You mean the neck and not the fretboard right? Fretboards usually have a constant radius due to how they're sanded. I don't see how you could measure a neck as they are usually a compound radius! Necks are discussed by shape, "C", "D". "V", and such. And then they measure the depth at certain frets.Hey Folks:
What is the radius of the average '60s Starfire bass? I own a '66, and I'm curious how different it is from others. Best!

Are those not fretboard radius guages? Have determined whether the OP is looking for the neck or fretboard radius?You need radius guages. I use these: https://www.amazon.com/StewMac-Understring-Radius-Standard-Stainless/dp/B01HUCLDZ6
You can print a set for one time use: printable-radius-gauge There are others out there, too. Just search and you should find plenty if this one doesn't suit.
Well, only fretboard "radius" makes sense talking about "radius" as you already explained in your post #3 above. Just to explain this a bit more for the OP: The neck shape itself is never uniform in radius. So neck shapes are not given as radius but as shape and thickness at a defined fret (like at 1st and 12th fret). So neck "radius" makes no sense. The below is from the Fender Custom Shop for instance:Have determined whether the OP is looking for the neck or fretboard radius?
