    @ Khan jolie Smith ;) (toujours dispo pour me filer des cours de basse ? :closedeyes: )

    Concernant la Smith BT4-86 :

    Toujours sur Basschat, topic de vente d'un prorpio précédent, il y a débat autour du fait que cette basse aurait peut être été fabriquée par Fodera, au moment de la collaboration Smith/Fodera

    Sans vouloir faire l'ancien, je viens juste d'apprendre cela. :closedeyes:

    J'ai eu un échange de mail avec Ken Smith hier :

    Hi Ken

    Honoured to be pm late at night (mostly 2 am here) by Ken Smith himself !

    I play actually on Roscoe LG3005 and i like it but it don’t has the “Smith Growl”

    My band is going to play more and more funk / jazz / fusion stuff and i need a bass with that mojo requested

    I plan to trade my Roscoe for a second (third ?, Fourth ?) hand old KSB and I’ve red, here and there, that this serie was built during the cooperation with Vinnie Fodera in 80’s

    But anyway, this is not so important.

    The bass is a BT4-86, Serial N° 86 266 with a dovetail set neck and a nice high grade flamed mapple top.

    As a pure newbie, i would like to have some information on Pups, Electronic ...

    Please apologize my poor english (french guy inside)

    Cheers,

    Franck

    et sa réponse :

    No, anything built when Fodera worked with/for me was before serial #200. This bass #266 (1986) was built here in Pennsylvania, not New York. Fodera never saw that bass. These were made better than anything Fodera touched. We started making basses in Pennsylvania in the end of 1985. Fodera worked with with and for me up untill that time but even in the first 199 basses, some were never touched by Fodera himself. No bass was ever completed in Brooklyn. I finished them all in my shop in NYC at that time from the beginning.

    Thank you,

    Donc le point est réglé, pas de sales pattes de Fodera sur cette basse !

    Manifestement il y a un contentieux entre Ken et Vinnie car je trouve le ton de son mail pas hyper cool vis-à-vis de Fodera ..

    To get here from San Francisco:

    Travel north on 101 over the Golden Gate Bridge

    After approximately 45 minutes, exit at Hearn Avenue

    First left on Santa Rosa Avenue

    First left on Hearn Avenue (this takes you over the overpass)

    First left on Corby Avenue. You're now travelling south on the frontage road to 101 with all the car dealerships on your right.

    At the Ford dealer, Corby makes a sharp right and becomes Bellevue

    First right on Wiljan Court. We're on the left, number 3005, grey building with green trim. If you reach a stop sign, you've gone too far.

    et tu arrives ici
