For a sec there after looking at the pictures, i thought those were Marleauxs with new logos.

These are MRUSZCZYK basses. Poland production of handmade basses. The slogan is ''from player to player''!

Ibanez SR is the answer. 16.5 mm string spacing at the bridge, slim and thin neck.

Cripes! I can't believe someone plays a Yammy 6 for years and then complains about the neck being a surfboard!

Hint: If you don't want to play a wide neck then don't buy a neck that's so wide! Duh.

PS. Got SR206 and SR506. Both Sweet.

Who played one for 6 years? I had that bass about 6 hours

Haha. well I don't think the amount of time is importnant. The only thing what is importnant is that we help a bass player on his way to get himself a new bass guitar.

Wait a minute? Didn't you call that your "old Yamaha"? Anyway I meant Yamaha 6er for years not Yamaha for 6 years. But what is 6 hours in an old picture?

6 hours? This does not compute! Did you used to play a Yamaha before or are you looking for a 6er as a noob? Photo seems to say you played that bass for a long time and now you find the neck too wide for your hands? What was the question again?

You can land an airplane on that fingerboard. It doubles as a surf board.

Those Yamaha TRB sixers always struck me as being all the way at the wide end of the narrow-wide fingerboard width continuum...were there ever any other 6-string basses with a wider neck? (Maybe the original Ken Smith?)

If you have the opportunity to get your hands on a MTD 635 you might change your mind. My body and neck are ash on mine so she is super light and his asymmetric neck design make it really easy to get your hands around. Just my two cents. Happy New Year! If I am ever in your area I would be happy to let you play mine!

If you want to buy a comfortable bass guitar, Adrian Maruszczyk is my friend. I can help you buying an ideal bass guitar.
We can plan the bass, and he can produce the bass.

I would be very interested in a vintage 6 model.
34" scale, 21 fret, 2 1/8 at nut, lightweight, 70's pickup placement.

I'm not sure about Modulus's but Carvin's string spacing varies somewhat on models and years. I think a lot of their current ones are 16mm, and the Vanquish is 16.25mm, with a Hipshot bridge that allows for string spacing adjustments. Standard Warwick's (not "broadnecks") are 16.5mm with adjustable spacing, current Ibanez SR's are set at 16.5mm, older SR's and Ibanez BTB's are 17mm. Most other manufacturers I've looked at are wider.

And then there's Ibanez GVB36 and its elder brother GVB1006 with 14mm spacing.

I've got an old Modulus 6-string with 13.97mm spacing...and, at the time it was built (1988) that was considered their wide 6-string!!!
