neck swap

Hey all, I've searched and found info somewhat relevant to my question, but hoping to find a definite answer if I can: Can I mate an American Pro II Precision neck to an American Ultra Precision body? Both have the 5-screw sculpted heel that looks identical, but the main part that is a...

So I've got a G&L body with a Moses Graphite neck. I'm not wild about the body (I won't get into that here, but it comes down to personal preferences) but love graphite necks. I've never had a Stingray-style bass before, but somewhere I heard that the 6-bolt pattern used on G&L and EBMM basses...

Can an older 4-bolt Stingray neck be retrofitted to fit snugly into the newer 6-bolt neck pocket? Ernie Ball is sadly not offering a lined Fretless Stingray Special, and like so many, I want what I clearly cannot have. There’s a 4-bolt lined fretless Stingray for sale locally that’s 11 lbs...

Hello! I wanted to know if anyone ever swapped necks on Japanese basses? I have a fernandes Revival jazz bass I would like to change the neck on. Its basically a copy of a early 60 jazz bass. I live in Japan so there are tons of used Japanese basses for not that much money. I wanted to buy a...

I can hear you throwing up in your mouth :) So Jackson makes an inexpensive, VERY short scale bass (28.6") which is appealing to me, but the body is very un-Jackson and I'm sure the pickups are not great. I was thinking about getting one and swapping the neck onto a Warrior guitar body. I've...

Curious. I recently picked up a Squier. I love the body, 50s style precision, but the bass seems to fall out of tune consistently and there are a handful of dead spots on the neck. Now for my question… Is it worth swapping out the neck? (Not financially but tonally and performance wise). I...

I installed a Squier Matt freeman neck onto a 2016 Squier 70s classic vibe pbass. I've screwed the neck in as far as I can by hand but there still seems to be a slight gab between all 4 screw heads and the neck plate as seen in the picture. The neck was a pretty tight fit when I placed it in...

A simple poll about a common subject. I think it varies on an instrument to instrument basis and there are a number of factors at play, mainly fret size and fingerboard wood, but I'm curious to see if there's a common feedback about it. Well, I'd also be surprised if you put a quartersawn CS...

NBD (sort of) MIM jazz bass - very nice and resonant- sunburst body (originally with a fretless neck) paired with a Jaguar maple neck coming from a Jaguar Modern Player (discontinued) line. All stock on the neck (tuning keys need a replacement) All stock on the body appart the addition of a...

Looking at a beautiful EMBB Stingray 5 HH fretless in an awesome discontinued color, but it's lined and I want unlined. Somewhere in the '00s as far as year. Also looking at another EBMM Stingray 5 H fretless with an awesome unlined neck, but it's in a color I don't like. I also prefer the HH...

I have this Mexican made P bass (sat for 10 years in a friends closet) that came in pretty bad condition. I call it my rescue bass because I adopted it. I swapped the pickguard and pickups, did a new setup, but never touched the truss rod. I changed string gauges recently and wanted a little...

Thinking of buying two of them and swapping the necks and nuts. Any lefties out there that would be interested? I'm leaning towards the Dug Pinnick model. This of course voids the factory warranty. I would cover the cost of the swap and shipping it to the lucky leftie who wants it. Knowing that...

I'm thinking about buying an SX Ursa 3 bass and an Ursa 2 neck from Rondo Music and I was hoping to get some input from someone more knowledgeable than myself. Here's the listing for the neck: Link Removed and the measurements: Total length: 33 5/16” Width of neck pocket (heel): 2 1/2" Depth of...

This turned out to be a bit more of a journey than originally planned, but it worked out beautifully :) I have two MIA Fender P's that are my main gigging basses, but I also had a 50's P Classic because it sounded great and I've always had more basses than I need (eight basses at one time is my...

Good day. I own a Fender Am. Elite Precision bass; as i've said in some other posts, the bass build quality is very good for me as well as the electronics. The bass sounds like a P bass also when unplugged and is very resonant. However, unfortunately, I can't cope well with the neck which seems...

Sorry if wrong area to post, but would a MIK Lakland 44-01 neck fit on MIK Lakland DJ4? Would it require any modification? Thanks!

I have two Jazz Basses....a 1986 MIJ and a 1977 Jazz. A few year back I had a complete fret and "neck" job on my 77, it cost a small fortune but the the neck is perfect, problem is that at close to 13/14 lbs its simply to heavy to play out. My MIJ on the other hand is super light weight but has...

i have a mim precision bass i bought about a year ago and I recently bought a mim fsr jazz bass and for the first time i decided to swap the necks just to match the maple body of the fsr with a maple neck ... i did it , no issues other than a small little space between the neck pocket and neck...

Gday, I recently bought a Squier Mike Dirnt tele bass. Long story short, the neck is bowed and the truss rod is 'maxed out'. I have a Squier affinity P bass so have asked necks. The screw holes lined up, but tele neck is square, affinity is rounded. The neck fits snuggley in the pocket, screw...

Gday, I recently bought a Squier Mike Dirnt tele bass. Long story short, the neck is bowed and the truss rod is 'maxed out'. I have a Squier affinity P bass so have swapped necks, they are both the save width and the screw holes lined up, but tele neck is square, affinity is rounded. The neck...

I resurrected an old "poor condition" MIM precision, and I'm really happy with it. Replaced all the wiring, pickups, pickguard, knobs, etc. a really fun project. Of course now that it's giggable, I'm dissatisfied. I've always wanted a black P bass with a maple fretboard. This one is rosewood...

Back in 2001 I bought a EBMM Stingray 5 new. At the time they didn't have the neck p/u option so I got the piezo bridge option just for some tonal variety. And, while that's an interesting toy on a fretted bass, I don't find myself using it much and wishing I had held out for a MM/J style...

SUB Sterling *SB4* to be exact. This bass has a neck with 22 frets, but the status has 21. Rob from sterling said it wouldn't fit, but i think it could. If the necks both have a 34" scale, shouldn't they fit? BUT, i suppose it will only if the neck pocket of my bass ( SUB Sterling sb4 ) is...
