Oh, many thanks Tim.

I'm a BIG fan of Steely Dan's music...I own all their beautiful recordings and the Fagen's awesome solo cds.



Asap, I will post photos of my beautiful 1987's KSB BT 6 /bubinga t&b).

How can I post the attachements?

Ciao Tim

Thanx Tim

For practice i use a Hartke HA5000 amp with a Hartke 115TP cabinet (on small room) or Hartke 215XL cabinet (on a large room).

For live (on stage) i use an aguilar DB680 preamp, aguilar DB 728 amplifier with two aguilar GS 410 cabs

and also (sometimes) i use a Line6 Bass Pod preamp and always a Xotic Bass RC Booster (on stage)

Hector that's a beautiful bass.

Back in 96 I think, I went to a Yuri concert in Tijuana, I was part of the team that set up the stage and all the instruments. I had a chance to see the Smith of the bass player. I talked to him before they did a sound check and he said that Smith was not his, it was actually Hector Hermosillo's (former guitar player of Luis Miguel) Ken Smith bass. The Smith looked exactly like this:

but it was the CR version with 5 strings. That Smith had an agressive growl in your face that I really like. I even had a chance to play with it

I currently own a BSR6GN walnut top/back with tiger maple core, really love the sound of the walnut. I'm saving for a second Smith, and the wife just gave me permission to buy one . So that said I want a CR5M with flamed avodire wings and walnut center block with black hardware. My question to you is, how would you describe the sound of your bass?

[Chris Fox]

Bought this beautiful lady last year (1995 CR-5 in zebra with mahogany core), and finally got around to calling the shop for the $5 volume knob to bring her back to spec. A big improvement, wouldn't you say?
