mashup Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I want to buy a Squier Classic Vibe 50's P Bass but would want to replace the neck if i went ahead with it, but what necks would fit in the socket? I love the neck on my CV 60's Jazz bass - would this kind of neck fit? Basically I'm looking for a CV 50's P replacment neck that would pretty much match the neck on my CVJ. What are my options?

MrFingers Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Normally both necks are perfectly interchangeable, so I don't see any problems by replacing the P-neck by a J-neck (I know a lot of people who did that...), it will change the sound of the bass, because the neck is thinner (less wood = less "phat")... The only thing that's different is the shape of the heel... the '50 has a square back (like a telecaster guitar), the '60J has a round back (like a strat), it will fit, but you'll have 2 gaps at the end of the neckpocket. Just cosmetically, but... They're there. And the fretboard ofcourse: rosewood <-> maple Edited August 10, 2012 by MrFingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashup Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I'd personally prefer an all maple neck/fingerboard but the stock neck is just a little too wide for me. Does anyone make a thinner nut neck that would fit the CV 50's P neck pocket perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Mighty mite necks will do a whole maple neck & f/board The correct model is MM2909 for the jazz all maple size on this link: [url="http://www.mightymite.com/Necks.html"]http://www.mightymite.com/Necks.html[/url] and there's this very good seller on eBay from whom I've bought my replacement neck for my CV 60 Fiesta Red that sells them with a Fender logo on this link: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lic-by-Fender-70s-Maple-Jazz-Bass-Neck-MM2909-/330776184898?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d03cc0842"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lic-by-Fender-70s-Maple-Jazz-Bass-Neck-MM2909-/330776184898?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d03cc0842[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
