I hope all of my fellow "Smith" Bass players out here have done what I have in respect to obtaining insurance on your axes and rigs. Personally I have to much $$ invested in my gear not to. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Insurance coverage.....
Couldn't agree with you more Albert!
My insurance policy is this; in this order: 1. My insurance company has me covered. 2. I live in a gated community and have a home that is fully Alarmed (w/motion detectors) and monitored. 3. I have 2 German Sheperds and a BC/Arctic/Eastern Timber Wolf on constant patrol in and outside my home. 4. Where coverages 1, 2, and 3 fail, I am always home and legally armed. Don't get me wrong, I see it as just stuff, but barring the unexpected I feel fairly well protected. Tim B. Last edited by Tim Bishop; 03-10-2007 at 02:51 PM. |

Albert, how do you have your basses insured? Homeowners, or an extension policy?

Hey, guys! In anticipation of receiving my Smith, I went ahead and spoke to my friendly State Farm Agent. We've been with her for years (Homeowners, Auto, some life, a Personal Articles policy or two). I told Teresa what I was receiving, and the value of it. She instructed me to bring the Smith in for a photo session, along with the receipt. She'll insure it under a separate "Personal Articles" policy for a nominal annual premium. If ANYTHING happens to it (theft, fire, etc.) it's then replaced at FULL value, no deductable! Like a good neighbor...well, you know the rest! |

Al, you've given me some good points to check! I KNOW our State Farm girl doesn't have any Smiths laying around for loaners (good point!), but I know that if the axe is ANYWHERE on this planet, it is covered for theft, fire, water damage, mysterious disappearance (her wording). At any rate, Clarion Instrument Insurance sounds well worth checking out. Thanks for lookin' out! |

Any experience with J-series?
Hello to you all!
Maybe it's off topic, but has anyone tried a Smith J-series bass? What were your impressions? I haven't played or touched or seen (except for pix on the web) a Ken Smith so far but I would like to order one. I was thinking of a J or J-MW. Do you by chance know any websites where I could listen to a J sample? Unfortunately walking in to a musical instrument store and try one is not an option for me :-( |

Smith J MW
I've owned a j mw for a year now and it's the best of both worlds.I almost had smith soapbars installed when i bought it but a guitar player(who also plays bass)gave me some insight.With just a slight tweak from the eq,i can go from the authentic" Smith" sound to early fender jazz,so i am very happy i didn't touch it

I am happy to hear that. I know that authentic Smith sound, but I've never tried what it feels like. I am much more familiar with J type basses. So does it also produce that bright HiFi voice as well? What wood is your J-MW made of? Originally I was planning to choose an ash only body, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe walnut-maple... |

beautiful bass man.. That's an awesome grain pattern in that ebony top. I often wonder how heavy those things are.
