If the neck is still in the condition it was when you got it back (a year ago), take some close up photo's for your own record. A report from your local guy might also be helpful. Then, if you want to resolve the situation to your satisfaction, take the bass back to the luthier and explain why you are not happy. Then ask what he/she is going to do to put things right. That will give you some idea of what to do next. You might also point out that you have a bass on order....That might focus the mind a bit.
