This is a great bass! Super-light, very versatile preamp (bright, snappy tone that can be subdued to reggae-approved levels of thump), super-low action, very thin neck with little string-taper, HIGH attention to detail (look at the interior of the truss rod cavity!), deceivingly easy access to the higher frets (of which have very little wear)... It certainly is a great bass. The Japanese models are known for their excellent quality.

A number of dings are present, as shown in the photos (http://www.talkbass.com/threads/1991-ken-smith-burner-deluxe-4-japan.1206044/). No playability issues, of course; purely cosmetic.

I will have several interesting things for sale in the coming months. Stay tuned.

Thanks for looking!
