Maher Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hey, i have a Squier P bass and i really like the neck, but im not a fan of P bass's so i was thinking can i just buy a Jazz bass body and put the P bass neck on it? im guessing its not going to be that easy? anyone know?

bluespresence Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 The short answer is yes........Fender does make a P bass neck that fits the J bass pocket. They also make a model that has the P bass neck and the J bass body with P & J pickups because you're not the only one that feels that way I don't remember the model offhand but I'm sure someone here will.

bluespresence Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 printless_fingers Posted on Nov 30 2004, 11:11 AM its the mark hoppus (blink 182) signature bass You got it.....I found out the Hoppus only has the P bass p'up in it though. Easily remedied with a router and a bit of time. You could install a J along with the P. I was thinking the opposite of his request.....the Deluxe P Bass special.....it has the J neck, P body and a P and J p'up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 The only diff between a P and J bass neck is the nut width. That said, the necks are interchangeable. I don't know is Squier has different neck dimensions, though. Neck pocket specs for a J or P bass can be found at the Warmoth site: http://www.warmoth.com/bass/options/option...neck_pocket.cfm If your neck matches those specs, then you're good to go! Oh, and you're not alone on preferring the P bass neck with a J bass body. I like it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
