Wow, so much to like.  Wood selection especially. 

I don't think I've ever seen an ash neck before.  I would guess grain orientation is critical, much more so than with maple which has much straighter grain in the first place.  The 3 pieces certainly look as though they've got lovely straight grain, and the direction of the 3 pieces have been oriented to complement each other.   Lovely job!

My (limited) understanding is that you wouldn’t have a 1-piece ash neck in the same way as a maple neck, for stability reasons. However using the three (or more) ash pieces increases stability significantly.

Again, maybe @skelf can comment :)

I have pretty much only built multi laminate necks the main reason being I can manipulte the grain direction in persuit  of making the most stable necks. So I have never tried a one piece Ash neck so not sure if there is specific reason for it not working. Heavy White Ash is pretty stiff and hard so it should make a decent neck and having built several basses with Ash necks all laminated I have to say I really like it as a neck wood.
