Hey guys what fretboard is on this BT5 string?

What $$$ do you think Ken would charge to replace the fretboard with a gaboon ebony?

Hmmm, it won't be cheap, however, I would suggest you contact Ken on that one. I gotta tell ya, given the condition of this bass, I wouldn't do it.

A guy from Germany, via the Alembic Forum, contacted me within the last couple of months. He wanted it bad and we worked out an acceptable price, so, I decided it was better to let it go to someone who would make music with it vs. having it continue to sit in my closet and not be used. It is a one-of-a-kind and just a beautiful piece of work, however, the feel of the neck was not for me and I am not a fan of Alembic's "Signature Electronics". Plus, the Smiths just feel better in my hands, so, adios Seismic Bass!
