Could someone please post tracings of a 60s Two-Pickup Ventures Bass? I'd like to build one.

Re: Info & Specs for building a Mosrite clone
I'm trying to work up an accurate(ish) drawing of the neck in Photoshop, and have a couple of questions on the measurements:
1. Neck scale, 24 3/4"
Is this a true 24.75" or a Gibson 24.75", which could mean one of several different lengths?
9. Neck thickness at 1st fret (side view) .795"
10. Neck thickness at12th fret (side view) .840"
Does this include the fretboard's .25"?
Once I get it roughed in, I'll start a thread here to get feedback to guide the development, and I'll make the final version a PDF.
Thanks!

Re: Info & Specs for building a Mosrite clone
Danny, just a few questions and I apologize if I missed something here....
4. Neck volute thickness at the headstock is 1 3/8", referring to the area at the nut guide (side view). Does this include the fretboard?
7. Thickness of neck (side view) in the neck pocket 1 3/8" tapering to 1 5/16" heel. This sets the angle of the neck.
Based on an earlier response, this does not include the fretboard, right?
8. The step down to allow pickup installation (side view) of the neck where it fits the neck pocket is 7/8".
9. Neck thickness at 1st fret (side view) .795"
10. Neck thickness at12th fret (side view) .840
Do 8,9 and include Or exclude the 1/4” fretboard?
Ive made two necks based on these specs, the last with an authentic Mosrite vibramute (both excluding fretboard height). While the heel was accurate the neck thickness felt super clunky so I feel like I missed something very important.
