SX 5 string

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone have a SX 5 string bass? I would like to find out what the neck specs are. I purchased a neck for a project bass, but need the dimensions to rout the neck cavity. Appreciate any info you may provide.

I've already have the neck so I know the width, just not sure of the depth and length of the neck cavity. I know what Warmoth shows for their Deluxe 5, but are those dimensions standard for 5's?

I'm probably going to reroute a 4 string Pbass body to handle this neck.

there is no staandard for 5 string. fing the center of the neck, put a centerline on a piece of mdf, line the center of the neck, with the center line on mdf and draw, and cut as accuately as possible. position it so that the 12th fret and the end of the strap button are alligned. btw, the scale of the neck, and the body (relative to the bridge placement) are the same right?
