What bass has the easiest or most comfortable neck to play ?

[ShowKing]

Lakland

For me it is every Lakland neck I've played, 4 or 5. Their necks just seem to fit me perfectly. I've owned two 55-01, two 44-01 and a JO4. The JO is 1.5" nut width, the 44-01 1.6 and thinner front to back, but even though they are different they still both feel great.

Edit: ShowKing beat me by 3 minutes....

Adamovic basses. The neck feel and playability are out of this world!

Neck profile of handmade MTD basses... is your answer

I know this will sound ignorant, but what exactly do you all mean by "fast neck"?

Do you mean that it's size means you don't have to stretch much, and can easily play quickly in first position?

Do you mean the finish makes it easy to slide your thumb down the back to change position?

Something else?

The best neck in my collection, 9 guitars, 3 basses, is the Rickenbacker Stereo 4001, 1973 (from new).
No comparison, although I can cope with the Dano and Squier PB.

for me....it's my Dave Pushic custom. The neck is the most comfortable and fastest neck I've ever played (and I've been playing for over 40 years)

Interesting to me how a few folks on here mention the Kubicki and the Rick neither of which are full scale. The Kubicki is medium at 32" and the Rick's are 33.25".

For me it's my Peavey Palaedium. Super thin fast neck!

My Geddy Jazz, after playing for 2 hours it starts getting almost slippery. Followed by the SUB ray4, bit of a thicker neck but the bass sits in a really nice spot to play.

Warmoth slim taper Jazz neck for me. It's perfect for my left hand.

All my basses have great necks...my only complaint is that 2 of them don't have a satin finish...

I guess that depends on the player. I have been able to play any bass I've tried regardless of neck shape. I have 10 basses now, with different necks on them and can play them all.

As long as there is no neck dive or a v-cut, my hands aren't picky.

Mine is any '91-'99, or post '09 Warwick neck with the current slim profile. Sold every other bass I had when I got my first because they just became such a chore to play.

I had a preGibson Tobias 6 that was stolen from Toledo Ohio. I loved that bass and played her for 12 years! Then I got my MTD 635-24 and wow has Mike picked up his game. Easily one of the best necks to play on and tap on!

For me it was a Peavey Axcelerator. Dang why did I let that go ? Sounded great too.

I agree with everyone who mentioned MTD and their neck profile. Very comfortable indeed. I have a Skjold Skjoldslayer 5 string and I've had a couple of Dingwalls(abz and abii) that have great necks. My old Roscoe LG 3005 has a great neck too. A lot of very talented luthiers making great basses out there!!!
