Freddie Washington recently toured with "The Crusaders" in Japan using his new KSD 60’s 5-String and 70’s
5-string. He also had some time to lay down some tracks with his new KSD's. Freddie uses Ken Smith Masters
Series or Burner Series Bass Strings on his KSD's as well. Freddie Washington, a long time Ken Smith player enjoyed playing the KSD
for the first time at the Brooklyn Gear
/ Ken Smith NAMM booth in Anaheim 2003. Freddie said, “At this point in my life I don’t need
any new basses but these (KSD’s) I
like”. After the NAMM Show, Freddie called and spoke to Ken personally and
expressed his interest in the 70's 5-string model that he played while
performing with Marcus Miller and Richard Bona in a three way Bass Jam
sponsored by EBS, Brooklyn Gear, and Ken Smith Basses.
