250 for the neck, 50 for the body refinish, 33 for the active emgs (woo!) and the electronics re-do (so the actives will work) and full set-up, etc. is free of charge. :)

^^^ Nope. Its a new custom neck and a body refinish on my Schecter Custom 4 body. And replacing the EMG-HZ pickups in the Schecter with some EMG 35DCs that I got off Steve Lawson :)

Is it just me, or is that neck obscenely wide for a 4 string?

It's just you. The neck would have to be the same width as the original one in order to fit on the body.
