Thanks, and sorry for your troubles (I had nothing to do with them),

That was the best shot I could get with my camera and lighting. But if you look, I drew magenta lines along the fretboard in the first image. The low E side has a massive lump right in the middle of the neck. It's very clearly not level, and not even close to level. The high E side, however, is basically a perfect straight line, how it should look when you sight down a neck. This neck had .012-.014 relief at the time too, I had just measured it.
look at the magenta guide lines in the first image and you'll see. it's a big image so you may have to pan over to the right to see both images.

Your close up photos are so blurry they look like abstract art more than a guitar. As a photographer, I thought I would enjoy the challenge of figuring out the photos but eventually I gave up. Did you take those pics with a phone or a dedicated camera? Whatever you used, you should learn how to focus it on the exact spot that you want to be clear. The closer you are to a subject, the more important good focus becomes.
The last photo is very clear but your camera is too far away to demonstrate the problem very well. However, it does look like the action of the low E string become high at the body. Classical guitars are made that way because, with classical music, higher notes aren't played on the 6th string. I don't know about bass guitars.
