A "I built it myself" walnut P Bass with J pickups. An inlaid figured maple pickguard. Warmoth neck, pau ferro finger board. (Hundreds of hours of work with the most minimal of wood working tools.)
Click thumb nail for bigger photo. (After 4 years, still can figure out how to post big photos on TB!)

You have to import your photos into a website such as Photobucket.com (it's free) which then creates the correct addresses for you to export your pictures into TB. It's not hard to do, costs you nothing (but time), and results in the large format photos you see all the time here. No more alloted space restrictions! Check it out ...

The woods were chosen by me, thought mahogany and walnut was a fairly common choice for body woods in a bass? |

Pretty skinny but it works for me and my short/skinny fingers...
8.5 mm at the nut, 15 mm at the bridge. My guess is that it's Karl's standard 4 string neck with the bridge/nut set up for a 5er.
Neck width at the nut is 1.75" (45 mm approx).
