I gave my Precision a makeover

I think it looks great! 
My usual "issue" with P basses hasn't been the sound, it's been the feel. I like the way a jazz neck feels. Many P necks are just too chunky for my preference. This solves the problem nicely.

Nice, thanks for sharing. This my PJ/Jazz neck.
C'mon, if that's wrong I wouldn't wanna be right!
Some may say this is an abomination but I found a good price here on a 70s jazz neck with hipshot tuners (unused) I couldn't turn down so I grabbed it. So what do you think, are the block inlays just wrong on a P? I would have preferred dots but I actually like them.
Of course I added a tort guard and also put a Fender pure Original 63 pickup in. This pic was right before I put LaBella DTFs on it.
So now I feel like a total lemming but in all honesty I am a jazz bass and Dingwall guy about 90% of the time but I really needed a P-bass for, you know - that tone.

I had a 68 CAR P bass with a 66 J neck with inlays for about 20 years.

Funny enough I took a chance on a cheapy on Amazon and it actually is a really nice guard. I can't save the link from my app for some reason but here's a screen shot.
No problem with jazz necks on P basses, nor with blocks and binding. I just built the black Pbass.
Looks great. Maybe I should swap necks with the 2 basses in my avatar and buy some faux block inlays, lol.
