Ken Smith Basses, Ltd. 420 Race St./Po Box 199 Perkasie, PA 18944 www.kensmithbasses.com Manufacturer of high-quality, 100% hand crafted Bass Guitars since 1979. When I started this business there were no custom bass parts available, bridges or even electronics other than what you could buy in a music store which was very little. My profession back then as stated on my Tax Return was still 'Professional Musician' and not Luthier, as if the IRS would have a clue if it did (: ... Here we are now over 30 years later still making the Smith Basses in 4, 5, 6 and 7string models as requested by Bass Players from around the world of all ages, walks of life as well as Professional or Amatuer and everything inbetween. Our Bass Strings and related Accessories have made an equal impression amongst musicians as well. Our Basses are made today with most of the same methods we used in the beginning with only basic woodworking tools and our custom made fret slotting saw as we do not have any automated machines here. In fact, we make our Basses closer to the way that old Violins were made rather than anything resembling today's industry type Guitar making methods. Slow is fine with us as each Bass is individual, just like the player that is buying it.
