I have an Epic 5 string. Love the sound but the neck is just a bit too thick. Is their any chance that one of the neck - though basses would be any "thinner"? Thanks.

Hi Mike and welcome to the club. The quick answer is yes. My balance K 5 has the 'comfort' neck and is slightly less 'chunky' feeling than my epic 5. It also has the (now) standard satin finish neck so feels much faster.
