Need to ask... Howd you break the tuning peg?? 😅 

 

 

I like to use right angled cables and the recessed cup output socket didn’t allow some of them to fully engage. So I had the bass upside down, headstock on the floor, trying to see if I could adjust the socket to allow for more cable clearance...I rotated the body a bit to get better access and heard a loud “click”. Looked down to see the clover head of the g string tuner was sitting there on the floor! And that is why I shouldn’t attempt my own bass mods

Electra’s a good basses, yes they are assembled in the East but all final Quality control is done at the ‘Home’ in Germany.

Excellent Customer Service which @CameronJ can confirm.

He had a second hand minimum bass, tuning peg broke on it, he emailed Sandberg and the owner Holger replied personally and they sent out a replacement tuner Free of charge, remember this is their budget range!

To me they are no brainers @dood did a great review on their VS4 Electra, and there are a few around on eBay and gumtree at the moment.

PMT usually have a stock, if you have one near you try one out, then you can decide if you want one second hand

Saw this one for sale in Chichester on Gumtree. Under @Elfrasho's budget and looks like a lot of bass for the money but more importantly has a slimline neck...

A used Jackson or Charvel (they’re not all pointy) would fit the bill, or a R*ck*nb*ck*r copy should be properly skinny too.

Just remembered another bass I had with an uber skinny neck - one of the CIJ Fender Jaguars.

Skim the neck to your profile.

My JV57 Precision is very shallow front to back. Standard nut width I believe but the depth certainly makes it feel slimmer. Westone Thunder 3 or T2 MK 2 have a nice slim neck too.

Couple of SB14s on here now, I seem to remember them having nice and slim necks.  Well within budget.

Peaveys on the left with slim necks include the Fury, Dyna bass and G bass......CiJ Jag deluxe is also very slim
