Narrow space Precision type 5 string

[azureblue]

Alas, after owning it since it was new, my first gen Yamaha BB5000's string spacing has become too narrow for me to play. I am playing a 65mm / 2 1/2" JJ type bass and I like its spacing. So is there anything out there in a P or PJ 5, in 65MM spacing? Something maybe similar to my BB, with 22 or 24 frets? Thanks in advance.....

Ibanez?

65mm spacing? That's huge. Most basses are only 18mm-19mm.
Narrow would be 16.5mm-17.5mm and wide would be 19mm-20mm

I think he meant 65mm across all 5 strings? Roughly 16mm spacing.

yep - across all strings ---- 2 1/2" total ----

My Squier PJ is 19mm (wide) spacing. In fact it's the only wide spaced bass I own. But I LOVE the wide spacing on it which is the standard P-bass spacing. Many people seem to want a P-bass with a "jazz neck" which is narrow spacing. I don't even like the jazz neck on my jazz and most definitely would not want it on a P-bass. I think that any P-bass that follows the P-bass tradition rather than a jazz neck thing would have the nice spacing you crave.
