Basses with shortest/closest string spacing?

[JimmyM]

Take a hint from Joey DeMaio of Manowar and get one made or adapted to your string spacing needs:

The Hofner necks are very thin with close string spacing. Don't remember if it was the 62 or 63 that had the chunky necks. I believe all of the CTs are skinny and thin.
The Gretsch Junior Jet. is also thin with close spacing. Just a hair wider than the Hofners.
Good luck

get a scaller roller bridge (and there are some other bridges) if you want to adjust your string spacing.

What about those Fender Pawn Shop VI basses?

Also the Fender BASS VI is 30" scale and strings close together ~ .312"

I know this is an old thread, but gotta say that I have the Junior Jet - the bridge is a standard Fender 2.25". I also had a Hofner which indeed was narrower, under 2"

Ibanez SR500. Steinberger basses have very narrow string spacing too.
