Does anyone know how thick a the neck of a Fender Jazz Bass is? I'm doing a comparison of various models and brands.

For example, an Ibanez SR series bass has a thickness of around 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the 12th fret (varies from model to model).

Probably a weird question, I know, but if someone knows it would really be helpful.

I believe the OP wants neck thickness, not width. Average J-Bass neck thickness numbers that I have seen are around 21.5mm to 22.5 at the 1st fret, 24mm to 25mm at the 12th. The Geddy Lee neck is the thinnest Jazz neck, really close to an Ibanez neck.

I guess the fact that it has a C shaped neck as opposed to the D shape on an Ibanez would make it thicker anyway. Was just curious, as I'm trying to get an idea of what I really like in a bass. Thanks for finding that out.

The overall neck radius is 9.5 inches if that helps any.
