Dudgeman Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Got a friend looking for a cheap bass for his son..Been offered a fully made up Precision Body and he has found a jazz neck on Ebay..would make a very cheap bass..Anyone know if they fit together as standard items? I know the Jazz neck is much thinner at the nut but don't know how that translates at the body end.. Anyone know if they are compatable? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks[/quote] If they're both Squier then yes, they should fit. A standard Jazz neck fits a standard Precision body. But there are a few qualifications. First, you should be OK if you're using Fender, Squier, or Fender licenced parts (eg Mighty Mite). Other parts, it is worth checking they are built to normal Fender dimensions. I had a non-Fender Strat neck which needed a bit of sanding to fit a standard Squier neck socket. Second, I'm assuming you're talking about standard P body and J neck. Remember that some of the deluxe models are not standard (eg 24 or 22 fret necks) and 70s reissue Jazz necks are 3 bolt so would require some extra drilling. But if the neck is a standard Jazz neck you should have no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yep if they are both Squier then chances are they are compatible.... certainly nothing a bit of sandpaper wouldn't be able to sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudgeman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes both squier and both standard..will check the fret number. Thanks guys as always.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just to add another positive reply. My Squier CV P has my CV jazz neck on it and its a perfect fit. Then again, both are from the same range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
