Wow. I am so glad now I didn't bid on it. I do so dislike baseball bat necks. Give me the skinny bitches.

Compared to what? 1-3/4" wide at nut, 2-3/4" heel, thickness 91" at first fret, .99" at twelfth fret. About the same as some EB, Yamaha, G&L, Fender.

Not exactly that either. String spacing at nut adjustable from to 2-5/8 to 2-3/4" outside dimension.

I was referring to the Fender Roscoe Beck V that I played in my band. They are notorious for having rather large necks. I love them as well as the 19mm spacing at the bridge.

Compared to Carvin, 1.6 at the nut, .76 at the first fret, .90 at the 12th.

Scott if you decide it is not for you let me know...

Will do. ETA is Tuesday

It's here! Just beautiful! Pics and review soon.

After a quick play. Nice super low action not a buzz anywhere, I love the extra fret! The pickup sounds just right with even response across all 5 strings, through my Hiwatt it will kill. A fiver feels weird to me no doubt about it, I'll have to spend some time and get acclimated. I may be using it sooner than I think my band is having problems, the drummer and the guitar players women are not getting along thus making everyones life miserable. If I have to look for a new gig. I may be having to say "yeah I play a five string" sooner than I think.

Wow... talk about a positive and a negative, all wrapped up in a single post... $:-\$

Hope it all works out...

Hey Kenny it's out of my hands I can't worry about it! I won't say anymore other than both are being childish.

Among the control issues that helped drive me to get a divorce, was the fact that Yoko started belittling me to any band members for whatever band I was in, along with telling the band what songs they should play and then thinking she should be paid like a band member for getting people to dance.

I just don't invite my wife, nor would she bother to come most of the time anyway between 12 year old at home and she hates driving at night. only a few summer outdoor gigs and an occasional place with good food will she be there. Learned about the girl friend catfights many years ago. just stupid. Been lucky ever since

good luck with that sh@t

Jackie has only ever seen me play at a rehearsal, once... also, being a book-keeper, she is very efficient at GAS control...

You guys have been together too long for that crap...you KNOW how long it takes to find a band that is not bullshit after you hit 50. Not to mention, a band that plays stuff that you like...
