mik900 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm interested in a cheapish bass with pbass body and a jazz neck with block inlays. Thinking of a Squire... Does the classic vibe 70s P bass have a Jazz neck? The specs on a couple of sites give the nut width as 42? (Isn't this P bass nut width? I thought jazz was 38?) Any other basses that fit the bill? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sandberg Electra? All Sandberg necks are the same - much closer to J than P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Depends how cheap you want it to be. I built exactly what you’re after from parts for less then £200. The latest Squire Affinity basses have a slimmer neck; not quite Jazz slim but still very manageable, less than £200 too. Impressive basses for the cost, if you can do without the block inlays.

yorks5stringer Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The old Squier P-J Standards have a 38mm neck, here's mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of these I'd be happy to sell. Except mine has a hand wound split coil pup and a Gotoh bridge. The original pup is low output. The Jess Louerio pup packs a good sound.

Thanks. The VM PJ has a jazz neck. The CV has a P. If you're definitely wanting blocks then Sire perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
