5 string P-bass with a 1 & 3/4 nut?

[Joelc73]

Just curious if anyone knows of a p style five with a 1 & 3/4 nut width and 17-18mm bridge spacing?

Was thinking about dropping a P pickup into a Stingray 5 — but that seems like an expensive experiment! LOL

Thanks!

Is scale length a consideration for you? I think the Schecter P-5 has the specs you want for the nut width and spacing, but it's 35" scale.

P-5

Thanks. 34" would be my max. Shorter would be ok too…

I think Yamaha BB435 are 1.7" but not sure about spacing at the bridge.

Nice looking bass!

Nino Valenti can build you one, I got a lefty Verrazzano T21-P5 from him. Amazing bass.

The 5 strings are 18mm at the bridge. And they have nicer ones as well: BB735A and BBP35.

Those Yamahas look sweet!

Warmoth can get you parts that fit that description.

LTD AP-5 has 45mm nut, which is 1.77in according to Google, don't know the bridge spacing though. It's a PJ style though, not sure if that counts for you.

Ibanez Mezzo has a 32" scale five that is 45mm at the nut, with 18 mm string spacing. I've only played one a couple times. (a friends) It is a solid, well playing, good sounding bass. All that and easy on the wallet. They list for $379.99.

I see where you're going and I get your work-around.
You can try the less-expensive Used Ray35 option… it'll save you at least a grand, and not really have to work around the original idea.

Nice looking bass!

Bridge spacing is changed by changing the bridge. Don't worry about that one.

@Joelc73 my search for a P5 ended with the BB735A 1.7"/1 11/16"/43mm nut, ~18mm string spacing.
