P bass necks that are thin/flat front to back?

[nonohmic]

These dimensions are typically not listed, and it's hard to parse through all the posts and get a clear answer.

What say you, which P basses have necks that have a shallow neck profile front to back? C or D shaped, or otherwise.

thanks!

The only one I saw was on a Samick p bass from the 80's.

I think it was made in Korea and surprisingly, this neck was perfect in every way and straight.

I thought the Fender Elite from about 10 years ago were very nice, and the Ultra series necks.

My made in China Squier Classic Vibe Precision neck feels very slim, more like a Jazz. Great neck and definitely thinner than most Fender P necks I’ve played.

The American Specials from about 12 or 13 years ago had very thin necks.

My Lull P4, compared to my parts bass with a '73 P neck, is thinner front to back.

If pointy headstocks aren’t an issue, I think a Charvel B1 would fit the bill. “Charvel by Jackson” logos command a price more than they’re probably worth, but toothpaste logo models don’t seem quite as desirable.

Which is what the Lull is based on.

My new Fender Vintera II Road Worn 60s Precision Bass is fairly thin front to back. Definitely thinner than my Fender Am Pro II P bass and Fender Tony Franklin Fretless P bass.

Original run China Squier Classic Vibe 60’s Precision . This is why I keep buying them.

Fender American Specials with that grease bucket circuits. I believe they came in White, Black, Red, and satin Honey Burst.

Back in the late 80s before I knew anything about bass guitars, I bought a parts bass. It was about 8 years later that I found out it was a June 1962 P neck on a 1967 P body.

The '62 neck is thin and flat front to back.

My 1960 P has a very flat profile front to back. Pretty much the opposite of an early 70's P.

My Lull P4, compared to my parts bass with a '73 P neck, is thinner front to back.

I've heard this about Lull's. I wonder if it still is true.

Ah that's good to know.

Thanks that's good to know. Those are a good price point too.

fender might call them "slim style" front to back
g&l from the early to mid 80s, but it wouldn't be on a P it would be on an L series
ESP from the early 90s, but it would probably be on a PJ

If you don't find what you are looking for, Warmoth can easily make a thin P bass neck for you. Parts basses can be anything you want them to be.

My early '68 Fender P is pretty thin front to back. I have a 2023 Fender japan Heritage 60s p-bass that is nearly the same.

I have a first year, 1982 Fender '62 reissue that has the thinnest neck, front to back that I have ever seen or felt. I think it's a C shape. And I have the Lulls and all that other stuff to compare to; I've just never came across a neck like this.
