Recommended Posts

Do any of you cleaver folk know if the neck pocket and screw position on all Fender P and J 5 string basses are the same? on 4 strings you can put just about any neck on any body be it MIA MIJ MIM Squier Tokai does that apply to 5's?

Slightly easier one, what's the string spacing at the bridge on a Fender 5?


Cheers


R.

Well, here's a good start to the quest; [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Bass/Options/BassNeckPocket.aspx"]Warmoth bass neck pockets[/url]

Looks like the 'later' models are a different size to the earlier 'deluxe' ones. No mention of Squier or any of the other cheaper variants.

It also says that the earlier ones have the truss rod adjustment at the top of the neck so identifying an early from a late one shouldn't be hard.

It would be handy if someone could tell us the pocket size of a Squier 5 string.
