Who besides Warwick and Spector make curved back basses? I love the way a concave back contours to my...uhh...portliness 
What I'm looking for is a 5 string with 18 or 19mm spacing, concave back, in the $1000 neighborhood. I'm not avoiding Warwick or Spector, it just seems they don't offer those specs in my price range. If they do, please show me!! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Wilkes-Barre, PA | | | The Aerodyne does have a curved back, but it's the wrong way. I think what the op os asking is carved inward (for a gut to fit), not bulging out (like a round back which allows the instrument to rock on the gut) |

Well since we're here, I eventually lucked up on a Spector USA NS-5 with wide spacing at an incredible price. It's has become my soul mate
