I'm of the opinion that 1.5" is correct for a Jazz Bass and that 1.685" feels just fine on my Squier Bass VI.
Many people prefer the 1.5” and even put jazz necks on their Pbass. I’m the other way around. Because I play bass and guitar, I feel more at home on a 1.625” nut width. Even my Custom US Lakland jazz style bass was custom built with the 1.625”

That's what I was thinking. 1.5" for four bass strings sounds great. 1.5" for six sounds like a squeeze.
