Not enough definition to make a diagnosis. Needs to be addressed by someone with a good eye...and straight edge.

Lay a straightedge from the 12th to the last fret and look for a gap under the straightedge at the 15th fret. If there's no gap there's no ski jump.

I checked it with filler guage, 0.006 inch(0.15mm)
Is it tolerable gap??

Yep. That sure looks like one. It shows best on the edge views. The heel area is straight, then there's a kink around the 10th-12th fret, then the rest of the neck out to the nut is nearly flat. That the characteristic shape of a Ski Jump/12th Fret Kink.

If it's not giving you any trouble it's OK. But if you are trying for really low action and it is buzzing above the 12th fret, you can deal with it by levelling the frets from 12 up.

Maybe. Your best approach is to keep the bass well-adjusted. It will not prevent it from getting worse, but it reduces the risk some.
