What makes a neck ergonomic?

[Gare Boo]

Hello. I personally like low fretboard radius like Fender, and also the skinny profile of Ibanez. So, what do you guys think about a neck with 9.5" radius, 38mm nut width, and the neck thickness like an Ibanez (1st Fret: 0.76"/19.5mm, 12th Fret: 0.84"/21.5mm)? Are these features gonna make an ergonomic neck? If not, what would make a neck ergonomic? Do you recommend any basses that have comfortable/ergonomic necks? Thank you!

That's as personal as your special lady's (or gent's) underdrawers, and I doubt seriously you'll get an answer for it here. You just need to try a bunch out, and see what specs the ones you like have.

The neck you describe sounds comfy enough. Whether it's ergonomic depends on your anatomy, so I can't really answer that.

I like 38mm to 40mm width, short scale, not flat but not too round, and just enough meat to grab onto. Not a very exacting description, I know. My favorite/most comfortable neck, at this time, is the neck on my Badtz Maru Bronco.
