Basses With Thin Fast Necks?

[Ant_On_Bass]

Hi all i was just wondering what basses you guys have played that have had a thin fast necks and great action? i bought a rig off of a friend a few years back and he chucked in an Aria IGB-49 for free, and turned out i actually really liked and still like playing this bass, so much so that i sold my warwicks, Although the tone isn't as good as some of the high end basses i do enjoy playing it:-)

So i was just interested to see what other basses people have played that have a thin neck, fast, great tone and great to play? :-)

Fender Jazz

Ibanez SR range. Stupidly skinny, like a matchstick.

[tedmanzie]

Fender Geddy Jazz has a famously thin (front to back) neck.
I had one, it played like a dream

I got a few Jazzes and all a little different. The narrowest across the nut is a '71, the shallowest thro the section is '66, the smallest all round is a 1982 Fullerton '62 re-ish that all round is the next smallest thing to sliver of... nothing; dead fast, and slicker than snot on a door handle.

What if the snot had been there for a few days and dried out?

[Jigster]

Wal Pro 1 - smooth and thin

I'll 2nd the Ibby SR. Makes the other's feel like baseball bats.
The higher end SoundGear range can cover just about any sound you want.

Ibanez SoundGear gets my vote as well.

Depends what state of dryness. Fresh stuff is real slick. Mid life is a bit tacky. Bone dry stuff gives you that polished dance floor kind slickness.

Thank you, I can sleep easy tonight knowing that

I don't like a jazz nut or the Ibanez either really, I do like a thin neck depth wise but narrow nut widths don't do it for me. I'd still play a whole gig on one,I do have a jazz, but overall I prefer a bit of meat.

[Dingus]

If you prefer a mucus - free finish on your Jazz Bass neck , the USA Lakland Joe Osborn necks are super fast with a fantastic worn -in feel and a very slender profile directly and very exactly copied from Joe's original 1960 Fender prototype .

My old Peavey Millenium had the thinnest neck ive ever played

[Kev]

Find yourself an old Warwick Streamer SS1, i hear the new 2013 models have gone skinny too

[TheGreek]

Nearly everything I still own - can't stand a fat neck - probably one of the best I've played is a Status Kingbass..

[Schnozzalee]

Kubicki Basses, although, I do tend to think fat neck basses have better tone - my hands are too small though, so I play fat neck guitars

[PURPOLARIS]

Both my SR Prestiges, 4 and 5 string have great thin necks.

My Ibanez Soundgear does just about that.

+1 for the Status Kingbass neck. i haven't tried my Status Jazz neck yet (still need to get a body for it)

[Grangur]

My Ibanez EDB has a really fast, slim neck too.. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198472-fs-ibanez-edb600-jazz-cw-hardcase-near-mint-price-drop/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198472-fs-ibanez-edb600-jazz-cw-hardcase-near-mint-price-drop/page__fromsearch__1[/url]



Was that subtle enough?

[Black Coffee]

Geddy lee jazz. Thin and fast. Dream to play.

[molan]

Don't come a lot thinner than a Sadowsky Will Lee - even narrower nut than a vintage Fender!
