Ken Smith Basses Presents: Ken's Corner - Episode 9 - Melvin Lee Davis

Woww what a sound ,and it's true no need to eq

Trickfish + Ken Smith = Tone Nirvana.

This one sounds a lot like my Alembic. This fretboard wood does the difference man. Don’t get me wrong I love my BSR, maple with rosewood, it’s enough to get the sound right.

WOW! Sounds better than the Conklin, IMO.🤨🎸👍🏾

Melvin Davis is a "fantastic bassist "...

Excellent!!!

Really enjoying this series of videos; thanks Ken Smith! Stay healthy and keeping working your luthier magic...

Lathon Bass wear hat👍🏼

Great bassist and a better human being. Hard work = achievement.

What brand is this bass?

One of favorite bassist. He has the total package.. In any style..

Not impressed.

That’ was him on bass in “Coming To America” in the iconic “Randy Watson” scene?!? Mind blown!!!🤯🤯🤯

Let me rephrase that....I love Smith basses, just couldn't afford one. Not impressed with the playing.

What an incredible tone!!!!

Ken smith basses- I have to be very honest here. I had no clue about Ken Smith basses until I started spending time with bass players from the black church in the 90's. Every gospel bass player I met who owned a Ken Smith said they were "Blessed Instruments". Not making this up....

This is honestly my first time seeing a bassist do volume swells, it sounds great! Awesome player 🔥

that bass sounds good

Beautiful bass ❤ great player

Mr. Melvin lee Davis i would love to be an understudy if at all possible?

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS AWESOME BASS! BUT SHOW ME THE BASS SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT DEAF ... AND NOT SOLO IMPROVISATIONS ... BUT THE SOUND OF BASS!
BPS - THIS IS THE BOTTOM AND THE FOUNDATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I DON'T HEAR THE BOTTOM ANYWHERE! BASS AND LOW BASS FOUNDATION!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND???
WHAT ARE THESE BASSISTS PLAYING??? - THESE ARE NOT BASSISTS!... BASS SHOULD BE PLAYED IN THE LOW RANGE! NOT SOLO...

Pensar que nunca tendré uno de esos...

I dont know how much wood actually affect on tone on electric bass. But it defenetly sounds BIG!

Incredible tone!!!
