BGroovy Supporting Member Jul 15, 2008 2,578 7,724 Denver, CO Mar 3, 2025 those elite necks are definitely wide enough for 5 strings! Widest Fender made to my knowledge.
Blackbird Supporting Member Mar 18, 2000 11,276 876 California Mar 3, 2025 You're right. It does not feel cramped even though there is an extra string.
jeffmaccora Jan 27, 2003 379 455 Los Angeles, California www.instagram.com Mar 22, 2025 Where are you in California? I actually made a 5 string jazz bass with a 83 p neck - pretty much the same idea. Modeled after my experience with a BB5000.

Blackbird Supporting Member Mar 18, 2000 11,276 876 California Mar 27, 2025 Got a question about the string spacing, so I'll post it here also. 16mm at bridge 9.1mm - 1 cm @ nut. Thanks.

Blackbird Supporting Member Mar 18, 2000 11,276 876 California Apr 5, 2025 Good question. I don't know. I have not attempted to remove it. I didn't mention the tuners as I thought people would be able to tell.
