Fender & Squier Bass VI Help - Neck Widths

For those that can, I appreciate the help.

Would those that own a Fender/Squier Bass VI measure the 1st and 20th fret neck width in mm?

The newest version of the Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI has a 52mm bridge (guitar spacing) and all the older versions have a 55mm bridge. Bridge posts are the same width.

I’m looking to understand if the neck dimensions (width) changed too. If it didn’t, that means I can run a 55mm bridge on my CV.

I just installed a Mustang bridge which is 55mm. Strings run exactly parallel to the edge of the neck edge and strings are about 1/8” the entire length of the neck.

Wondering if I should order the 52mm or 55mm Staytrem bridge. If the neck dimensions didn’t change and it was only the bridge that changed, I’ll order the 55mm. I think I will get used to the tighter spacing of the 52mm bridge, but I do like the tad wider spacing of the 55mm bridge.

Anyway, thanks in advance for the help.
