Reggaebass Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’ve got my eye on this, my question is, it’s a 22 fret neck, would it fit a us precision body I’ve got or would the extra frets make the scale length wrong or are the frets shorter https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303952545819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Pm the seller and ask for the scale length...if it's the same as a 21 fret you should be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I'd be astonished if you can put that on a body designed for a 20- or 21-fret neck. You'd have to move the bridge or rout the body. The key to it is keeping the scale length the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thinking about it, I don’t know why I want the extra frets anyway, I don’t go above the 5th 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Measure Nut to 12th fret... then double it for scale length. Can't see the pics, is the extra fret on a body overhang? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It looks like the extra frets are an overhang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 And this one, I’m wondering if the overhang might stop the heel fitting the neck pocket depth if it wasn’t designed for another body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah. The overhang doesn't look to be a fret's worth, to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
