Members LanEvo Posted September 13, 2005 Members Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hey...that looks just like my new 5-string Jazz bass. Bet yours sounds and feels a million times better, though Congrats on the purchase. I love Ken Smith's basses. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted September 13, 2005 Members Share Posted September 13, 2005 Very nice. If I were to play a "Fender", it would be something like that. I've heard they are very nice and priced well.Keep us posted on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gassing for that same SX. I just got a really good deal on this one. I actually don't like "Ken Smith" the person, but he designed a heck of a bass.

I was gassing for that same SX. I just got a really good deal on this one.I've never played an SX (or even seen one in person). I just placed an order today and I'll have to see what I think when it gets here. Frankly, my expectations are not too high for a sub $200 bass...so I really can't be disappointed! Originally posted by sheepdog I actually don't like "Ken Smith" the person, but he designed a heck of a bass. I don't know him personally. But I've always loved the sound and distinctive look of his basses. I have to admit, I was never a huge fan of the feel of his wide + flat necks. That's what's kept me from dropping huge amounts of money on one. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheepdog Posted September 13, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2005 I, unfortunately, had a run in with him on another bass forum. It's pretty much understood by everyone I've talked to (dealers, customers, etc...) that he is a genius, but an asshole genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
