Hello everyone, it's nice to be here in Ken's Corner.
This is the first time I've joined a forum but I've just got a Ken Smith 'Burner' 5 string and I'm so happy with I just wanted to share it with you all.
Thanks.

Got any pics of yer Burner then?

What kind of music/other gear do you have?

The body is ash, with EMG pick-ups and a Wilkinson bridge.
I think this is a little unusual and maybe someone altered the bass before me and added the EMGs and Wilkinson. Either way it sounds really great, with a fantastic B string, a fast and comfy neck and the whole bass is quite light weight.
The bass is a bit battered and it's been well used but that just adds to the charm.
Here she is in all her glory!

I'll admit to a soft spot for battered beater basses. The wear and tear, so long as its superficial, mellows the bass out. Plus noone has to worry about a little extra ding every now and then.

Ken can sell you some replacement parts, if you ever want to restore your instrument, too.
