It is the Heel, trust me. Eb necks are easier to play for me than Ds regardless. I know all about Blocks and Overstand. I have had more basses modified than most people have owned.
I play on many old basses and have what ever the bass has as far as blocks, necks and heels. Some can be modified and some can't. Staying at under 42" SL maximum is always a goal and sometimes limits the results.
This is another subject but thanks for the thought. Come by some day and when we play together you will see what I mean. Maybe then you might have a helpful suggestion but it has to be for the bass I am playing and not one I would design or have made.
