What High End 5'rs Have a 1-5/8 or Smaller Nut

I have small hands and like playing 5 string basses, but my area does not stock any of the high end bass that are out there. I am talking from between 2-3K in the new or used department.

I would like to have one very nice bass. Not interested in anything that has jazz pups at all. I like humbuckers.

Ibanez necks are thin and narrow, and the Prestige models are super nice.

EBMM SR5's have 1 6/8" Pretty close. Plus their Humbuckers are 2nd to none.

You didn't specify a price range so I'm not sure if this is too much but my PRS is both humbuckers and a 1.75" nut.

BeSharp,

Are you speaking of the older models or the new ones?

I guess that all other brands that are in this range have a wider neck at the nut!

Carvin 5'ers have 1.75" nut widths. A little wider than your stated limit, but not by much. And a totally custom Carvin will cost a grand less than your specified price range.
