I miss the Vic headstock, I must say, other than that it's a credible mod. But referring to a 51 P Bass style neck as "effortlessly playable"? I like those baseball bat necks for their fleshy feel, but they are scarcely "effortless". Effortless was/is more the type of neck a Vic has origininally, which is on the flat yet sturdy side of things.
