About 12-3/4 inches wide, and about 45-1/2" long. On the set neck bodies the width doesn't change with the number of strings. I'll have to get back with you on the 3/4 Standard Point body shape.

Thanks , see ya Mica Wickersham (mica) Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 533 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, December 23, 2002 - 11:45 am:    The 3/4 body is just under 6 inches wide each side. So you take the width at the 24th fret and add 12 inches to find the width of a bass with a 3/4 body. We've got a 3/4 template for the set neck basses, so you won't need to have us build one. The set neck is about the width of a 4-string, it's slightly wider than 14 inches.

Deliveries are about 10-12 weeks presently. You should be excited - you're about to get a dream bass!
