This won't last long. dunno what's up with the A string, thinking maybe it's just not tuned up to tension? Regardless, this has the highly desirable BT electronics.

Funny that this would come up just as we had that mutant "Smith" thing a few days ago. :lol:

This is nice, not my cup of tea anymore, but very rare and the price is really good. I still remember the Smith BSR-5 I had to be THE most comfortable and playable 5-string neck to date of all the 5-string I have played.

Too bad these things tend to be around 10 lb, but for somebody who doesn't care so much about weight and is into this sound (gospel, R&B, fusion, jazz, NYC modern jazz stuff) this is truly a gem.

Nice bass - I like the description "if you prefer to play righty."
I don't play bass often (for me it should be I don't play bass well), but when I do, I prefer to play lefty :)

if you haven't already noticed, the seller has this listed in our for sale section at a considerable lower price that what's listed on ebay. Someone needs to jump on this quick!
