I have found that the string height (action) often makes a neck feel thicker or otherwise.

Just a little tidbit from your old buddy Karl.

I have a 2008 LE H/S Stingray maple fb and a 2008 Stingray single H Rosewood. The rosewood neck, as expected, looks much thinner due to the visual difference between the woods. To this very minute I will swear that the maple neck feels much chunkier than the Rosewood ray, which feels much thinner and wider. I just grabbed my digital caliper and took some measurements of each neck. They are virtually the same with measurements varying barely 2 decimal places.

They still feel very different to me.
