Between a 5-string and a 6-string if they are both our standard 18mm then the 6-string is one string wider which is 18mm at the bridge end and 9 mm at the nut end. One string wider end to end.

I get it ... Thinking about it now it seems pretty obvious. Just work with the actual spacing.

thanks Ken

The space outside the strings I call the overhang. That is the room from each outer string to the edge of the fingerboard. That measurement is about the same for all of the basses so yes, it's the spacing PLUS the overhang that makes up the overall width.
