What would you do? (Custom Builds)
What would be your ideal build today for your new Smith bass? What wood combos would you use knowing what you know now? What type of music are you playing?
I have not had much experience with Smith basses at this point, I am working on getting my second right now..... BUT........ Ideally, I would have a downsized CR body (Im 5'6) Rosewood top/ Mahogany core/maple neck with ebony laminates/Ebony board/Soaps. At least thats the fare for right now.... I think you see where Im going? post your favorite builds here! as well I would love to hear your Wish Lists? On my wish list would be to bring back the brass control plates found on the very early Smith basses, maybe using 1/4 inch and a XLR outs as well. - Tom |
