any dangers of swapping fender necks with a Jazz and P?

[matito]

my two basses fender 1983 62RI jazz, and 72 precision fretless

I been curious about switching necks as i think a fretted precision sound is more what i'm after at the moment.

is there any real danger in doing this job?

I don't think so. See Jaco Pastorius playing his Fender Jazz Bass with a Precision neck here.

Should be a straight-up swap, with the probability of some set-up work - as long as both are 4 bolt necks...

I put my fretless maple neck from a 75 precision on a MIJ jazz body about four years. I recently put a 62 reissue jazz neck on that preceision body. Everything is snog and fits well.

The only danger is to your resale value.
