[Aaron Saunders]

Stingray's are chunky, like a P-bass.

I have compared Smiths, Foderas, MTDs, Modulus' and other high end basses to my Roscoe LG-3005 and nothing comes close to the wafer thin profile it has. Super thin but has not moved a hair in the 3 years I've owned it. It is a very fast neck.

Wow, I hated my Roscoe because the neck was so damn bulky. It was also very unstable with temperature and humidity changes. Fatter necks don't mean necesserely more stability in my humble opinion. The neck was also so damn heavy for the small and light spanish cedar body. The balance was terrible. Very uncomfortable to play. I got rid of my Roscoe LG3005 because of all these comfort issues The sound was great though.

I have a Dean Edge 5 bolt on and the neck is pretty thin but the string space at the bridge is extremely narrow. I wanna say around 16mm.

I promise you. The Roscoe that I have is the thinnest front-to-back I've ever played and I have played a LOT of basses. I do wonder, however, if there are some with thicker necks. In the old Bass Player 5 string shootout they said that Roscoe neck was "chunky".

Didn't Roscoe at one time offer two different neck profiles? You guys could be argueing over apples and oranges here.

Bee and Adler fo' sho'.....

Something to aspire to.

Never played an Adler or a Bee.

For basses that you will see in a shop, the Peavey Cirrus is among the thinnest. Zons are even thinner.
