The neck is extremely thin with a shallow-D profile that makes it very comfortable to play, especially for someone like me, who has small hands. The octave strings allowed me to get a "tick-tack" bass and regular bass tone at the same time. In the early days I played through a Vox Westminster amp with a single 18" Goodman speaker so the octave strings gave me a little extra top-end to compete with the two guitars in the band. My first bass was an Italian-made Raven copy of the Hofner that had a neck like a tree trunk. Switching to the Hagstrom was a dream-come-true! — Bass Wabbit The Fabulous Blue Wabbits https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQj7B3Vql1vxjYxEM29vmQ Top

Thinnest neck of any bass that I have ever played. I love the look of it. I bought it new in 1986. Fender really should revive it. They also had a Performer guitar around the same time-same body style- sort of a George Jetson Strat style. Top
