    I'm hoping to put together a Fender Mexican Jazz body and Fender Japanese neck. Does anyone have experience with this either on J or P basses and if so, is the result good/any problems etc? Thanks TalkBassers

    Sorry, I should have said, it's a 62 reissue for both body and neck, thanks

    A quick update. Put the bass together with new DR Fat Beams, set it up beautifully and it sounds awesome! It's now one of my favourites. Just want to make it a bit more ballsy so a pair of Nordstrand pups on the way and will further update once they're fitted, as well as pics.
