Ricks are thinner than Fenders ... but Parker Fly basses may be the thinnest.

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

I'm fascinated with the idea of a neck through bass that remains only as thick as the neck, but that would require custom pickups and electronics. But it would be so sexy...

| | | For a slab body I think the Ric 4004 Laredo might be the thinnest. This isn't mine - I grabbed the pic off eBay. I've owned a 4004 but got rid of it years ago. This one is really nice but at over 2K it's staying where it is.  |
