I just came across these pics today. This was my first Smith, 1985 Set Neck, Passive Electronics. I bought it new and owned it for 20 years, had to let it go to get my 5 String Smith.

85 Ken Smith BT 5 G & 1995 Ken Smith BMT 4 Cocobolo
Take a look at my super rare ken smith collection. The 85 is the first shedua bass ken ever did and there are less than a handful of BMTs that were made in a 4 string. This one is a super rare cocobolo top and back with mahogany core. The sweetest sounding four you will ever play.

1989 Ken Smith BT5EG
Hi guys,
I'm new at the forum. I'm a young belgian bassplayer and this is my 1989 Ken Smith BT5EG with Morado top, Walnut back, Mahogany core and ebony fretboard. I love this bass, I wanted one ever since i saw my teacher's BT6EG. It plays great, and sounds great. There's just a little problem with the electronics, it's playable but i get this hum when i play passive (so i don't  ) but all this should be sorted out when i buy a new electronics retrofit from Ken Smith.(sorry for the greasy fingers! i took these pictures after playing for a while)

thx Michael,
I would love to just send my bass to Ken so that he could check everything out. But as i said i'm young and from belgium so the cost for the shipment and the inssurance alone would be to costly for me. I worked in weekends and hollidays just to pay for the bass. And i'm pretty broke now so with UPS it would be to costly. Someday , thx, Mattijs

BMT 4 Morado ?
Coming soon into my arsenal: a New Old Stock (!!) BMT 4 Elite:
  the serial number is BMT4R... Does that mean Morado top ? The back looks like Zebrawood, is that true ?

Morado?
The top looks like Morado. Not certain about the back though; possibly Morado. Doesn't look like a Zebra wood back to me. Fretboard also looks like Morado (Pau Ferro).
Ken?
