Am I the only one who enjoys running my hand up and down a graphite neck? I enjoy my SR5 neck, but the graphite neck addition (MOSES) is something I won't do with out again.
i play both jazzes and precisions, and they're both comfortable. it's just easier for me to play higher notes on a jazz neck.
Love my warmoth 5 neck... also love the old Warwick necks
Basically I am a huge sucker for unfinished wenge necks.

Hmm, I love the neck on my 1990 warwick thumb. I also love the neck on my new rob allen. They are completely different in every single way. The neck on my first bass feels like home whenever I play play, but it does not feel that good.
I guess, generally, I'd say I like a thin neck at the nut with moderate taper for larger bridge spacing, and I like a neck that's thin front to back, but still has some meat on it for me to anchor my thumb more comfortably. I also like unfinished necks and at least 24 frets. My warwick has 26 and i love that, I can live with less though.

Even though I love the Jazz bass neck, my favorite has to be the MTD 435 neck, and in 5 strings the Tobias basic 5 neck...
Reverend Rumblefish 4 String!! To me, playability and tone are the two most important atributes of a bass, and if it can't be played because of an uncomfortable neck, the tone doesn't much matter. Second for me (a very close second) are Jazz necks.
+1 to Peavey.. I'll vote for my Milestone III having the best neck. My first and cheapest store-bought bass that I picked over a couple others when I was 16 and knew almost nothing about instruments. I've played cheap First Act and Johnson basses that belonged to others, low-range LTDs and Ibanezes (or Ibanii), a good Fender Standard P-bass, up through US Fender Jazzes and Warwick Corvettes.. I'm not sold on any of em. Sound quality aside, nothin feels better.
Music Man Sterling Necks. They are great. 1-1/2" Nut and a tight 7-1/2" Radius. I love them. The Fender Jazz is also really cool. The 9" radius is good as well

I have a Rumblefish and 2 other basses (Hamer 2-Tek CruiseBass and MIJ fretless Jazz) that feel almost exactly the same, like a 70's Jazz Bass. I love that neck profile, my left hand never gets tired. I also have a P-clone with the classic 1 3/4" neck width which I also love. I can play faster on the wide, flat P neck than on the J style necks (but my music doesn't require me to play fast).
