Playing P basses has become more and more of a struggle in the last couple of years, coupled with a bit of pain if I'm honest. This led to me having the neck of my Roadworn P bass slightly slimmed to standard P width (1.625"), which helped a bit, but the neck still felt wide [u][b]up around the 5th fret and onwards.[/b][/u]

That's where the problem is. Stop it. You are playing bass.
