I was wondering, I've heard the early pre earnie ball basses have thinner necks, is this true or hardly noticeable? 

 

Also the spector euro has caught my eye and sounds great, I've just no idea what the neck is like.

In my experience the pre-EB Stingrays have a very shallow profile akin in shape to a shallow capital D.

 

It's a while since I played a Sterling, but it is Jazz width at the nut, but not really a typical Fender Jazz profile as such. Regardless of the nut width, more recent EBMM basses tend to be a bit more chunky front to back than the vintage basses. I think they make them that way to aid stability.

 

The Lakland 44-94 / 44-02 basses nail the vintage MM Stingray neck profile very accurately in my estimation. If you can get your hands on one to try that should give you some idea if it would suit you better.

I've gone through a few basses recently trying out different things and my favourite is a Warwick Streamer LX German Pro Series. Lightweight, slim neck, PJ, comfortable, pretty and sounds mega. If forced to slim down the herd I would start with that as my keeper.
