Peavy Grind 5 String Spacing

[J Posega]

Got an offer for a Peavey Grind NTB 5-string in trade, and I'm kind of considering it, but I cannot for the life of me find the info I'm looking for.

What's the string spacing at the bridge? 18 or 19mm? Any smaller and I just can't do it, although I might be able to pawn it off on my brother. Also, what's the nut width?

I've been spoiled by my BTB and Squier 5 that have flat, wide necks, I guess, so I'm leery of getting another 5 that I might not end up liking.

The spacing is more around the 17mm- 16.5mm ballpark. The new Grind basses are pretty good. They have their share of superficial problems (all of which, can be fixed). The instrument (body & neck) has a really good "ring" to it. The pickups & electronics actually dub down a bit of what is really going on with the strings & wood. I would recommend the following for anyone who buys a Grind....Well; buy the thing first! THEN, take it to a pro instrument tech or luthier & have the frets leveled, crowned, dressed & polished. Have them put new strings on it & give it a good setup. From there, you can improve the sonic character of these basses by having an active preamp installed. It gives you much more flexability...especially in the treble response. You could even swap out the pickups. The foundation of these basses is solid. Great construction.
