【used】Ken Smith / BSR6 TN Black Tiger 2017 4.825kg #6TN6766WP17【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 machine is a 2017 BSR6 “Black Tiger”.
The body top and back are made of carefully selected 4A grade Claro Walnut, and have a 3-ply structure with Maple core.

Compared to models with bodies of 5 or more ply, the sound character allows you to feel the ""ringing of wood"" more in the front, and the response to picking is extremely agile.
Despite this, it is characterized by a vivid band feel that is not overly compressed.

The neck is a 5P laminate made of straight-grained Maple, and the fingerboard is Macassar ebony.

A combination of weight balance and resonance is achieved through rigorous wood processing and an ultra-thin finish using a uniquely formulated oil.

Although this model has a relatively simple structure among Ken Smith models, it has a very interesting acoustic personality.

As for the sound, the phase is consistent across all strings from low B to high C, and the fundamental tone output is stable.
The low B string in particular is clear and has a core, and works well without being buried in the mix.

In addition, Ken Smith's unique pickup and preamp design provides an extremely smooth and easy-to-use EQ response, making it a tone design that can be used immediately for live or recording.

Overall, this unit is a high-level fusion of Ken Smith's craftsmanship and acoustic design philosophy, and will definitely demonstrate its true value in professional settings.

Approximately 65% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are some small dents and scratches here and there, but they are not very noticeable and overall it can be said to be in good condition.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.
