Schecter Model T? Not the easiest to come by, but you could probably grab one for about half the prices quoted in your OP.

P/J Duncan* pickups, with a neck profile much closer to a Jazz than a Precision; you can pay a bit more for an active version, but I've got one of the passives. When I was shopping, the options were blonde body/RW board or sunburst body/maple board - conveniently enough for your criteria! I tried both and went for the blonde/RW model myself, but I remember the burst/maple one having plenty of 'snap' to it.



*not a Byker Grove reference...

Peavey Fury. Made in USA, fantastic build quality, usually described as sounding like 'a Precision on steroids', really slim neck, both width and depth - similar dimensions to a Geddy Lee Jazz, I would say. Because it says Peavey on the headstock you'd probably have £1250 change, too.

I just sold the neck from my MIM Precision bass on here. I purchased a Fender Jazz neck from Amazon of all places, the last Mexican Jazz neck I could find for sale with a rosewood board! I'm still working on the neck, as the frets needed leveled and crowned. The board also needed scraped and oiled, as it had a mist coat of lacquer on the wood. It came without tuners or a string tree fitted, and the nut definitely needs filed. A big step towards getting my ideal bass though, as I've been wanting a Jazz-necked Precision for a while.

Yep - the obvious thing is to buy a P and put a J neck on it.
