do these have the same neck thickness? not nut width, or fingerboard radius, but the shape and thickness of the back of the neck?

reason i ask is i really like the bongo neck, nut width not so important to me as the shape, and fingerboard radius.

if they don't have the same design, what does

thanks
 
The 25th Anniversary Bass, the Reflex, and the Bongo share the same neck shape, but not the Sting Ray. To me the Sting Ray feels a tad thicker still very comfortable. I have no problem switching between my basses in the same practice session.
 
^^^ What he said. I love my Bongo's but when I had my Stingray and my Sterling, I could switch back and forth without any issues. Heck, I still have my Stingray Classic and the same goes for it. Out of all of my Music Man basses, it feels like it has the thickest neck but I ave no issues transitioning between any of my Music Man basses.
