There aren't any Xotic basses remotely close to where I live, so could you care to describe the neck profile on this beast? Preferably compared to a Fender American V or a Sadowsky Metro (2 I've tried) if you've ever gotten your hands on one before? Thanks!

I've owned several Metros but don't have one right now - from memory, the most noticeable difference to me is that the Xotic is a little more of a C-shape close to the nut while the Sadowsky is more D-shaped. Not sure about radius, etc. Both seem very comfortable, though. They are different, but it's not a huge difference IMO.

I would agree with this from my experience with Sadowsky and Xotic basses. I would say the Xotic is a somewhat flattened C
