I am thinking of putting my Ken Bebensee Deuce six string fretless on the block. This has been a fantastic bass since I custom ordered it in the late 90's. A couple of years ago I had Ken do a couple of modifications to it, including shaving the neck thinner on the treble side and making wood pickup covers for the Barts. I am still trying to figure a price, but it will probably be in the high $2k region on up. As some of you know, the wait times for Ken's instruments can be years. It's been quite a while since I've gone over the specs of this bass, but I will list as much as I can recall:
•Woods: Laminated purple heart and I think either cherry or walnut with walnut or cherry back body wings and lacewood front face wings. Ebony fingerboard with no lines
•Dots: Brass side dots including first fret
•Scale length: 35.25"

•Tuners: Sperzel locking
