I once ordered a 19mm spaced 5 string custom bass from a known luthier. Upon completion I double checked and I was told the bridge has 17.5mm (or 18).
I insisted that I get what I ordered and a 19mm bridge was installed. What I didn't know was that the whole bass was built around the original spacing. Very bad result! No longer have that bass. |

It was NOT a Ken Smith bass.
I'm actually very sorry that I didn't order one from you back then (1999). I'm good now though |

ok..
Just trying to point out that what you got was not something that would make a Luthier 'known' as you stated. Maybe infamous for backwards thinking at best. I can't imagine any professional trying to 'fudge' something as obvious as that and then selling it.

18mm vs. 19mm: EOF Width
Greg, the 18mm Smith 5-String does measure 3 inches wide at the end of fretboard. The 19mm Smith 5-String measures 3.25 at the end of the fretboard.
