【used】Ken Smith / Burner 5 4.045kg【GIB Yokohama】

Ken Smith is a New York-based brand that produces the highest quality electric bass guitars.
Their products are truly exquisite, captivating countless bassists.

This model is the Burner, an ambitious creation manufactured in Japan that fully incorporates the essence of Ken Smith.

This model features distinctive features such as a bolt-on joint and a BT shape.

It is also known to have been a favorite of Hadrien Feraud in his early days.

The serial number is likely written on the back of the backplate, but it was obscured by the silver foil tape.

The body wings are likely mahogany.

The center block appears to be quilted maple.

The body has been refinished.

The neck is a laminate of maple and likely mahogany.
The technique of bonding multiple pieces of wood together to create the neck minimizes variations between left and right guitars and individual differences, resulting in greater stability.

The fingerboard is rosewood.

The pickups have been replaced with Bartolini single coils.

The preamp has been replaced with an Aguilar OBP-3.

The nut has been replaced with a bone oil-soaked nut.

The tuning machines have been replaced with GOTOH RES-O-LITE Black.

Compared to the USA-made series, the sound is clearer and more powerful.

The sense of speed and wide range are particularly noteworthy, and the quick, clear attack that doesn't get lost even in fast passages is very appealing.

A masterpiece from Ken Smith made in Japan.
