Now we need some 4003 basses from 2007 to see about the new necks, how they compare to the old style 4003
Interesting. Do we have some statistics that reveal the difference between the two?

Thanks for the addition, Robert. Your '07 neck is like my '04 neck.

Thread resurrected!
Always good to see more data in here, CJ.
But in order to compare, we need to all measure the same way. All of the data collected thus far were measured using a vinyl tape measure (or some used a string and then stretched it out on top of a ruler) just in front of the first, third, and twelfth frets. Wrap it all the way around the neck under the strings tightly please.
Rock on!
EDIT: Oh, I get it. Looks like that's what you did in your first group of numbers there. Never mind!

Thanks. I was just browsing around and was happy to come across something I could actually contribute to.
