Putting a J neck on a P Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a new P bass deluxe but I like the feel of the Jazz neck better. It seems the j neck has 4 holes and the p has 5. What kind of damage would I be doing if I swapped necks other than a new hole in the j neck. Are there any fitment issues other than that?

I've never seen a P bass with a five hole neck before.

The P-Bass Deluxe Special (P/J config) comes from Fender with a Jazz neck.

no problem

No problem I do it all the time. The neck pockets are the same specs. Stock fender necks were all 4 holes at one time.
