Thanx Tim

For practice i use a Hartke HA5000 amp with a Hartke 115TP cabinet (on small room) or Hartke 215XL cabinet (on a large room).

For live (on stage) i use an aguilar DB680 preamp, aguilar DB 728 amplifier with two aguilar GS 410 cabs

and also (sometimes) i use a Line6 Bass Pod preamp and always a Xotic Bass RC Booster (on stage)

This is my beloved baby

[Bob Faulkner]

Nice wood on that one. Hard to believe that bass is over 20 years old now isn't it?

[Michael Wilson]

This is my money maker.

[Bob Faulkner]

very nice.. that chocolate stripe running up the fingerboard is dead sexy!

[Michael Wilson]

Thanks Bob, i have not seen too many of Kens basses with that type of fretboard, but you really need to hear this bass, unreal tone. I took it to the Guitar Center here in NY to get it fitted for a gig bag. One of the sales cats asked me to plug it in and the whole store stopped what they were doing to find out where that sound was coming from. The store manager wanted to buy the bass, but i looked at him like he was a MAD MAN. Its a 91 BT6.

You have baited us... everyone in the forum. So when can you post an MP3 of what this bass sounds like

[Michael Wilson]

As soon as i get back from Vegas to NY Where i live. in 2 weeks.

[Bob Faulkner]

I never met a Smith that didn't have an amazing tone

[Michael Wilson]

I have played and own many Smith basses, but for some reason, this bass sounds a little tighter and crisper than my other Smith basses, but you are right Bob, all my Smith basses sound great.

I'm glad you did, Bob. The bass is a thing of beauty, and you look like you're having fun! Play on!!!!

[Jason Mendelson]

Well, I added a new smith to the family last week... an 03 BSR6GN Maple / Walnut / Maple...

Its on the right in these pix along with my BMTE6G and BSR6EG

I was really hoping to find a LOCAL 5 string fretted for sale, but I stumbled across this one...

[Bob Faulkner]

Very nice! Man someone played the holy squeeze outta that thing! That's a lot of wear for just 5 years old..
