Show your Smith bass!

[Terry Atkinson]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum, so forgive my screen name. It is in process to be changed, per forum protocol. My real name is Terry.

My Smith is a 92 CR5. I have had it for 6 or so years. White oak over walnut core. I haven't seen one in oak before, from any builder. Not an especially flamboyant wood, but very cool if you are into understated wood.

I have a question for Ken on the bass. As you can see, under the serial number is stamped "Chucky". The seller told me he bought it at a show, and it was built *for* Chuck Rainy. Any truth to that, or shall I dash my hopes right now?

Whatever the history, its a great sounding and fun bass to play.

Terry
