I am thinking about purchasing a Peavey Millenium bass that has a really nice Tiger's Eye quilted finish however I really hate the Peavey necks. If I get a Fender Jazz neck, would that fit the Peavey body? If it doesn't can I make it fit somehow?

No, it won't work without serious modification that isn't worth your time or money. For the cost you could build a warmoth with that finish.

Unfortunately the peavey millinium has a 5 bolt neck, and (as im sure you know) the fender jazz only has 4

Well I appreciate the help. I guess the idea of swapping out the neck is out the door. I really like that tiger's eye finish though. Is it possible to swap out the Peavey pickups for some EMG jazz pickups? It looks do-able to me but I don't know much about this stuff.

Yup. Actually, upgrading to EMGs is relatively painless; there really isn't a whole lot of soldering, unless you go with the upgraded preamps.

How big of an improvement would the pickups make? does anyone know?

How can anyone realisticly tell you???? Each person has their own opinion of tone and pick-ups. EMG lovers wil tell you it's vast, EMG haters will say otherwise. Only youears can tell you how much or little improvemet it would be.;)
