Actually,he said he did not want to drill out the body holes...he said nothing about keeping the fender screws,though possibly he does.

I have seen these used in various basses and would have no problem going with them but I'd have to think that the body holes would have to be widened allow the bolt heads to sit deep enough so that they'd sit flush to the wood.

Some pictures would be helpfull, but here's what I would do based on what you have told us so far.

You're right, a picture is worth a thousand words (unless its a pic from my pos camera phone, then its worth about 700 words).

I think that you hit the nail on the head....

Thanks so much for the advice!

Hey hey.. My first post. I'm a Bass player of 25 years and always just paid someone to do the work on my guitars but I am interested in doing more mods myself.

I did a search and could not find what I needed. I bought a used J-style neck as a temporary replacement for my 78 P-bass. The 4 holes drilled in the neck are too big for the Fender screws. I do not want to drill out the P-bass body to accommodate the larger screws. Can sombody recommend a wood filler or epoxy that I can use to fill the holes on the neck? Is there better solution (without modifiying the P-bass)?

My other option is to forget it (as the neck was very inexpensive) and just buy a cheap Squire body that I could (in good conscience - lol) modify and build out another bass.

Any info/insight would be great.
