This is a VERY nice Smith. I had one near identical with 1 more string (5 string). It was the best quality control I have ever seen in an instrument. These basses sound like no other. Great bass..... Good Luck!!

@grave

I wrote in your "Smith sold Thread" - the owner of your Ex Smith is going to pick up a 78 JB he bought from me in two weeks - so I'm gonna play your Fusion elite ;) - looking forward to that

It's 7 years old - but I have hardly played it the last 4 years. My personal taste of sound changed a bit more to Jazz Bass and P Bass since that time.

I feel now that it should get a new owner because it should be played because it's a great Bass.
