Thin C necks.

[epic!]

Which companies make thin c (or subsequent other letters) necks? I know schecter, esp, Ibanez, occasional fenders do. Any other ones? I’ve been spoiled by these types of necks and everything else feels chunky and fat in my hands now.

My 2015 Gibson T-bird has a very thin neck. It’s almost too thin for me, but still a joy to play overall.

If you're willing to try an aftermarket Fender-style neck, I think it's hard to go wrong with Musikraft. You can get heavy rolled fingerboard edges (which I love) and a thin C back profile:

Warmoth offers thin-profile necks as well.

My G&L JB has a pretty skinny neck.

Warmoth offers thin-profile necks as well.

I have one of these and it plays nice. Roasted maple with maple fretboard, only treated with Tru-Oil.

I'm not 100% sure the difference between a C neck and a U neck, but ESP/LTD has thin-U and extra thin-U necks in various basses. I have a 2018 D-series with a thin-U neck (which I love. It's fast and slender, but not a pencil neck like a Soundgear. My D-5 is sheer joy to play). I feel like extra thin U would be too thin for me.

 

[Killing Floor]

Kiesel uses thin C on a lot of models.

 

[Luckydog]

Thin front to back-
Thin side to side-

Elrick has a thin, tapered neck. It’s amazing!

I had a 2004 MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz. It had the thinnest neck I've ever played and was my #1 player for a long time.
The ONLY reason I sold it is because I'm playing nothing but short scale basses now. If I could find a short scale Jazz and/or P with that neck profile I'd buy each in a heartbeat. It was fantastic!

Pedulla is known for this.

I tried an MTD recently that felt this way, especially up the fretboard.

Cort Artisan series features a thin C profile on their necks too. I once owned a Cort B4 and its neck was about as thin as any Ibanez Soundgear.

 

[DoctorZee]

Thin front to back-
Thin side to side-

Exact opposite for me!

Can't help you, I prefer necks (and other things) that feel chunky and fat in my hands.

The Carvin/Kiesel LB series basses...
I know you said some Fenders but just a mention of the MIJ Fender GL Jazz...
Even though the Squier 70's Jazz is thinner also.

I feel the same. Went on a similar quest for better/thinner and ended up loving Charvel San Dimas compound radius speed necks on the new pj’s. Highly recommended.

Most every six string bass is a thin C.
You can't hook your thumb on the E on a six.

Currently playing an LTD GB-4 and Geddy Lee Jazz which have ruined the feel of other guitars for me. Love the feel of both.

Ideally would love to find a P bass with a 1.5 width nut and thin C neck but no one makes those. I think my best bet is to get an after market neck.
