solo4652 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 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? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I actually did the opposite. A P bass body with a Jazz neck ..... now the bass is P/J pickup config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom in Dorset Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I always thought this looked cool , fancied building a bitsa tribute but I really do prefer a jazz neck Edited November 22, 2013 by Dom in Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Pretty sure that the Mark Hoppus sig was Jazz with Precision neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 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.
