Radius of a Brice

[groucho]

Just got a Brice HXB 5 Fretless for Christmas
I want to order a sanding block to use on it -
anybody know the radius of these?

Link Removed



Looks to be 12 inch

Was also thinking about giving it a gloss nitro coat
(the body)
to bring out the figure of the wood - but not sure
if that is an oiled finish or an satin acrylic on this baby.

I'd say 12 also, or about the same as a Precision!

Yes indeed they are
But they said they'd have to get back to me on that
which I found surprising
I guess not many people ask!

I was having setup problems initially and emailed them
about an exchange/return - they were totally nice,
but only after a few emails did they mention this bass
has a double action truss rod
Which is unusual in this price class
Once I knew that - setup was a do-able.

I suggested they include more bass wonk /geek info
on their webpages to make their (and our) life easier.
Like: radius of neck, type/composition of finish,
composition of the nut etc.

I would LUV a Brice Z5 in Trans Green - a lined fretless
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Got a reply from Rondo - Radius is 13...Not as easy to find a block for!
