Recommendation for 4-String Neck Thru with 24 Frets Basses?

[Gare Boo]

Is there any neck thru basses with 24 frets that you guys recommend? I prefer a very skinny neck with 4 strings, 5 is ok too. Thanks!

 

[Gare Boo]

Oh and lighter the better too, playing a bass over 10lbs is a nightmare to me lol

Probably a Schecter or Spector really. They are lighter than MM/Sterling. Ibanez make some great necks for their basses too and they're light but most are bolt on unless you get a premium.

Hey thx for the reply. Which Ibanez tho? Most SR Premiums I've seen are Bolt on

Ritter makes some nice basses that are neck through 24 frets with pretty skinny necks. Most of them are around 8 pounds. Definitely check them out!

Kiesel has been building very nice neck-thrus for 40 years or more

A notion of budget would help.

If it weren’t for your weight limit my first recommendation would be a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 or 2, but mine is 10.5 lbs.

If you’re not opposed to headless and your budget allows then for a light weight bass it’s tough to beat the Strandberg.

The LB series or even the ICON series Basses from Carvin/Keisel....The necks are great and for the price you will save a buck or two.

If you can find an Ibanez sr900.. excellent basses..
The new Jackson Spectra x series are fantastic!

Did the OP give us a budget? I was reading quickly so I didn't see it.

If the bass has to be new...

ESP's LTD B4-E is a good option under $1000. I like LTD basses: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

If the budget is under $1500 for a new bass, perhaps the Schecter SLS Elite will fit the bill: Invalid Link Removed

If the budget is under $2000, you can spec out a nice Kiesel Icon: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (although, yes, it is possible to go nuts and go over that $2000 threshold.) If weight is an issue, I believe a chambered body is an option.

If we're talking $2500 and up, then the world is your oyster. Like others have said, browse the TalkBass classifieds. Thar be gold in them there hills! And since many of us are old coots whose backs aren't what they used to be, most of the classifieds do mention instruments' weight.
