A friend has bought this bass and is now waiting for delivery. Usually I don't get too excited by exotic boutique basses, but this one looks absolutely phenomenal, and I have a secret soft spot for Ken Smiths. What do you think?

I've never played a Ken Smith bass, but I always thought they looked like very fine instruments. I'm generally not a fan of burl or spalted wood grains, but this one looks nice.
These basses play absolutely effortlessly and sound not as boutiquey as you might think. They are not Alembics. Even if you're into vintage P tone, Ken Smiths will provide it.
I've only ever played a Smith once, but it played and sounded great. I'm not in love with the body shape, but that top is gorgeous.
Looks like an art piece.
