I recently picked up a 97 MIM Fender Jazz Deluxe, got a good deal sounds and plays great. But the neck seems barely thinner than my p bass. this is my first jazz and just curious if this is common. I've only really played the geddy lee and marcus millers for more than an hour, the other j's were just wanking at the store. I remember the necks on those much thinner. Am I just crazy?

My VM has the thinnest neck on any J bass I've ever played, more like the Geddy. I know, the VM is not a Fender. But it's like they used the Geddy for the sample for the VM neck.

probably because signature basses have 7.25 neck radius while the standards have 9.5
