I've always fancied the look of one of those but the Andertons site lists them as 42mm so I've written them off. Oh, hello GAS! I bought it from Andertons. Perhaps I should demand my extra 2mm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambo66 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Yamaha pulser bass (pb400). These have a 40mm nut and the neck is lovely. I adore mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender list the Nate M sig at 1.615", which is pretty much 41mm, though a little thinner than the standard modern P nut of 1.625" / 41.3mm [In my head, 40mm aka 1+9/16" is an M neck .... because in the alphabet M lies exactly halfway between J and P 😬 ] What's a mm between friends? 😁 Could well be right on that, I'm not 100% on Fender neck names and measurements. All I know is that the PB70US I had was a really great neck. If I could make it less tapered so it didn't widen out so much by the 12th fret then it'd be perfect. PS. Love the reasoning behind the M neck name 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Membo Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) I'm late to the party, but the G&L CLF L-1000 and L-2000 are 40 mm. The Tributes are 44mm, in case you were curious. My SB-1 is 44mm. Edited January 5, 2023 by Membo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Oddly I've never in decades measured a bass neck, I've deduced empirically that P bass type necks are wider at the nut and J bass types are pretty narrow (like a little girl's wrist as someone once said! ) despite having short stubby fingers I've managed to switch quite happily between both with no prob... I'd draw the line at a mandolin or one of them Git things tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owno Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I believe my Serek Midwestern bass has got a 40mm neck. It is amazing! Chunky as a 70's P bass neck, yet more narrow nut width. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky as a 70's P bass neck, yet more narrow nut width. I think standard spec is 1 5/8"....or 1.625.....or 41.2mm I agree though, my MW is a wonderful combination of chunky and very playable. All Lakland 44-01/44-02/44-94 are 1.625, super comfortable and playable. 44-94 are obviously US models, so whoever ordered it might have custom-spec'd something else, but as standard they're 1.625. Oh and their 44-51 is 1.625 as standard too. Yes I know it's 1.2mm more than the thread is asking for, but my fave 4 string necks! 😊 Si Edited January 9, 2023 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PB70-70US & PB70-78US are both 40mm nut width. Mainly non-export but there are a decent number in the UK, popular for individuals & small guitar traders to import but VAT, import & shipping are becoming increasingly prohibitive. PB70 -70US = Precision Bass 70's style 70,000 Yen new, US pickups PB70-78US = Precision Bass 70's style 78,000 Yen new, US pickups (pic below) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
