The neck profile of a 2011 and the body shape just befor they went for the "really skinny" wings (sometimes in 2008-2009?).

I really enjoy the neck profile and width of my 2011. But find the wings just a tad too small.

My guess would be an early 90s one.
Skinny neck and fat horns...

Wings are actually too fat, having a 4003 from 1990.

Yeah, I am picky...

The neck is nice but I really enjoy the extra width at the nut from the 2011.

What I would actally like is the wings from my 2004 4003 on the neck of my 2011.

If there is such a thing, I want it with Jetglo... Checkerboard would be a nice plus...

The 1972 I recently bought is about to clear the Australian customs and hit my door. I am quite keen to see how the neck will be.

Hmm, sounds like you are talking about my 86 Shadow. Slim neck, front to back, and larger body wings. Pound for pound, one of my favorite basses.
