1.875 (47.6 mm) at the nut and not sure of the spacing. Likely 18.5mm or 19mm. Definately not 17mm or anyhing thin. The neck is a big beefy thing with a 9.5" radius. Very comfortable to play. I have small hands and love it.

BOOYAH! SCORE!
I love it, man!
I really like the fatty sound of the P-bass. I think P-bass is short for Phat-a** bass!
That's pretty sweet!
Thanks again folks.. another day and it is here on my lap... I can't wait... It will be the last bass guitar I will ever need, although I said that when I bought the 5 string Fender Jazz, then I said that about the 5 string Peavey Cirrus Custom Shop.. hmmmm addicted to sniffing GAS, perhaps?
Pictures soon to come..

It's here!!!
Amazing.. I may be a bit emotional about it.. but I had a PBass years ago. My dad bought it for me. He saved every penny. I was 14. We were quite poor.. (he also bought my brother a guitar). We lost our home and moved across the country, only to be poorer there. I sold my guitar so that we could have food to eat. My brother did the same. Years pass, I change to a 5 string from 4 string. Of course, no precision 5 strings around, I only discovered that they existed a few weeks ago. I now have replaced what I missed. I have to say that the first PBass allowed my family to survive until we could get back on our feet, thus the emotional and sentimental value. Now, the last 2 years running, I take a guitar of mine, couple it with a little practice amp, and give it away to a kid who's folks are in the same position as we were (I know what it's like to receive nothing for Christmas or birthday and nothing against my parents, because they raised us the best they could). Last Christmas, my candy red squire telecaster and little 15 watt Marshall amp went to an 11 year old girl who's dream is to play guitar like Avril Lavigne (her mom put an ad in a local want ad site looking for a cheap guitar, I answered and told her she could have that set up.) I plan on doing that every year, and if I was a millionaire I would do a lot more. OH well..
Anyways.. here's a couple of pics..

I asked the mother of the 11 year old girl (mom was a single mom who just started a new job, and was very far behind in her bills) to tell her daughter that the gift was from her, and not to tell her that I had anything to do with it. I don't want credit for it. I just want to know that someday, that 11 year old girl will grow up knowing that her mommy loved her, even through tough times, enough to make her dream a reality, or at least off to a good start, and hope that their relationship will be strengthened to weather the storm. Not trying to be a hero or anything... but if I can do something, I should try.
That's really cool...what you did for the kid. I think that the only way you can truly realise how rough life can get is to live through hard times yourself. Silver spooners will never know. I think it's also amazing how much a gesture like that can change someone's outlook for the better. Keep it up and enjoy your bass!!!
That's a cool bass. I wish I liked P's enough to buy one (just because it would look good with my Jazz V).
Enjoy it in good health.

Thank you.. I have a long way to go yet
and Wadge, it would look good beside your Jazz V... I have a Jazz V string myself... both basses are totally different, but vive la difference...
