PaulThePlug Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) So newish to this bass malarky... Great site - And 'GLUED' to the build threads. Love the neck on my Ibby GSR... 41mm Nut 305mm Radius and very slim profile... read about P necks and J necks mainly nut width and neck thickness rather than radius. very similar discussions to the Fender strat early 7.25" v later 12" radius. My Charvel #2 fretboard was part of a cone. compound radius 12" at the nut 16" at the 21st fret. Had this been done on a bass? Just thinking for all you DIY ers... Those Soundbergs with no fret markers - simple and loverly looking... I'll have one with that SR body thats getting modded... And loving natural wood with the bass. I'm over my Black Guitar needs... Grown up? Edited June 5, 2020 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender did it with the dimension bass - it was 9.5" to 14". Lovely neck to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Fender Ultra P + J also have compound radius boards (10" to 14"). Plenty of other basses out there with compound boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
