【used】Ken Smith / BSR5 White Tiger 2018 4.545kg #5WT6811VP18【GIB Yokohama】

Ken Smith is a brand based in Pennsylvania, New York that is known for producing the highest quality electric basses.

The company is also known for developing the world's first 6-string bass and designing tapered core strings, and is a pioneer in modern bass design.

This model uses a body shape called BSR.

The BSR is a model that fits bassists who perform live, and is known for being used by Marcus Miller, Melvin Davis, and others.

There are several variations of this brand depending on the combination of wood, but this spec is called White Tiger.

It uses a through neck joint, and the body wing is a 5 ply laminate type with 4A Tiger Maple on the top and back, Western Quilted Maplem in the core, and Mahogany in between.

The wood construction is mainly maple, giving the sound a clear and straight texture.

The neck is a 5P laminate type of Maple and Shedua.

The method of making a neck by gluing multiple pieces of wood together is a method to reduce left-right differences and individual differences, and to obtain higher stability.

The fingerboard is made of beautiful Macassar Ebony.

The PU is equipped with an original dual coil.
Series and parallel can be switched separately.

The preamplifier is also the original type, and you can see the HAZ print as usual.

The nuance of the low B string is the same as the E string, and the texture that connects all the strings is unique to Ken Smith.
It's a relatively new work, but the quality is just as great as ever.

Overall condition is very good and could not be more beautiful.

This is a top-of-the-line electric bass that I recommend with confidence.

Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and painted surface is good overall, although there are some small dents and scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.
