Sounds great Don. If I ordered a Smith, I'd probably get almost the exact same specs (except fretless)...love maple, walnut, and ebony. Just curious, did you consider getting parallel switches? Or is that not an option with the new pre? Looking forward to seeing pictures!

Cheers,
Marshall

:help: Ok.. Hi "C".. the String and not the Drink... Got it..

BT Body?.. That's news to me.. Please confirm as I made the Wings already in the BSR. Nothing in your Email indicates a BT. It just says 5M.. Not CR5M..

Pics?.. As soon as I know what we are making, and have something to show, You can come over and take all the pics you like. Too many buttons to figure out for me..lol

Whew.. and I thought we had a problem.. Either way, it's not too late to change it. I can use the Body Wings for another model/bass down the road. Get what what you want if it matters. I just thought you preferred the balance of the BSR over our Vintage BT model. Just let me know asap b4 we actually make the Bolt-on Body. In Wing form, I can use it for several models.. Really.. No problem either way on my end.
