Craig,

If the issue is neck depth (front of fingerboard to back of neck), could you ask Alembic if they could shave it down reducing depth and refinish with satin?  I got to check out one of Phil’s current basses when I visited a couple of years ago and the neck depth on his is incredibly thin. 

Another option may be a Spoiler/Persuader, the one I had from the late 80s had a very thin neck.

Lastly, I think you have a Starfire, which have pretty thin necks.  Maybe upgrade your Starfire with Anniversary electronics and AXY/Fatboy pickups.

Hope it all works out and you can find an Alembic or Alembicized option that works for you!
I am seriously considering the Starfire idea. So comfortable to play.

Cool…Mica and company were kind enough to Alembicize my Starfire with Anniversary/AXY and it sounds fantastic, especially through an SF-2  :)

Fantastic! I hope it goes to a home where the hands and fingers match the neck well.

Yes indeed. I have to be much more careful on future purchases.
