Love how Johnny says boutique....more like beautique...You never fail to make my day better Johnny !!!

Ken Smith basses are among the best in the world.

One of all time favorite basses.. My two Motown bass buddies are endorsers of the Smith basses.. Al ( Burner Turner) & Terrance Palmer. So, I get to hear that sound all the time..

I love your positive up beat personality. Love that bass too!

The Ken Smith tone is killing as well as the playability!

Always enjoy your spirit my brother, thank you for sharing may God continue to bless you as you are blessing us

I admire how much passion you have for the bass. And that giggle man, gets me every time 😁

The first play of it took me to heaven lord Ken Smith

It's got that gospel tone to it.

Lord have mercy! That Ken Smith slap tone is divine!

You make a poor man sad , a dream tone monster out of my financial league ! Thanks for a great channel !

KEEP EM COMING

I wish I could afford one. For me ken smith is the best

Lovely Tonality.....Amazing Punch!! That's the difference between a BOLT-ON & Neck-Thru

A good example of that is Billy Sheehan's "Attitude" Yamaha signature bass. Prior to the Attitude, Sheehan played a heavily modified Fender Precision bass but that bass has an issue with a shifting neck. i2.wp.com/www.notreble.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Jon-Willis-Billy-Sheehan-Wife-Bass-Replica-full-620x188.jpg?resize=620%2C188 So when he got his deal with Yamaha, they gave him a Pink BB-series custom bass with a neck through body design, which he loved because of how stable it was, that neck wasn't going to go anywhere. i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/d5/e7/4dd5e7180d53ad9b7895bee8bda5ece6.jpg But the downside was that that bass didn't have the punch his old Fender had. So when the Attitude was built they went to extreme lengths to develops a bolt on neck system where the neck wouldn't be able to move even if you slammed the bass into the ground. Sheehan STILL plays those basses 29 years after they first came out. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1304/0581/products/IMG_0278_92bda16a-4638-4164-83bf-1692df2f4fc0.jpg?v=1492138973

What a beautiful bass

Ken Smith are world class instruments I hope to own one some day.

Wonderful

Shadakaka..great as always..great audio

Hey Johnny. Thanks for the word on selection. Every Bass, Amp, Etc is not for everybody. Different ears, taste, etc. I've heard a lot of folks talk bad about someone's selection that the player really likes. 😋

I've wanted one since 1996! That bass is beautiful!

Matthew Mayer Lessee....you've wanted one since 1996...that's roughly 22 years give or take a month or two...365 days a year...8030 days...a new KSB would run you around $6gs...if you had saved about 75 cents a day when you first got the bug...VOILA...You'd be picking it up this weekend 😕😅

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!! I own 2. Its like playing a Lion!!!!

This is the best guitar shape, I will buy one day!

That little laugh you do is fucking precious.

What are the pick ups used on that particular bass..?

Great bass. The audio does not give enough tone variation. I know it does a lot but not shown here. Did Ken add the inlays for you after market?

It is somewhat hard to slap on it if string spacing is under 17mm, but pick and fingerstyle are no problem.

Man listening to the tone from that thing is Bass Porn brother I'm gonna find one of these jems for sure

I want a Smith soooo badly!!!!!.whats do good about a smith? There simply iconic . Like why is nike so popular. They just are. It Naturally has that burpey sound you don't need to sit in the back pickup to achieve that sound. Exactly it sounds expensive. Their just top quality instruments. Just like hearing a music man. Or a P or a Jazz they have their own sound.

I wish I was johnnys neighbor,,,crazy guy

This was too hard to watch. 😫

I have never really liked Ken Smith's basses just not my type of bsss. I'm sure that they are nice
