chocolateman13 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hey there. I am trying to build a 5 string bass, preferably neck through, but i dont know what the mesurements should be. I like the Jazz bass tapper, but where can i go to get some specks on basses whihc i would like to emulate? or, even better, does anyone here know some measurements for a bass neck width at the nut, then the 12th, then 24th. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jabsco Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I dont have a 5 string yet, I have a 4 and a 6 string bass but no five. So i suggust you check out www.fender.com or ibanez.com and look at thier 5 stringers, and they usually have a neck profile and dimensions accompaning all of thier guitars and basses. but my GEUSS is somwhere around 1 3/4'' at nut and 2 7/8'' at last fret (or heel) welcome to the fourms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im not good at this Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 My Spector 5-String: 1and3/4 inches at nut 2and3/8 inches at 12th fret 2and5/8 inches at 24th fret At first, my measurments didnt look right, so i double checked them, and they are pretty close, though not scientific by any means. I just used a metal ruler that i had laying around. But i hope it helps , Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
