Long story short. I use to own one of these beasties until it got in a bad way and I foolishly sold it on. How I regret that now.
Because of all my years on that bass, my muscle memory developed to that style of neck. As you know most of the
modern bass favour the very thin 'C' profiled necks which aren't as comfortable for those of us pinching the neck with
larger hands.
So here's my request. Could you post the major dimensions of the neck, so that any future searches will find this
information? The thickness of the neck at the 1st & 12th and maybe the width of the neck at those positions.
This information might help anyone moving from the smaller neck, or seeking the thicker profiled neck.
Thanks - oh and consider this bumped.

This is interesting, I had the impression the Hohner Jack was thicker. Was i just imagining this? 21mm / 22mm is on a par with my slim 'C' profiled bass. There again the actual shape would make a difference too. The only dimension which sets the Hohner apart would be the width at the F12, 52mm is narrower than my existing basses.
