Considering a Duck Dunn P Base (red of course) as my next project.
Heard that some of his basses had a V neck profile as opposed to a C profile.
Anyone ever seen a V neck profile?

A V neck profile isn't uncommon. You can achieve it from a kit with some 80 grit and some elbow grease.
If you aren't used to it, I'd go with a soft V rather than a hard V.

I seem to remember my L Series PBass as having an oval C profile, could be wrong because it was sold over 40 years ago
I once got to play an early 20th Century Gibson acoustic that had a triangular neck profile ie no curves but flat sides coming to an apex down the spine of the neck. Imagine a hard V if they didn't round off the back at all. It was almost unplayable for someone like me who prefers soft C profiles.

Are you aiming to tribute Duck's 58 with maple board, or when he switched the neck to a rosewood Jazz neck?

I think I will go for the original configuration Red 66 P Bass before it acquired the JB neck when it was repaired because the original was bowed.
