J bass with P neck?

[solo4652]

Folks,

I'm on the lookout for a passive J bass (or P/J) with a P neck - I'm used to a 44mm G&L neck. Could be a Fender, could be something else. Any suggestions, please?

I actually did the opposite. A P bass body with a Jazz neck ..... now the bass is P/J pickup config.

I always thought this looked cool , fancied building a bitsa tribute but I really do prefer a jazz neck

Pretty sure that the Mark Hoppus sig was Jazz with Precision neck.

I have an Aria STB-JB which is a jazz bass with good size p bass neck on it, they can be had for £150'ish...do they play like a cheap bass? A big fat no...super hot pups, great build, lovely finish, what not to like!

Mine is a 3TS and rosewood, black ones also around, there is also an active version too n white.

didn't the Mark Hoppus have a P bass pup, no j at all?
More a P with a jazz body

There's some Lulls out there with this configuration.

I also have the reverse - P body & J neck

If you buy American, G&L will put your choice of neck profile on a JB1 or JB2

Well, I'd love to. However, I shudder at the thought of the price!

Yeah, not cheap, but wasn't sure if you knew :-)

A USA G&L with a custom neck is the top of my GAS list, but out of budget for now

Not sure if this qualifies but a Squier Silver Series Jazz has a 40mm wide neck.

Noticed that Frank Bello has moved to ESP now on the cover of BGM, so:

I really want a Precision with a jazz neck... swap shop system, anyone?

[PTB]

I see that Burrito Bass has a Jazz with a P neck up for grabs in the For Sale section.
