Geddy of all people wouldn't like that neck.

IME, the thicker the neck, the better the tone. The same applies for uprights, by the way.

I have to agree there...I'm playing a sixer again (huge neck), and I think the whole bass resonates, not just the body.

No doubt neck thickness has an affect on tone but IMHO thicker isn't necessarily better. I've never cared for the tone of any bass with a very thin neck. OTOH none of the thick-necked basses and guitars I've had were anything special in the tone department. There are too many other things that affect tone, hard to pin it down to one factor.
