Where can I purchase a chunky "U" shaped P bass neck

Happy New Year Y'all!

I'm building a Steve Harris replica bass (when his precision was in the Live After Death era blue sparkle).

I'm after a seriously chunky neck, like on the fender signature Steve Harris. I believe this is a "U" shaped neck. It needs to be meaty to handle the 50-110 flatwounds. 

Anyone know where I can purchase one?

Stratosphere in the US stock all kind of random Fender necks, but they're not cheap to import:

They've actually got 3 Steve Harris bodies in stock so might be worth emailing them to see if any of the necks are still lurking around!

I'm not aware of any aftermarket necks with similar specs... Might be an idea to keep an eye out for a cheap used Classic 50s P and break it up for parts.

If you can get hold of a Fender US Standard 2012 - 16 Series neck, these are the chunkiest Precision necks on US Standard models that I`ve come across. Not as chunky as the Steve Harris admittedly, but much chunkier than the previous few US Standard series, there`s not that much difference to the SH.
