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!

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