I don't remember exactly, but the design was spaced slightly narrower than standard Fender spacing. So, instead of doing 3 spaces plus 3/16" overhang, I did two spaces plus....overhang, string,space,string, space, string, overhang.
I believe the spacing was a half inch at the nut and 5/8 at the bridge. I usually prefer narrower necks. If you email Monique, she might tell you . :)
Thanks, it's a lot of fun to create something personal for the player. Monique is known for playing slide bass on a two string. So, I added the additional low D to give her some additional low tone. I build other style instruments besides those based on cigar boxes....But, it's hard to get away from cigar box building...it's just so much fun...LOL
beutiful... such a dirty tone.... i so want to make a cigar bass....
