The plastic sounds good, but the brass resonators have more projection. Slightly more clarity and brings out more of the horns character.

@@clifnotes9091 Thanks for the info

@@cellynovilela6282 Infelizmente eles não fazem mais esse baixo específico com incrustações de bloco. Foi uma edição limitada da Sweetwater. Você pode encontrar um usado no eBay ou Reverb.

Thanks!

Thanks! It belongs to a new owner now. It looks better than ever now.

Thanks!

The bass was built like a tank! One of the best basses I’ve ever owned! Everything was even and solid. This was an earlier KSD 6 string so the hardware and quality was excellent. When you upgrade the pickups and preamp in those basses they rival the tone in the more expensive ones.

@clifnotes9091 thanks for the reply! Good to know about the upgrades. 🤘

Thanks! I used 4 to 5 lug wheel spacer/adapters.

@@clifnotes9091 the 5x100 adapter?

⁠@@juanmireles9850I can’t remember the specs, but the total spacer/adaptor bolt pattern depends on what type of rims you have. They were custom made to my specs so that the rims and tires were flush with the kit.

@clifnotes9091 oh okay thaks I just or a lp super warrento from luxurycarpart from Taiwan and I was just wondering but I'll wait untill I get the kit then I'll find what specs I need to run . I kwap my mr2 ..thank you for the information

@@juanmireles9850No problem! Good luck on your project!👍🏽

Yes.

How much did it go for ?

@@clifnotes9091 will you build another ?

Sí, ¡un 2GR-FE estaría muy bien! Lamentablemente me quedé sin fondos para terminar.

Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully one day I will play the bass more than I play the saxophone!😂

What specific modification? Most of the body came from Turismo UK.

@petegalindez9961 It’s the same exact tenor, neck, mouthpiece reed, everything. I recorded with my iPad Pro. You have great eyes. Looks like I did take a slight step back on the 1st clip. But the audio is true to what you would hear live. I prefer my tone with the metal resos. It’s more livelier.

The other variable is the built in iPad compressor. That is to say when you play loud the iPad will automatically adjust the video volume. This could be the reason why the metal reso clip sounds like there is less bass or mid low in the sound. Also the metal sounds like distortion on loud attacks. But not sure if thats the iPad mic clipping or the true sound. Question was your sax in need of an overhaul at the time you did the swap? Or was it already in great condition and you simply swapped out the resos? And did you keep the same pads? Pads also can tend to have different tones. Thanks for doing this, I'm about to do a change pad so lots of options to decide on.

Thank You!

Hi @dslapster64 The Japanese BSRB Ken Smiths were made in Japan but finished by Ken Smith himself. His signature and date of completion is on the inside of the compartment cover. It has the stock Ken Smith soapbars and preamp that is exactly same as the USA ones.

It’s all stock.

Same as front. Ceika big brakes for the MR2 Spyder. Thanks!

Thanks! Just sold it. Great to meet another fellow saxophonists! Blessing to you!

Thanks!

I forgot where I got them from. You have very good eyes! I forgot that I upgraded those too!😄But they belong to another vehicle that fits perfectly on this car. Once I look through all I’ve purchased and find out, I’ll reply here.

I think they are from a Toyota truck. Not sure of the model.

Tacoma possibly?

@@matthewbrickman8287I think so. Try Amazon.

Thank You!!!

Thanks. It’s up for sale, for someone who can finish it properly. It’s currently on eBay.

Thank you so much!

Around $30,000 total. It still needs some bodywork finished. It’s for sale eBay.

Modified Turismo UK interior kit customized to fit Left hand drive dash.

Turismo UK makes the kit.

It has Airtekk air suspension.

Thanks!

Thanks Bro! I was running it through a Peavey 210TX combo. All knobs were set flat at 12.

@cliftonbrady9091 nice nice I saw a 4 string that same model used on guitar center they are more $ then the new limited model

@@iamLexxKelsey Yea, I haven’t seen how much they are worth now. But I do know that I will never sell this thing!😄

It does dslapster64. It has the same exact preamp as higher end models and is signed and dated by Ken Smith on the inside. People sleep on the Ken Smith BSRB 6 string!

Hi Garry! I bought them from “Frank Woodwind and Brass Repair.” They are located in Audubon, NJ.

Thank You!

Hi Fred! Thank you brother, for your support and kind words! Keep seeking the Lord because he is the source of everything we need! Take care and blessings to you!

I love the Geddy Lee Jazz basses! I went a different route and wrapped my pick guard in carbon fiber.😁

@@clifnotes9091 even better, originality!!! I would actually love to get a Geddy Jazz, but. Would have to redo it so it didn’t look like a Geddy. (Make it my own)

Well said my friend! I still have this bass. I’ve since then added Bartolini soap bars, a Glockenklang 3 band pre, and hipshot bridge. I love the look and sound.

@@clifnotes9091 I’ve got a boutique 6 string bass that’s got Bartolini’s and I’m actually a fan of them. Getting close to 50 years with the bass, and like you apparently, I love changing things to suit me and my wants and needs. I don’t know how it’s gonna work or sound, but I’m actually in the process of scalloping a long scale 4 string neck, just to see. I just might have the only completely scalloped neck, as I’ve never heard of one. That’s some real donkey work though.

When they first came out, they were $450. How much are they selling it for? I hate that they are no longer making them.

@@clifnotes9091 thanks for replying, they are selling it to me for $600

@@hawkr1575 If you haven’t bought one yet, you might want to try eBay.

I respect your comment and honesty. It’s been almost 2 years of owning this bass. Since then, I’ve replaced the pickups ,preamp and bridge. But, I still think it’s a great bass for the price.

@@clifnotes9091 The pre-amp and bridge were probably fine,...it's just the pickups. So what pickups and preamp did you replace the stock setup with?

@@saidboogeron-the-air9525 I replaced the pickups with Bartolini soapbars and the preamp with a Glockenklang 3band.

@@clifnotes9091 Have you made a recent video of the bass with the new upgrades?

@@saidboogeron-the-air9525 No I haven’t. I need to post more vids.

On this particular clip, I have no earthly clue! They were the strings that came with the bass. I assume that they were Fender strings. I since then have used “Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalts” and “D’Addario ProSteels” and I love those more.

Yes it’s my main axe right now. I did have to change out the pre.

Thanks Bro Jermaine! Trying to maintain my sax skills. How’s that Squire Contemporary holding up? I should be posting a vid soon with mods I made to mine.

@@clifnotes9091 it’s still great I got Audere pre and Nordys in it with a coil tap switch check it out I just posteD a video with it

No problem L Wade! It was such a great bargain and had such a great tone, I had to get my Son to record me playing it. The quality control is excellent, especially if you get it from Sweetwater. After inspection, they took a professional picture of my bass before shipping it off to me. I thought that was cool. Good choice! It’s one of the best bargain basses you can buy. After over a year, I still love it!
