There really is no "standard" for 5 string basses. I have several custom made 5 strings and the heel width (@ 21st fret) is 2.7" (whatever that converts to in mm).

But, I like narrow necks, so this number will be larger for models that have 19mm spacing or 18mm at the bridge. I use 17mm, if that helps.

Well, you did not say FENDER in your first post...

Besides, even Fender has used different widths. I have a Jazz Plus V neck that is 2.8". Some newer ones are 2.9". Other models have used different dimensions as well. Like I said, there is no standard. It depends on the model.
