Please recommend me basses with thick necks

[ihaveaquestion]

This is an image from a classifieds site of a Warwick Rockbass Corvette.
I would like some recommendations of basses with similar neck profiles with the maximum
price of 600 dollars.

Before we talk about necks you need to restring your bass.

This:

is a problem.

Not at all
i think that neck is a little chunkier than a jazz bass
but not sure, sometimes pics dont reflect the correct dimensions

It's not mine

Thanks, mobdirt. Is the Jazz bass the chunkier you know?

No not at all my bad in fact
you should definitely check out a P bass they have the chunky necks especially if you get the road worn series

..sorry for the confusion
jazz basses have "skinny" necks

Stingrays are pretty thick

Thanks, Cardiff Giant and mobdirt, i'll look these up. Not that i don't know these models but neck profile is so overlooked that i couldn't find out if they were thick or not

My 80s MIJ Fender P bass has a chunky neck. I can't speak to the comparison between it and the Warwick.

Warwicks. Round like baseball bat

Yep. A used Corvette (German made) is in your price range.

I searched and found a 1986 PJ that seems to to be what i'm looking for in thickness, thanks

I'm kinda afraid of buying a Warwick bass because i've read in a thread here that since 2009 they have been doing a skinnier neck. And i live in a tiny city, so i don't have many options for testing

The thickest neck I've ever played was on a Hagstrom Swede bass. They're worth looking into!

Warwicks are also thick as heck.

anytime
check the nut width, that usually gives a good idea and if the companies give the radius of the neck one can guess quite close to what type a neck is, hope this helps.
