Details

I hate to let this one go, definitely my dream bass but I've now learned that a p-bass neck doesn't work for my hands. Buyer pays actual shipping cost with insurance.

Purchased April of 2022 Fender Custom Shop 58' Relic Precision bass NAMM Showcase piece in Faded Aged Chocolate 3-color burst. The full specs are in the pics, this bass is in the same brand-new condition as when I got it. It's never been gigged out on, has all the case candy and original box. Please contact me in regard to shipping, depending on where you are located, I might be able to split the cost with you.

Nut width?

That's a gorgeous bass. I'm 99.99% certain that it's C width/1-3/4".

It's striking to me how often I see these FCS late '50s P basses come up for sale here for same stated reason.

Very typically they're C width nut, soft V, .99" @ 1st fret, and 9-1/2"R fretboard which all adds up to a very fat handful.

I believe it's this combo of .99" @ 1st with 9-1/2"R on these '50s FCS P basses that's the heart of the problem for those who don't have big hands. Flatter fretboards increase how far fingers need to stretch to reach across the neck.

An actual pre-CBS '57 or '58 would have a 7-1/4"R and would most likely be profiled to .95" to .88" front to back, at the 1st. That may not seem like much but it's ergonomically significant.

By '59 P bass necks were made more commonly closer to .82" @ 1st fret with 7-1/4"R. That's a big change.

Yep, on board with that statement. I can handle a a 1 inch or larger neck as long as its a 1.625 or 1.5 A/B neck with a 9.5 radius. Incredible 50s P's in the classifieds right now, 1.75 is not for me..

I have small hands. The biggest neck I can handle is C width, soft V, .88" at 1st, 9-1/2"R. 7-1/4"R would be better.

The thing about Fender Custom Shop bass necks, unless full master build with a more customized neck, is they're all either .99", .95" or ."79 @ 1st fret; streamlined specs.

Perhaps the soft V could be shaved down a hair at the Fender shop. This isn't difficult to do. Just a thought.
