Bass necks
 

Is there a bass with a thinner neck than a Peavey Fury II Bass? Just curious and if so how much

The thinnest neck (mass manufactured) basses I can think of a Ibanez soundgears.....

Have you Tried a Fury II Bass the neck on the one I have is thinner than some regular Guitars
and Which Soundgears

have not tried the Ibanez neck or the peavey fury II neck my first bass was a peavey fury but I imagine that’s different from the bass you are talking about the neck felt somewhat like a baseball bat if that is any comparison life is like a piano what you get out of it depends on how you play it

The Soundgear series is by far the thinnest I've ever played. I think models SR300 and up have thin necks. Not sure about the prestige or premium series and I know there GSR series aren't real thin.

As a result of being that thin, they do have more of a tendency to be touchy with temperature changes.

Old Mosrite basses had extremely thin necks, mostly due to a very small taper; the spacing was very narrow at the bridge. The same is true for a lot of older Hofner and Hagstrom basses.

I've never experienced any issues. I own a SR505 and a SR755 both thin identical necks and I've never had to do anything expect for changing to different strings. I live in hot dry Phoenix too...:cool:

I play Ibanez basses for one main reason and that is the neck size... I find ti much easier... as far as I know every SR model from SR250 up to the prestige's are as follows...

Width at nut: 38mm
Width at last fret: 62mm
Thickness at first: 19.5
Thickness at twelfth: 21.5mm
Radius: 305mmR

and this is for 4 strings, not 5 or above, its a little different for those.

I own four Soundgears and have had no problems with neck movement whatsoever. I've yet to have to adjust one a second time after I do the initial setup.

Recently I played a 1200 series Soundgear and it was a little thicker than all the other SRs I've played. Not sure why.

The Soundgears that I have seen this in are mostly clients that frequently travel to different states and out of the country gigs, which is why I refer to temperature change..... I used to own one that was somewhat touchy from a cold winter to hot summer, touchier than some other brands, which I would deduce was the thickness of the wood.

Some Schecters are quite thin as well.

I own a Peavey Grind. It is by far the most thin neck I have ever felt. I have to be actively conscious of keeping a light grip, otherwise I'll accidentally pull the neck straight.

The early 90's Peavey Palaediums (the Jeff Berlin model) had thinner necks than the Ibbys, and they are very nice bases. I remember my Pilot having a very thin neck, but that is going back a while now.

Ibanez Soundgears and Esp Ltd B and F series are thinnist necks I know of. Very nice instruments to btw.

Do you mean front-to-back or across the nut?

I've got a couple of Jazz Basses with very narrow nut widths, but one is still kind of fat from front-to-back.

Im talking about overall for neck thickness lanevo

I think it depends - the multi-ply necks like the sr505, 605, 655, 755, 905, and 3005 are all extremely stable, IME - but the sr405 and 535 necks, not so much... I had a gorgeous sr535 that played and sounded great, but it's neck wasn't stable at all - so I got rid of it... On the other hand, my sr905 has one of the most stable necks I've ever owned...

My SR500PB feels thin, and dandy.

Soundgears are the thinnest I've felt. My trusty old Heartfield DR4 is the second thinnest.
