Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The Ken Smith BSR5PE brings together premium materials, meticulous American craftsmanship, and the unmistakable versatility of a Smith bass. Its multi-wood body of maple, walnut, and cocobolo creates a striking appearance, complemented by a maple neck, ebony fingerboard, mother-of-pearl inlays, and gold hardware. Custom Ken Smith humbucking soapbar pickups deliver a powerful, articulate foundation, while the 18-volt active Smith B.M.T. 3-band EQ provides extensive control over your tone. Independent mini-toggle switches for each pickup offer Series, Parallel, and Single-Coil configurations, opening up a wide range of tonal possibilities. With a 34" scale, 24 frets, and Smith tuners, the BSR5PE is thoughtfully equipped for players who demand precision and expression from their instrument. Made in the USA and weighing 10 lbs. 4 oz., it comes complete with its Smith hardshell case.
