5'er with a narrow neck.

Musicman Stingray 5 might do it. Also most older Alembics (Spoilers, Series 1 and 2 etc.) came standard with narrow necks, if you have the $$.

 

The best narrow 5 I have had has been the Warwick Infinity SN 5. Great growl, great look, VERY narrow.

 

Ibanez Sr series or any Schecter five string.

 

Rick 4003S/5. Only available on the used market though.

 

the Warwick corvette 5 is very narrow

 

I concur in regard to the Corvette and Ibanez line, excluding the BTB.

 

Yes it is. I never realized how narrow it was until I got my MTD. It's so much easier playing in the higher register on thel ower strings with the warwick. The spacing is perfect in my opinion.

 

From the 5-strings that I have played, I'd say that MTD or Skjold are on the more narrow side (though I have pretty big hands, and they are still comfortable for me - but then again, so is my Fodera).

1) Essex BG205 - Very Narrow
2) Carvin LB75P - Somewhat narrow but rounder.

 

Which MTD? My Kingston was like an aircraft carrier.

 

Absolutely. Really wide, but shallow and tapered neck. 19mm string spacing at the bridge, so if you're looking for narrow, the MTD is not your bass.

 

G&L L5000 if you can find one. The narrowest neck I've played. But G&L only made 400 of them.

 

I would say a Warwick would hav e the narrowest neck for a five or any of their basses. The Geddy Lee jazz has a really small neck but it is only a four string.

 

G&L L-2500

 

Early ESP fivers.

Yamaha BB5000 models.

Those are discontinued, but they're really the narrowest basses i've ever tried.

 

High end ibanez SR

 

This would be my suggestion as well. When the BB5000 was first introduced the neck was a four string neck, only slightly wider than a P bass neck.
The later BB5000 models were significantly wider. It also happens to be a very good sounding bass.

supposed to be very tight spacing
