Show your Smith bass!

[Gareth Morgan]

My first post, so hello all!

At the moment I have just one Smith, a BMT Elite G from 1994. It is, hands down, the best bass I have ever owned (and I've owned a lot).

I bought it a few years back, and it was originally fretless and had seen some wear. The guy I bought it from said it had been owned by Reba McIntire's bassist, but I can't confirm if that is true or not.

Anyway, I returned it to Ken to be refinished and have the sp switches fitted. It was given a general overhaul and a few other bits tidied up.

Now it plays like a dream and has the most amazing tone. The fingerboard is one thick slab of ebony that gives the bass massive sustain and presence in the mix. I love it!

Here it is hanging out with my Epi rig...



Cheers
