Are 60's style Jazz routs compatible with both stacked or V/V/T configurations

Sign in to disble this ad
I am building a franken-Jazz.

I'm looking at 60's style bodies, new, used, relic-ed, whatever.

Haven't decided it I want stacked knob or V/V/T configuration.

Assuming I get the correct plate and electronics, are the 60's style routs compatible with either configuration?

This body (on eBay) would obviously be compatible with the stack-knob configuration since it's a 62 RI, but if I bought it and then wanted to use the 3 knob electronics, would everything fit?

And - how about plate screw positions and pick-guard screw positions? Are these the same?

This is my first parts bass, so I'd appreciate any knowledge and experience.

As long as there's a rout for pots in the positions where you want them, it's up to you what kind of pot you put in each hole. No problem.

I've dropped stacked knob assemblies into both of my Fender Classic 60s Jazzes with absolutely no problems.

If you use a body with standard routs, you will be fine.
