Timothy Lyons Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I'm in dire need of a jazzy sounding bass, but can't stand jazz necks...too narrow. Was going to take a P-bass neck and slap it on a J-bass body...would I have a problem with the pickup positions? Do P-basses and Jazz Basses use the same bridges? \m/ Timothy Lyons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 It should work fine. Once I switched necks on a Precision and a Jazz that I had. No problems. Go for it. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groucho Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 They are interchangable - scale length and the heel of the neck are the same -just the variation in width at the nut and of course -radius/finger board/fret choices to make! More of the problem fitting neck to body will come from choice of manufacturer. I have a 66'Fender P Bass neck on a Jazz bass body for many years - LUV it! Do like jeremyc sez if it ain't broke don't fix it... unless you need the overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
