Would you change a Smith?

I almost had the problem with the headstock - but the problem was really the other musician standing too close to me.

Last night, the guitarist kept standing too close - so I put the headstock about one-inch from his nose. He stepped back.

No problems with my Smith7-string bass. None.

LOL - Hey Christopher, that's the spirit! The other musicians better start watching out. I love the "one-inch from the nose" technique.

I would change the string spacing to 16mm like on the Burner Basses. For light touch, fingerstyle playing it is so comfortable. There is absolutely no way a US made Smith Bass could be ordered with 16mm string spacing??

No, not at this time. It would be a totally new design. Neck Jigs, custom pickups, New Bridge, etc.

Sleek Elite in Japan is making a re-issue Burner model now in 16mm and it's very high quality.
