This is a Spin-off of the "picking up a bass clarinet" thread (discussion about Bay necks)
While many bass clarinets look the same or rather similar, there are subtle differences in their dimensions, some of which have a direct impact on the ease of playing; as the instrument has dimensions that not all players handle equally well. Maybe I should add the standing height (bell bow to mouthpiece tip with vertical body)?
Anyhow, here's the Measure Your Bass Neck thread. The attached picture shows the schema of a generic bass clarinet neck, with dimension naming conventions.
Measure your instrument and post the values here. (Moderators - if there is a better place for this, feel free to move it)
So I'll start:
Old Bundy (aka Selmer 1430) with a tenor-style neck:
A=20°; D=26mm; E=660mm; G=630mm; H=10mm; L=170mm
Jupiter 675:
A=30°; D=26mm; E=675mm; G=640mm; H=5mm; L=165mm
