Comments
Virtually New condition with the exception of one small dent on the base of the guitar as photographed below. Not a scratch or blemish anywhere else.
Incredible action with great feel and response.
Awesome dynamic and tonal range.
Incredible presence and versatility -- has tone flexibility that lays into any music perfectly from round classic jazz, to crisp well-articulated modern arrangements.
Ken Smith neck-through basses are the yardstick by which all other basses are measured when it comes to contemporary playing style. |
