The lightest Ken Smith Bass

[Otto Orraca]

I am saving some cash so I can get another Ken Smith Bass, How ever I need it to be light weight. My last BSR5GN was made with maple and that bass was very heavy. I just play a 20th Anniversary Limited Edition BSR and that bass was really light I was surprised. Since that was just a LT, I would like to know what woods combination would give me the lightest weight on a BSR5GN

You might consider Alder (if available), Ash, Lacewood, or Avodire with a Mahogany core as a possibility. If you are ordering new, you should check with Ken on availability of these choices.
