Hi
I'm looking into getting a bz6000 or 7000 or possibly a progressive 650. The thing I'm curious about is the string to string spacing at the bridge on all of these basses. I have contacted Thomann 3 times over the past week but had no response.
Can anyone provide the measurement?

Hi dazed, welcome to the club and thank you for joining us. I don't have the bz6000 (I still get lost on 5 strings ) but I seem to remember reading that the spacing is just under 17mm (between 16.5 and 17).

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
That rules out the 650 for me then! I can't cope with narrow spacing.
Thanks for the offer but I guess the 6 and 7 strings will be narrower than the 4.

Thomann have given me the info.
Useful for anyone interested in these:
"We can’t give any exaxt information about the weight, because it can vary. I weight and measured our bass guitars from the showroom to give you an idea how much it weights. I meassured the spring spacing from the inside edge to insidige edge. From the first to last and A to D. Harley Benton BZ 7000 NT Gewicht: 5,94 kg B-F: 93,99 mm A-D: 14,24 mm
Harley Benton BZ 6000 NT Gewicht: 5,56 kg B-C: 79,10 mm A-D: 14,57 mm Harley Benton B650 Gewicht: 4,52 kg B-C: 77,93 mm A-D: 14,29 mm "

yes grate to know that means that there is little diferabce between my B-650 and the 7000 and my fingers have little to no problem handling the 650 so guess I can play the 7000 without problems.
