Telebass Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Well, today I chopped in the Pawn Shop Mustang against a used American Special Jazz Bass. Now, I'm no Jazz man, but the neck was just...wonderful. So now it adorns my favourite P-Bass, and the black-blocks-and-binding J neck from that goes on the P-J. So now I have two near-perfect (for me) Precisions, and one American Special Jazz with a Mexican Precision neck! Pics to follow soon! Quote

Telebass Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Just looking at the photo...If I put the blocks neck on the Jazz, it'll be a quite passable Geddy! Quote

[/quote] I noticed you were looking for a Jazz neck to swap for your MIM Precision neck. Are you still looking? I have a Mighty Mite neck I bought recently to replace the Precision neck on my Jazz, But have now realised I prefer the feel of a P bass neck. It's yours if you want it. It's got an expertly applied Fender logo on it. It's from this guy on ebay and looks like this precision neck (except it's a Jazz of course) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lic-by-Fender-60s-Rose-Precision-Bass-Neck-MM2906-/331045142422?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d13d3ff96"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d13d3ff96[/url] Edited October 18, 2013 by gjones Quote
Telebass Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Much appreciated, but after all maple! May just move the Jazz on as is, if I can find someone interested. Quote

You'll need to move those bags of old clothes that you were going to take down to the Oxfam shop in 2007, mind ... Quote
Telebass Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 Ah, I see, Mr Zed! Agreed! Played first gig using the new neck. Amazing! It's a keeper. Quote
