Had a Ken Smith with a real nice figured maple top:'The Most Beautiful Bass In The World'(there are still photos @ Luthiers Access)- had to sell it to finance my Stambaugh:'The Most Beautiful Bass Of All Time'. My wife calls that one the 'End of the World Bass', but she also thinks it's the last one I'll ever buy. She's nuts...

My friend named my fretless "Duncan" for me. I asked for a name like a male jazz singer would have (I can coax this amazing deep, warm sound similar to Mr. Sinatra out of it) so she came up with Duncan.

My fretted bass remains unnamed. I have lost my love for it -- it's got frets .
