So far, I have purchased 3 Warmoth bass necks (all std p bass profiles) and 2 Warmoth guitar necks. I really liked my second bass neck (maple and rosewood, nickel frets, 6150, steel rods) dimensions and wanted to try 6150 SS frets on an all-maple neck with graphite rods next, which became my third Warmoth bass neck. As it was my third Warmoth p bass neck with the "same" profile, I never thought of measuring. After dressing fret ends, fretboard edges and finishing with Tru-Oil, I mounted it on my other Fender body. It always seemed fatter, but I just assumed that it could be an optical allusion (difference between different color fretboard vs. same color fretboard.)
Well, I just took out my dial calipers and measured. Second bass neck: first fret=0.872" and 12th fret=0.968". Third bass neck: first fret=0.919" and 12th fret=1.010"! Dimensions from website: first fret=0.872" and 12th fret=0.975"! I remeasured from top and bottom and got roughly same measurements, within a couple of thousandths.
So, I'm not crazy...
