Ebmm sterling-radius changes?

[Stanford]

Hey guys. Own 2 sterlings (and have had 3 rays and 2ray5s) was doing a local gig and realized my two babies have different radius’s and widths. F40860 is a 2012 all maple, and feels thinner. I’m the first and only owner so it hasn’t been shaved or nodded beyond a checkerboard pickguard. F10670 is a gold sparkle with rosewood board from 2004,and is closer in shape to a jazz? Was this modified? Or did the line change? It’s still an awesome bass, with an imho, a hotter pre amp.

Can anyone shed light on this? I’ll post measurements when I get my calipers back Monday

I have just bought a 2010 stingray 4(rosewood fretboard), and played earlier this week a Stingray 4 1980 (maple fretboard). In my experience the 1980 neck was a lot thicker than the 2010.
I like the playability and sound of the 2010 stingray better, but hey, thats just a matter of taste.
I think you could be right, i think the line has changed a bit.
