Seriously, the neck on my Guild Blues 90 is somewhere between a Gibby 50's baseball bat and 60's profile and it is PERFECT.

I like big necks and I can not lie! You other ILF'ers can't deny!

Re: Necks
As far as bass necks go, my Ric 4003 is where it's at, but the Jazz neck on my Japanese Jag bass is a close 2nd. Japanese Fenders are go!

Re: Necks
I'm finding that I like a medium sized U-shaped neck. I was a little unhappy with Fender's Standard C shape and presumed that I needed a thicker neck, but then I tried a U-shaped neck with the same neck radius and it felt awesome. I don't have especially large hands but my palms are kind of bigger so they need something to grip, else I cramp up. A nice U-shaped neck and 11 gauge strings and heavy picks makes a guitar feel substantial to me.

Re: Necks
Best neck I've ever used is the neck on my Reverend Slingshot Jr. It is like the best possible Strat C neck.
My 06 American Strat neck is a close second, but the offset spine of the Reverend makes it feel a bit better.

Re: Necks
I like big and fat, v or u or c. Hate ultra thin and flat shredder necks. But I've gotten over some bigotry against skinnier necks because my Godin is so nice--kind of like a thin Fender 60s C, but with a flatter fretboard and some comfy asymmetry. For longer stretches, bigger necks are still a lot more comfortable for me, though.

Re: Necks
My favourite neck is the one on my cij mustang. Nice and slim and fits into my hands nicely.

Re: Necks
Great guitars the MS500 Matons. Have one myself fitted with P90s. Also used the coil tap switch to switch between 2 different P.I.O tone caps. But yeah the necks are nice. The whole guitars are nice except for the stock pickups.Holy Schnikes wrote:I like necks chunky as well. Not baseball bat-style but def bigger than say a Gibson slim 60's neck. My only guitar with a little thinner profile is my Maton MS500 but that neck is fantastic in it's own way and super fast.
