Thinnest profile bass necks?

[Philbiker]

Front to back: Geddy Lee

The various Peavey and Dean Jeff Berlin basses I have played/owned have all had really slim necks front to back and side to side.

The neck on my Peavey Palaedium is absolutely ridiculous. Thinnest I've ever encountered. Painful to play.

60s Rickenbacker basses ...

Thin as in nut width? Fender Jazz and the Geddys Lee sig in particular. Older fenders can be thin as well.... My '73 Jazz is UNDER 1.5".

Thinnest fretboard to back of neck? '90s non-truss rod Modulus Quantums. Super slim. Honourable mentions? Ibanez SGR and MTD.

Which MTD?

can we all agree that a small dimension of the nut width would be a narrow neck, not a thin neck?...

just sayin....

With thickness at first fret of 19.5mm for the Ibanez SR500 and similar models in that range I can't find any other 34" scale bass with a neck thinner than that.

Old Hagstroms had the thinnest (not narrowest, that would be a VOX) necks of anything I've tried. Also, I had a Moonstone Eclipse with a super-shallow neck, like a fingerboard with a thin maple backing.

I have an Alembic Rogue with an extremely flat radiused neck. That is really what I am asking about. Rest assured that I have been following this thread and looking for basses. I found a cheap Ibanez RD707 on ebay. I may pull the trigger on that one. Keep 'em coming though!
