Ken Smith for me, i actually just came to that conclusion
recently after 24 years of bouncing around on different basses....
played everything i could get my hands on.
nothing in the world feels as good to me as the heel on an nt smith.
best action i ever had was on a smith.
hoping to get my mitts on one again next year.

Alembic and Status, of the stuff I've tried.

I'd be interested in trying a Dingwall, an F bass, a Benevente Vortex, a Nordstrand, a Stambaugh or a Smith based on appearance and reputation.
