Awesome! I'm 42 lying in a hospital awaiting open heart surgery. I been playing bass since I was 13. I remember my mum bought me a bass magazine. In the corner of the page was a Ken Smith 6 string bass. I said to myself... one day I will buy one, it hasn't happened yet but I still have it in my sights. Listening to this bought a smile to my face. Beautiful instruments, beautiful tone. Awesome player. Look after yourselves, keep playing bass!! Ken Smith basses rock!!
@@_Majoras Hi, My surgery went well. Im 6 weeks post opp. Got the big zipper scar but im doing well. After the surgery my surgeon mentioned if I didn't have opp I would have died before Christmas, so thank God I got it sorted. Thank you for your concern. It means a lot!
Love my Smith BSR 6. The feel is extraordinary and the sound is second to none. I own fifteen basses of assorted manufacturer, string, and style confiuration. I like them all, but the Smith runs the anchor leg of every meaningful gig or jam session I ever get into.👑🎸🎶
That tone tho!! I have one and I tune mine a whole note down, just like Anthony Crawford does with his Roscoe. So my tuning then goes from B, E, A, D, G, C to A, D, G, C, F, A#. At this tuning, the tone is like "WOW!"
Perfect basses for playing in the upright position or either chording! When it comes to the aggressive stuff like attacking some funk I would choose others first (not many but a couple😂). IMO Smith's tone is very pretty and clear like a vocalist on a ballad
Ervin Colman depends the bass , every bass has his match mostly DR Hi, sunbeams,Ddt all incredible. and Fodera Nikel amazing for others and Bluesteels in one very unique and Pro-steels are a thunder but a have tried many i love to know about strings you tell me what you use?
This is a older one... I think a BT6... Yes, they sound a bit different to todays models, I think it’s due to the different neck through construction...
The higher register strings have that funny nasally twang , I guess that’s an acquired taste , every dude I heard play one sounds the same , J pattituci , Gary grainier , and others , don’t care for it at all. I’d say they play amazing though
Awesome!

now: whatchawaiting4 ? ! get out and get You a legal KS !
I love my Ken Smith 5 string Burner. Purchased new in 1999, and it's been my favorite bass ever since. Rock solid, and built for tone and speed!
There’s nothing like a Ken Smith.
This video is the reason why I bought a Smith. Unbelievable tone.
Dwayne is nice with it!!!!! Him and Reggie Young put me on to Ken Smith!!! The best thing I've purchased in my life!!!!!!
That is just about the best bass tone I've ever heard.
Yeah, just like some people like to say: "Nuffin' sounds like a Smiff!"
Nick Salazar, I have never heard a Smith that crystal clear. This young man is one clean player!
Honestly.
Yea they are the gold standard when it comes to clarity! Aggressive bite and growl I would have to choose a couple others first
One of my favorite bass players. A true artist.
Yessir! He's been killing on his Smith for a while! Amazing talent!!!
That thing just sings with amazing clarity.
If you turn on captions while he's playing, the word "you" appears around 1:41. That's how close this bass sounds to a singing human voice.
No need to be jumping ship. You have all the tone you need right there. Killer playing Dwayne!
I think Ken Smith basses just sound perfect. The feel may be subjective. But the sound is spot on, simply perfect! A Ken Smith is a bass for life.

Beautiful tone ! Great player !

"Tone is in your heart and your body. Not the instrument." damn, I'm going to steal your phrase, it's so true!
Yes sir ya'll, my next and last bass purchase will be a Ken Smith. I love the sound quality and articulation. Can't wait.
LOVE YOUR PLAYING DW!!!!!
Ken Smith is the best, you love guitars
Ken smith basses are superior. Hands down.
That sounded extra sweet... damn
Outstanding !
Errrrrm! Why the hell don't my Smith sound like that? :-D Haha. When in the hands of a master player, you get masteRY. Beautiful stuff, DW.
I have GOT to get me a Ken Smith
So so proud of you!!!

Are you running ken Smith strings also?
People should by what they want, who are you.

This is the CR 6 model!
@@KenSmithBasses Does this one have a pau ferro fretboard?
Too bad they don’t make them like this anymore
They don't??
Andrew James nope...
@@steveaguilar7625 in what way has it changed?
Which Ken Smith model is this one
This is a older one... I think a BT6... Yes, they sound a bit different to todays models, I think it’s due to the different neck through construction...
prefer the old headstock...
Basically don’t buy it if you’re a crappy player

Thats the best part.
not like a fender
There are a hundred instruments out there that would give any Fender a run for its money in build quality, feel, and tone. It's not 1960 anymore ;)
A fender is garbage
Cual es el precio de esa maquina
