I would just like to say that I have 2 "M" series basses. A tiger maple fretted 5 and a walnut fretless 5. I have always prefered the punch of a bolt on. It just feels right to me. Would I ever get a NT? I would never rule it out especially in a 6-7 string. But Ken builds slammin' basses with a choice. He as a luthier realizes that there is more than one way to build a perfect bass.For me BO's are the bomb. For others NT is the deal. Ken offers a choice of monster basses so let's agree to disagree.
