New '99 BSR "B" Model Basses from
Ken SmithAvailable in 4, 5 & 6 String August 8, 1999 Ken Smith Basses, LTD proudly introduces the new BSR "B"
model. This Bass has been created to bring to the musician a more affordable Smith
Bass with the BSR shape.
The BSR "B" replaces the "Burner" series Basses. Hardware
and Electronics remain the same. The Standard and Deluxe models have a 3-pc Laminated
Hard Rock Maple Neck. The Custom Models have a 5-pc Laminated Hard Rock Maple/Walnut
Neck. What distinguishes the BSR "B" from the Burner Model is the steamlined
BSR Body and Headstock shape. This Body and Headstock have become extremely popular
with our "J" Models as well as our other USA Handmade Bolt-on and Neck-Thru
Basses.
The BSR "B" is available in 4, 5, & 6 String Models with a Polyester
Finish:
| Standard |
Onyx Black (over Alder) |
| Deluxe |
Swamp Ash (Antique Natural) |
| Custom |
Tiger Maple (Antique Natural) |
| Custom |
Black Walnut (Antique Natural) |
These Basses are a culmination of 9 years of great sales of our "Burner"
series Basses, new Body shape that doubled Ken Smith's orders, and that Classic
"Smith" Sound. The new BSR "B" Basses are in production now.
