Smith fretless II
Hello again ...
I insist on the fretless issue .... I wish someone indicate me timbers are best suited to build a fretless? Woods neck and body woods ... It is important a particular type of wood or wood being all quality does not matter? They must be dense? Ken, I'd like to get your opinion .... Thanks |

Definitely best to email or call Ken as there are a lot of variables depending on your goals wrt sound, weight, appearance, etc.

This bass is spectacular. Walnut over alder.

It looks like there is no radius on the fretboard? Was that an option on the fretless?

Plenty of radius. See one in person and measure it.

That's a bit of a problem I'm afraid.

Afraid to measure one?

Absolutely not! But it's very frustrating wanting to try one of these beautyfull basses, and not to succeed.
I've contacted several big musicstores in my country and also the importer of Ken Smith basses overhere. With no result. So I have to wait with a measurement untill I spot one in the flesh. |
