Franken Squiers!

[ulynch]

BEHOLD! Chopped and diced! Amputated and sutured! The three-way neck swap monstrosities!

Starting with three new Squier Vintage Modified basses - a '77 Jazz, a Jaguar, and a Precision, The white P-bass gets the maple-board white-blocked Jazz neck.

IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!

White pearloid pickguard coming

The black-on-black Jazz gets the Jag neck. It's Jazz-uar !!

Finally, the horror that is a Jag-ision ... Jaguar body and Precision neck. And it's for sale!!

Dig the looks on all 3! How do they sound?

Is all this gear playable from a bassist point of view?

Nice, Love the Jazz-uar

Oh hell yes! I wouldn't be interested in a little project like this if the result wasn't something as playable or better than what went in to it.

All three are very nice instruments. I like slender necks, and even though the P-bass neck was a very well finished specimen, I'd like to stick to the J-necks. Hence, the three-way swap. The only changes I might make from here is a white pearloid pickguard for the P-bass, and - since I already have it laying about - Quarter Pounders too.

Dat P gon' be a bar gig monstah! -but the black PG is very late-70's cool, and I wouldn't change it.

Love the Jazz-uar... What's the difference between a Jag and a standard Jazz neck?

Nothing I think. But I seriously dig the look of the rosewood board with white blocks on the black/black bass with the matching headstock

 

[onosson]

It does look fantastic!

Channeling my inner Larry Graham can't be a bad thing though, yeah? Where's my cap'n hat?

 

[jk3]

are all these squiers necks/pockets made to the same specs so that they are perfectly interchangeable?

I love it! I'm gonna be doing something in this simalarity with the Amber VMP and the VM Jaguar Neck

 

[tangentmusic]

I like the white P with the '77 J neck. It'll look great with a white pearloid pg.

What a strange question. Did I miss something? Didn't he just swap necks around?

 

[Fender32]

I think that they all look awesome (and just that little bit more individual as well ).

Good move !

 

[ko stradivarius]

Ohhh! I wanna play!
Here's a fretless I just finished.
Bought the fiesta red Squier unloaded body and Warmoth neck off TB folks. I added the decal to the headstock. The tuners are from a HWY 1 bass, Nordstrand pups, I built the harness myself, picked up a mint colored 62RI pick guard. Found a hi-mass bridge cheap and strung it with Fender 9050CL flats.
