Fake Ken Smith on Ebay?

[Alex Meadow]

Hi all. I just wanted to make everyone aware of what I think is a fake Ken Smith being sold on Ebay. I'm not an expert on Smith basses, but I'm a big enough fan of them to know this one is beyond fishy. It looks like some parts from the KSD basses were added to parts crafted specifically to trick potential buyers as to the provenance of the bass. I don't know if the seller himself knows that he has a fake on his hands...otherwise he wouldn't be showing certain aspects as clearly as he is.

Take a look.
