A's: First off they are wider overall but NOT thicker. The thicknesses stays the same hence the flatter FB radius.
Any and every note on a 6 vs 5-string has MORE wood around it being wider all over especially the neck and fb. Therefore EVERY note to my ear is 'meatier' sounding.

Thanks Ken.
And are all the MS necks 3-piece laminate? It looks like one piece from the pictures. And are the graphite bars in all necks? |
