Owen Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have just bought a 6 string with a neck so wide I could park a car on it. Of course, it is too wide for my normal stand. What do people use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I haven’t got a really wide necked bass, so I use the drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I like wide necks, for ironing. 😁 Back to the tracks, I really love wide necks (real) ERB's, I mean at least 6 strings basses, with 20 mm strings at the bridge and 9 to 11 mm at the nut, and that from the day I bought my first Noguera ERB 8 strings with that strings spacing, which is soooo wide I could park a truck on it. They are, to me, easier to play than the narrow strings spacing ones. I also like long scales from 34 to 36 inches, or the double bass 3/4 or 4/4 scale for ... double bass. But I'm quite tall and large. Now, I'm in the process of selling all my narrow strings spacing basses and shorter than 34 inches scale. And for these wide necks basses, I use a standard Hercules stand on which I've widened the neck rest by pulling both parts.
