A 5 string with a Geddy neck?

[Ampegged Paul]

OK...the good news,I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE my Geddy because of its neck. The bad:I would like a 5 string so I can be more versitile. Is there a factory bass out there that has both?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I should be more specific. What I meant was a thin neck similar to a Geddy...not the Geddy neck itself.

You mean a thin, narrow 5 string?

Zon, baby.

Mike Lull can build a V5 with a maple neck, black block inlays, black ash body and white pickguard. He doesn't do the neck binding, but the rest of the bass looks amazingly close to a Geddy Lee J-bass.

I have one strung with Rotos and it's as punchy as Lee's bass.

i dont think it could handle it....

I would also be interested in a five string neck with similar dimensions as the GL jazz, preferably without going custom.

Did he stop offering binding? Here are a couple of Lull's w/ blocks and binging:

Of the 5 string basses I've tried there aren't many with a really thin neck like a Geddy.

Maybe a Lakland. Some graphite necked basses were nice and thin, Modulus, Zon. You can look at Ibanez basses. Sadowsky Metro necks are pretty slim but the Lakland was slimmer.
