do guitarmill bass bodies fit warmoth necks??

as my bass-oriented mind expands and i become overrun with what many of you call "gas" (this wasn't a phrase used in drum forums ;)) i'm wondering about many different bass projects i can take up. and my love of 51 p basses led me straight to the lovely guitarmill website. would their 51 p bass body fit a warmoth telecaster bass neck? assuming of course that warmoth uses fender's measurement specifications when it comes to heels, it shouldn't be a problem, but i just wanted to double check. also while you're at, give me some anecdotes of any experience you may have with guitarmill. i've heard the owner is a former fender custom shop guy?
 
All Warmoth necks have a rounded heel. Make sure the guitarmill body does not have the period correct square heel, and you're good to go.
i see a little text box for custom bass bodies where it says "additional notes". would you just mention "cut the heel to be rounded instead of square to accommodate warmoth telecaster bass necks" and he would know what to do?
