Gents, how can I get a copy of this Database. The links I've seen don't seem to be working. Thanks

It’s this one, isn’t it?

Personally, girth doesn’t tell me much. A wide and thin neck can have the same girth as another narrow and thick neck. Maybe something I don’t understand, but I find width and thickness more informative.

That's what the second page is for, though it doesn't have as many entries...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

That is because we started taking the width an depth and then it was decided girth was more informative, so no more W/D were taken.

I will get the measurements taken added to the file soon. Working tonight.

Lack of interest or no one saw the old thread. I'll add what is posted. Still need to add the ones just posted.

Here's a 2015 4003 to add...

1st - 11.7
3rd - 12.1
12th - 13.5

Was interested in how this compares to my 1986 Ibanez RB760:

1st - 10.6
3rd - 11.2
12th - 13.7

Now that this is back on the front page, maybe I should add my measurements.

I mean, my basses' measurements.
