Default Uncompleted Lefty Smith Bass on Ebay

Perhaps Mr. Smith will kindly grace us with his valued opinion or other information about this unusual offering for an uncompleted piece:

!983? If I didn't complete it and it was rejected, then this is a bootlegged/Stolen incomplete carcass bass or a counterfeit. It is not a Smith bass unless it comes from Ken Smith basses with our quality in the build and with our original parts. I don't remember this happening but they say 1983. I wasn't in the shop everyday back then so who knows. We don't have errors in the handwork here. We don't EVER sell seconds.

Bravo! Good to hear. Mr. Ken Smith. I respect that answer and I like that answer. I'm going to gig with my recently acquired Ken Smith bass tonight. What a pleasure it will be to play it with the band.
