I am always loaded with questions on the specs of instruments...lots of questions!

I have the opportunity to get a real nice aftermarket Steve Bailey fretted jazz bass, and I want my guy to do a fretless conversion on it. So my questions are:

- Is the ebony fingerboard on the SB fretted model the same grade and spec as the fingerboard on the SB fretless?

- Is the preamp tweaked to bump the mids on the fretless model?

- Can I find a close-up picture of the bridge - the so-called CVM, convertible modular bridge.



Thank you !

I like the Fender SRB6 a lot and wanted to see it in 4 and 5-string versions like its Aria Pro II little cousins, upgraded with Steve's signature Seymour Duncan BassLines "fundamental fretless" humbucking Jazz Bass pickups.

The Fender SRB4 will become Carol Kaye's favorite axe for sure, since she regularly used an AVB-SB4 live and in the studio.

I've seen a very rare picture of that legendary "bass mistress" jamming with Steve during a NAMM show in the the mid-1990s.

It appears that Carol is actually fooling around a cherry red sunburst Ibanez SR400 these days, though she occasionally uses an Ibanez Andy Timmons AT300 with a DiMarzio AT1 humbucker in the bridge and two Cruiser stack humbuckers in the neck and the middle positions.
