Single piece vs multi-piece neck

Does anyone know if the Fender AM PRO II's with maple necks are the one piece maple necks? If they were that would make sense they are using posiflex rods in the necks but the rosewood ones are definitely laminate.
 
I have 4 basses that I keep at home. Two have Roasted Maple flat sawn necks, one is a standard maple flat sawn with gloss finish, and finally my G&L has a 4-piece neck (each piece is quarter-sawn). Of the 26 years of owning the G&L, I think I adjusted the truss rod 2-3 times.
One of my roasted necks, I have to adjust once in the spring, and once in the fall.
The other two, one roasted, one regular with gloss, rarely need adjustment.
So definitely the laminated neck never moves. Of the one-piece necks, it depends on what the wood wants to do…
