Hi All,
I ordered my second Kingbass last week, an Artist with no bendwell and 19mm string spacing. The thing is, I'm now thinking if I've made the right choice regarding the 16.5mm string spacing/bendwell etc. (...)
String spacing is a very personal thing. Some people like 16.5mm other 19mm. Either way, I don't see it a critical issue. It is quite easy to adapt either way. I have big hands and a 19mm KB. I can play 16.5mm KB without any problem.
I think the presence of the bendwell is much more important. In my experience, because of the unusual balance, a 34" KB can be quite difficult to play.
