Don't even try to say anything negative, when God's hands are laid upon one of his children. Which is brother Long, blessed bassists, blessed craftsmanship, blessed and knowledgeable friend.💣🔥🙏👍💯🎸👍

[@fivestringraal]

Great experiment. Can really hear the difference and you describe it well.

[@MrAlwest77]

Man Johnny, every single time, you've got me on the floor rolling! Man, you need your own show!

[@Bigbasssix1972]

So beautiful and sounds so 🥰🥰🥰

[@Below-Average_Joe]

You did a great job, Johnny! The all maple construction makes me think of a Spector or Pedulla.

[@lawrenceholmes55]

Brother Johnny that Ken Smith is beautiful

[@harrysearia1784]

Fellas, you have to wear that style hat when playing a bass like that. Johnny you did that thing👏🏾 God blessed.

[@bass4amd]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@kevmac1230]

That is the cleanest sounding bass I've ever heard.Nice work!

[@Jonathan-kz7pc]

Thats what 8000 will get you

[@rkrock2514]

Brother Johnny Lee, you never cease to amaze! I've seen some of the best basses in my life on your channel! This Custom Ken Smith is just Exquisitely beautiful! Love, Luv, L-0-V-3 what you did to this bass! It reminds me of the ESP Custom Shop bass line! The medium faded stain In-side the lovely, engraved flower & paisley designs in the maple body gives it a vintage vibe, along with the "Patina" of the bridge hardware. Also, the maple fretboard flame figure brings it all together perfectly! Now that Awesome bass is More Awsome-Er! (

[@willardconner1003]

Love watching you at work might need you to do some work on my bass

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Oh my heavenly lord, 😍❤ what absolute beauty!! You are beyond blessed our big brother! We luv you and the queen and the Hobo depot!! We thank you for the daily prayers! ❤️🙏 this was amazing! Haven’t seen a bass get you emotional since the stingray J bass

[@catboyzee]

Blonde beauty. The custom mods on this instrument are sicker than sick; unprecedented for a Ken Smith. Oh, and to your point about a Maple fingerboard on a Ken Smith BT; I believe the operative words would be more BITE, ATTACK, & SNAP. To my ears, that Maple fingerboard has also tightened up the low end a bit. Loving the new look and sound.

[@tcollnz68]

Mannnnn…..that’s beautiful.

[@jeffreyadams6406]

the bass you play on a beautiful sound

[@randombassplayer_07]

Amazing!

[@michaeldevose8923]

KS bases already have an awesome slap attack, that maple fretboard just takes it to X-Men mutant mode.

[@lonniewright9824]

wowee she sweet make me want to play but just had rotator cuff surgery, and may god continue to bless you and the family

[@jamesreynolds4487]

I really like that bass

[@Mariodupree]

Let Him use you Doc! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

[@bruceelliott1211]

One of the most amazing Bass Guitar in History. 🤎✊🏾with No horn in it!!!

[@calvinparmer6096]

Love you brother!

[@asecondman6985]

Gorgeous

[@KeithCopeland778]

If Ken Smith is watching this, he should SERIOUSLY CONSIDER making basses with maple fretboards!!!! I've NEVER seen a Smith with a maple fretboard!!!!! This bass cuts through even more than normal and sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!! Almost a Smith-StingRay hybrid!!!!

[@alberthobson9504]

Incredible Bass...! The way you describe the maple neck (over the top close to distortion) is exactly what you did for my bass... See Johnny's Sonic Pilot 6 video...that's my bass. Can't thank you enough Johnny...🎸🎵🎸🎵

[@LONGCASTLE777]

Thanks

[@siepip]

Praying for both of you

[@kevincarter2890]

HEY..EASY ON HOTTIE......THE CARTER FAMILY...THE HOOTIE BEE LONG SR FANCLUB

[@tloveles14]

What is your favorite set of strings

[@richardhobbs9768]

Johnny--Love your videos and playing. I need to replace the horn in my 90s SWR Basic Black with a 15. What did you get to replace the horn in your SWR? Not sure of the impedence, I believe its a 4 inch horn.

[@latonyahemingway3752]

Nice !!

[@csp4454]

Didn't know Smith did bolt-ons

[@LONGCASTLE777]

Yes at the beginning they were called Chuck Rainey then BSR

[@Bigbasssix1972]

Been scared to even watch this...

[@LONGCASTLE777]

See u lived

[@rachetvcg5573]

Man you NEED to try a Laurus, it's an handmade bass built in Italy. Hands down the best instrument i ever tried, literally the Stradivari of bass

[@haroldkellermier5502]

Bass going to snatch your clothes 🙃
