As they only build to order, the string spacings on a Sei can be anything that the customer wants.

Personally, I would base your string spacing on the bridge which you want to use.

The big issues are how many strings you are building for, what style you play and of course your personaly preference. Many years ago I spent a couple of days playing every bass in the Gallery before I could fix the spec for my Sei. The hardest part was choosing the string spacing. I have a standard 4 string, but when I played 6 strings with the same spacing they were just too huge to get my hands across. In the end I went with a completely custom spcing, which meant cusatome wound pickups and a one-off BaddAss bridge, But hey, If you;re going to have a bass made to measure you want it right eh??

Mine's 18mm at the bridge, but Martin will build to whatever specs you want, and he will take the time to get from you exactly what you want.
