Details

I had played fenders for years. Wanted to get a 5 string - but the necks were just too wide to be able to play comfortably. So I made my own - I have converted a 4 string to a 5 string and it is awesome.

I have done several of these. This one doesn't get used as much so trying to sell it before I part it out.

Took a Squier CV Fiesta Red body. Really just one mojo ding, sanded off some of topcoat. Looks awesome.
Reloaded with Fender 59 Custom shop pickups.
Replaced bridge with 16.5mm spacing 5 string bridge. This bridge spaces 5 strings perfectly across 4 string neck.
Took Squier VM precision neck. Patched and recut the nut. Added another tuner peg.
Thats pretty much it. Set up with Chromes. It is now a lightwight, easy playing, great sounding 5 string bass.

A 5 string Pino!

I tried 5 strings across a 4 pickup (emg) and did not work for me. Is yours even sound across all the strings.

thanks

Did I sell you that body? Still regret that. In fact a week ago I bought another Fiesta red to try a 5-string conversion.

Would this neck compare in size to a lower end Peavey or Ibanez 5? Or more narrow still?

Can't answer that. I can't imagine it is narrower than an ibanez
It's narrow but comfortable

My body is still in the "workshop", awaiting a proper neck...
I switched to medium scale, so it'll be a while.
