Not to get nit picky here, but the difference is actually 0.01". Now, I don't know about the thickness of the neck, but I seriously doubt you can feel 1/100 of an inch in the width.

Mhmm. I decided against it. I am looking at Warmoth right now. Man, for that price after you get all your preferences selected, it's hard to beat that price.
Don't be surprised if you get dinged for shipping both ways plus any brokerage fees. I can't see a seller eating those costs because of buyers remorse.
OP said the nut widths were 1.625 vs 1.615. That is a difference of .01 (one hundreth), not .1 (one tenth)!!!
The thickness of a sheet of writing paper.
The only thing more difficult to compare than two necks that we haven't tried, is to compare two necks that even you haven't tried.
A 1.615" is not gonna feel like a Jazz neck based on the width. If it feels thin, it's because of the thickness or profile.
Well Nate did say he didn't like both extremes so he wanted his signature bass' neck to be somewhere in the middle. It still feels like a Jazz neck to me.
I'm with you. Since I got my Roger WatersbP w/ 1.75" nut, everything else feels flimsy, even my 1.625" Neck on my fretless.
Incidentally, I'm building a Jazz right now and I chose a 1.6" nut width for the neck so it won't feel too flimsy.
When he said he "accidentally" purchased something, and then later implied he could not "justify" the price, I assumed that he might be referring to an excuse that he gave his wife. But, realizing that he might only be referring to his financial means, I used a slash to indicate that either could be the case.
uh...I'm not married, guys. LOL XD
"Accidentally" means that for some reason, I thought the prices lists on their website was converted to CAD (Reverb does that so I assumed Stratosphere did too...for some strange reason).
When I finished purchasing, it said it took $500 from my bank account after converting the USD into CAD.
This part of the OP's gripe had me shaking my head one way while my eyes were rolling the other... must have some sensitive hands
