Hi All! I’m looking to order a fretless P neck for a p bass. I want unlined and I’m looking at the Allparts one and Mighty Mite one. Which is a better bang for the buck? Anyone know where the dots are positioned (Fretted vs fretless location)?
I didn’t see any on classified but if you have one you want to move let me know!

The all parts is probably a nicer neck, although I had that mighty mite one myself and had no issues.
The mite had the dots where the frets would be.
I also liked the ebanol board. It’s like phenolic resin
It depends on which end of the neck you prefer the truss rod adjustment on.
One of my basses has an all parts neck and it’s rock solid but chunky!
The All parts jazz neck was less comfortable than my mighty mite P neck

From a quality standpoint I think Allparts necks are about the best off-the-shelf necks you can buy. If I had to compare the two I would say that the Mighty Might is roughly equivalent to the better Squier necks (which are perfectly respectable necks) and the Allparts are equivalent to Japanese Fender necks (which, IMO, are better).

Whether or not you like the shape of either neck will come down to personal preference. I happen to like Allparts J necks very much; they’re a little bit chunkier than Fender’s J necks, which is good for me. Their P necks feel like Japanese P necks to me. Mighty Might’s P necks have a more modern profile - or at least they feel that way to me.

Neither one is a bad neck but I think the Allparts will be better and that’s a good price. AFAIK both companies put the edge dots where the frets would be, just like on a fretless Fender.

Allparts all the way. I have Allparts necks on quite a few builds and love them. I have one Mighty Mite and doesn't take Rotosounds well, with the truss rod maxed there is still to much relief in the neck.

2026 revisit to this topic:

Are the Mighty Mite fretless necks now available a relatively new product? The ebony looks real, not like ebanol version available years ago, and they even have a nitro finish option

Curious to know if the truss rod nuts are 4mm like previous MM necks (Squier spec, as opposed to 3/16 Fender spec). And just curious in general how these fretless necks are. They look good, and have some nice options.
