Members James Hart Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 what year? big or small headstock? I like Smith basses... but not sure if I would take one over your Alembic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted September 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 I guess I deserve this: It's a newer small-head model, probably made in the last 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassesofalessergod Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 It's a newer small-head model, probably made in the last 8 years. aww no... say it aint so! you have now entered the bass shame circle..... you have a great bass, but you nitpick the little issues so you sell it and get something you think you'll like better... Then you get it and soon after you have buyers remorse so you sell it and think you'll like the next one better, then the buyers remorse kicks in and you sell it.... etc. i call it the mlw dance!

Moderators Kindness Posted September 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2008 I can think of MANY reasons to prefer the Smith. I don't see this as a fail, not even a minor one. I just am unsure what your reasons are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hmmm...I'm not qualified on the values of the basses to comment on the deal, but I know I've not played a Ken Smith and can't wait to try it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he claim momentary insanity ? Quietly lines up for a Daion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
