Best replacement Jazz necks

[BassApprentice]

Hi everyone

I've got a Squier P Bass Special (a P Bass with a Jazz pickup at the bridge and a Jazz neck) in the house and while it's a great little bass to have I've decided to give it a wee upgrade, new electronics, bridge and probably new tuners, (ok so it's basically an overhaul).

Just wondering what people think the best replacement necks are for Fender/Squier basses? Are Warmoth ones really worth the money?

Cheers guys!

SO basically your keeping just the body. Prob better selling it and buying a new one. Wd parts necks are nice and so are Allparts ones and little less than the Warmoth ones. but your still speaking of 150 quid or more.

Good call and welcome aboard.

If your going to change it that much, try a second hand Mexican PJ and sell the Squier. Might cost you less.

Mighty Mite necks are well worth a look too.

Yeah it was just because I like the green colour of the bass but I have just found an old Squier body with P & J rear routing on eBay near me so why not try a refinish as well! Ideally looking for a flamed maple neck but we'll see how it goes price wise.

+1 to this, fantastic necks at around £105, there's a guy (Dave) on eBay who gets hold of them every month or so and you get a choice of what Fender decal you want on it at no extra cost.

PM me if you want his email address.

I've owned Allparts, Mighty Might and Fender necks. The best of the lot was the Fender. You can buy replacement Fender necks these days from online shops but I recommend buying from stratosphere, which is an U.S. Ebay shop, because they are from disassembled instruments, which means the nuts are all pre filed, which won't be the case with other online shops.
