Bass Neck Back Shape

Description:

Back shape is the profile or grip shape of the neck. How much wood does it take to fill up your hand? Too little equates to quicker hand fatigue. Too much is even worse, you can't reach around it. There is much more personal preference to back shape choice than nut width. The selection criteria however is the same. Check out your friends guitars. Measure them and base your choice accordingly.
