Carvin 5 neck with a Fender 5 Body
 

Are the new bolt on Carvin necks compatiable with a Fender 5 string body? I like the Carvin neck dimens: 1 3/4 inch nut and 3 inches at the last fret ie. 19 mm at the bridge.............I also like the fact that Fender styled/type bodies can be purchased fairly reasonably and accept the longer J pickups that you see for sale more on Talkbass Classified's. Carvin bodies use the Fender 4 string bridge size..........I already have Aero pickups in the traditional Fender length.

Any thoughts about putting a carvin neck with a fender body?

the thing to remember with Fender is that you can look up on Fender's site for the neck width at the 20th fret and compare with the dimensions of the Carvin. I believe the SB 5000 neck is supposd to be very close to a Fender 5

Interesting. Would like to see where this goes.
