    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
