[G] [N] Hi, I'm Jody with Base Club Chicago and today I'm going to be demoing the Ken Smith VSR5GN.
As you can see it's got a gorgeous quilt top on it with a walnut core.
It has the matching headstock to go with it.
It has a five piece neck that goes through the body.
And you can see the quilted maple on the back of the base as well.
It's got gold hardware.
It has the brass nut that is 1 3 quarters.
24 fret ebony fretboard.
It's got the brass bridge, brass nut, and the Ken Smith pickups and EQ.
The controls are volume, [E] pan, treble, bass, and mid.
And then you'll also notice these two switches [F] here and those are to run your pickups in parallel or series.
And you also have push-pull active passive.
I'm just going to go through some different bass grooves and different settings on the EQ so you can get a better sense of what this bass sounds like.
I'll start with the EQ with our bass completely passive and we'll go from there.
Here we go.

[N] Now I'll turn my active system on and we'll see how that changes our tone.
