Flatattack,
 
Your bass is coming along nicely.  I think I saw it at one of it's various stages a few weeks ago.  So many bass I saw, it is hard to keep track.  
 
I was curious about the neck width at the nut and the 24th fret.  Someone in the club was working on custom neck deminsion, but I can't find it now, so I am not sure if it was you.  The reason for my inquiry, is for a visual reference on different neck widths against the balance K body style.
 
Just think, your bass will be done before you know it, even though that doesn't seem true now.
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin K

thanks kevin- if you go to the dreamin posts scroll down to my flaxattack orders his custom and a lot of the dimensions are there. mica has a program that puts out the numbers
in general
32 scale
1.75 nut
.500 spacing
2.48 at 24th fret
edge distance .182 instead of .150
tight little sucker... lol
 

Thanks Jeff,
 
I guess you are the person that I was referencing.  That is tight spacing.  
 
So you are going to have a little more room to bend the B & G strings then normal I assume.  
 
You really did exhaust alot of different neck deminsions.  It is good reference material.
 
Thanks again & take it easy.

i have short fingers. and reaching across up the neck will be easier- it will take getting used too, but it will be lightening in my hands...
i hope
yes for the bending- i did the b side to keep it equal. sometimes i get pullover on the g
if i may recommend a dealer to work with  
superbass is the man!
he clued me into a few things to make my bass even better- such as getting a shaved neck
i went so far as to buy a board and lay our the various spacing options

Finally got your bass before prepping!  

 

  The colors are so rich.

Looking good Jeff. Maybe someday my thread will come and we can compare woods.

Nice, very nice, Jeff!
