Musicman Stingray 5 necks - £480, if you are interested in securing a slot in the first batch of 5, sign up here.

Modelled on the Classic 5 neck on my own bass.  Can do either a narrower nut version (borrowing from a very comfortable Steinberger 5 string neck) or original flavour depending on interest. 

 

I'll post measurements and spec below tomorrow as it's a bit late here.  But @Woodinblack and @crazycloud indicated interest.  I'll take up an order slot myself if four deposits are recieved.

Do you know how the neck profile compares with a SUB Ray5?

[Woodinblack]

Certainly interested on the narrowest nut that people are happy to go for

Can you provide SUB neck measurements?  Nut width and depth, width and depth at 12th fret and at the heel plus heel length?  I suspect there might be differences to discourage neck swapping between models but I can compare your measurements (if you have them) to my bass and we can both take a view.

I'll sort out the measurements.

Nut width 45mm. Width at 12th fret 61.5mm. Width at 22nd fret 69mm.

Depth at 1st fret 21.8mm. Depth at 12th fret 23.6. Heel thickness c 27.8mm.

OK, do you have neck pocket length?  My Classic 5 is:
Nut width: 44.1mm
Neck depth at nut: 20.5mm
12th fret width: 60.9mm
Neck depth at 12th fret: 23.8mm
Heel thickness: 28.3mm

Width at 21st fret: 69mm <- this might be incompatible with your SUB5 neck if it has a 22 fret neck heel.
Neck pocket length: 72.5mm

 

FWIW the Steinberger 5 string neck  for comparison is: 

Nut width: 44.1mm
Neck depth at nut: 19.3mm
12th fret width: 60.4mm
Neck depth at 12th fret: 22mm
Heel thickness: 26.6mm

Width at 24th fret: 69.1mm 
Neck pocket length: 77.5mm (estimated)

Hi, do you know if the classic 5 measurements match to a SR5? Do they have the same number of frets?

Thanks

I'm not able to comment at the moment unfortunately.  Maybe someone else on here might be able to chip in?
