SOLD! The CR & BSR bolt-ons are my favorite Smith basses simply because the tone and responsiveness are unmatched. No, it's not a budget thing because I feel that playability is more important than just good looks. But there's no shortage of good looks here! The solid quilt maple body wings and matching headstock are proof of that. The Smith J pickups and 9-volt preamp offer one of the most recognizable tones out there. This one has gold hardware, weighs just 9 lbs and comes with the original Smith teardrop case.
