Phew! Just gorgeous! My fingers ache for that bass :)
Good to see you still doin' it, Ken. You look great!
I own two, absolutely the greatest basses I’ve ever owned!
My life's goal is to own a Smith one day!
Man!!! I could listen to Mr. Smith discussing his basses for hours. Humble, Down -To-Earth GENIUS!!!
You’re a legend, Ken! Would love to play one of your basses someday.
GENIUS....PLAIN & SIMPLE!!!
He is one of the G.O.A.T in the bass
Thanks a lot.!
I'm SO GLAD we get to see and hear from a Master Instrument Maker in his workshop showcasing his creations on such informal terms! Ken Smith Basses: Never Broke, Needs No Fixing and Always Ahead of Their Time!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ken, I have your ‘Music Minus One’ recording, from the 70’s…Love those pickups!
Beautiful
Where on stock?! :)
I miss my Ken Smith bass 😢
Lovely ❤❤❤❤
I am the proud owner of a BSR5J that I ordered in late 2000, and excitedly picked up in February 2001. I still have the original hard shell case, but the strap was stolen a long time ago. This bass is one my most prized possessions, and it has seen many, many gigs, and brought endless hours of joy. I wish the 'J' series would be re-introduced with options akin to the Elite series, or Black/White Tiger series. That would be insane. Cheers from Vancouver, BC.
Why no maple fingerboards?
People should by what they want, who are you.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I only realize now it’s my bass :)
Oh my god, that's the one!
Ken smith finger style sounds good, but their slap tone not so good.
guys what strings on this bass B E A D G C F ????????? 🤔👀👀👀👀
Can ship pick-ups and preamp for brazil?
Hello Mr. how are you I just visited your music channel and watched some videos. Your videos are very good. I saw your channel and videos and realized that your channel is not properly optimized and SEO done. Even if your videos are of high quality, the SEO score is zero, no tags are used. Which helps to increase channel and video views quickly. I am eager to help you in this task.

Ken I have an old p bass that was converted to a full Smith. It’s great but they painted over original finish and I was wondering what I could use to remove the paint since it is over Polyurethane? Appreciate your help! B
“Use this.” What? What did he say that one was “?
Great advice and explanation, especially for those new to bass. 👍
7 string dreamin'❤🤑
Pau’ferro it’s very underrated wood, really amazing sound definitely one of my favorites
I went to high school with Rickey Minor. I will always have love for him. He has always been humble and had a great sense of humor. Sending my love to ya Ricky. ❤
Does Ken Smith make any Headless Basses?
Its cool to see you guys are back to making videos
I'm disappointed with you! I wrote you a letter - but you didn’t answer! Learn to treat people correctly from the beginning! and answer letters! everything else - no matter what you do... - makes no sense - if you don’t care about people!

Very interesting video clip. Incidentally, I love my Ken Smith bass, a 2015 BSR4TN Black Tiger, which I’ve had since new.
Dream bass... hopefully in 2024! (and hopefully not too long of a waiting list!)
Proud owner of a BSR 6. I own a lot of basses, but my Smith six string, with the bubinga wood top and headstock, is the pride of my collection in both sight and sound. They are magnificent basses, and you, sir, are a skilled craftsman. Here's wishing you the very best of success, good health, and happiness.
Thnx Ken from Phoenix
Thanks Ken.
Amazing stories thank you sir really appreciate your contribution to the music world I hope to own one of the smith basses
Whats the background music?
I love how all instrument makers act like the wood matters, its all in the electronics wood plays a VERY small role
It actually does make a difference….especially the moisture content of the wood. Ken takes the drying process very seriously so the wood barely moves after the instrument is sold
@@danevans292 the wood plays very little role in the tone All wood used to make guitars is dried lol I guarantee you could never tell the difference between a maple or rosewood fretboard or the difference between a maple or mahogany body.
“I would have fired me”, Rickey Minor 😜fresh
I have a White Tiger 6. I use it in series 90% of the time. I like the option of parallel though. Versatility is always a bonus.
Master Melvin Davis he is no joke on Bass guitar...first time I heard him play a Bass solo in the late 80s I was blown away.
I saw him in 80/1 playing CSULB. He played an Ibanez Musician. He pulled up in his 911 and absolutely turned it out!
I have been there going to the b thinking it's the E 😅
Great! Eight minutes of testimony but I haven't heard the bass in this video.
