Default Got to play a very special Smith....

I would first like to say hello to all Smith owners and to the Smith crew.

A good friend of mine has number 032 (yes he is the origional owner), and I was able to play it for a couple of days. No pictures for certain reasons, but WOW! Obviously it is a piece of history, but this thing blew my mind!

It weighs a ton for obvious reasons only a vintage smith afficianado would know,but man..this thing is killer!

Im sold on the Smith bass.

ken, if you read these at all, 032 was built in 1984??? Ahead of your time....way ahead of your time.

Cool 032?

Isn't #032 a 6-string? If so, the original owner is Bill Dickens. I will look up the # next week.

Well, if you want to buy a few, you are just a few threads away from temptation!

It's best just to give in to the temptation and splurge. You only live once on this big ball of mud!
