Born 2B Mild Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 In toggling between my basses last night, I realised that some were classic, 'C' shaped necks and one (my BB415) seemed much more 'D' shaped. I realised I liked the flatter, thinner feel, compared to the deeper 'C' necks. I use mostly 5 string basses, and aspire to adding a six string bass again. So, I'm tentatively GASsing about acquiring a quality 5 string with a 'D' neck. So, what brands/models are out there that have such necks?

Fraktal Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Ibanez SR500-505-506 have the thinnest necks I have played so far, plus pretty woods and very good electronics. You should try one in case you havent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Status. Especially the older ones. Almost oblong in profile & amazingly comfortable to play for hours on end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 U.S Masters basses are quite flat at the back, espcially towards the dusty end... Still don't seem to be many around over here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to come to the bash but its quite a trek as I dont have a car unfortunately. My mum lives in Harrogate though, so I'll see what i can do!
