2008 BSR5 Elite
Flagship model of Ken Smith, the king of high-end!
Ken Smith" continues to be highly supported as a high-end brand.
Ken Smith is a pioneer of multi-string basses and has influenced many manufacturers by developing elements essential to the modern bass market, such as printed circuit boards, pickup balancers, and graphite neck reinforcement, which is now becoming mainstream.
The BSR we have just received has a specialized shape for better balance when played standing up, with a longer horn and a longer body than the BT, which is specialized for seated playing.
The Elite model is a special model with a catalyzed lacquer finish.
The unique laminated body and Ken Smith's Neck-thru through-neck construction with laminate sandwiched between the laminate are used, and Ken Smith's characteristics and individuality can be felt clearly on this model.
The lack of a spec sheet makes it impossible to determine the exact wood material, but it is probably walnut on the top, mahogany and maple inside, and the neck is also a 5-piece made of graphite.
The neck is also 5P with graphite.
Controls include 1 Volume, PU Balancer, 3 Band EQ, and Series/Parallel/Single Switch for each PU, allowing for a variety of sound creation.
The fat and smooth sound of the Ken Smith is evident in the clear pitch feel of the notes on all strings and in all positions.
The laminate body of the Ken Smith provides a high end sound that is uncluttered and high quality.
