Conklin 5-string

 

    This was my first Conklin, a Boomerang neck-thru-body fretless bass. There are only three like it in the world. This is probably the most bizarre bass I've ever seen, but it plays better than any other fretless I've ever tried.

figured flame maple

Neck;

flame maple & purple heart neck-thro-body,  tilt-back headstock, flame maple fretboard
