Mighty Mite Jazz Necks on eBay

.:chuck:. · #1 04-01-2007, 09:34 PM

I've read here in TB that some have had problems installing mighty mite necks on their Fender Jazz's (apparently the heel is too big). I have an '06 MIM Jazz and have been wanting to replace the stock neck with another one with a maple fingerboard and I've see some nice necks from mighty mite for around $100 (my budget). Has anyone had experienced with these necks (preferably on a MIM Fender J-Bass)?

I've installed 2 Mighty Mite necks on my early 90's MIM P-Bass Special (fretted and fretless). The shape of the heel was different than the original neck. Ir requires a router for a perfect fit. I will say, however, that the pocket width and depth was perfect and the necks are a steal at the price they get.

Yeah, i couldn't pass it up--those (near)birdseye-maple patterns on the headstock are what sold me

I just finished buying it right now! I hope installation doesn't go too bad! BTW, it says something about the frets probably needing to be finished...is this really necessary?
