I gave my Precision a makeover

[Cardsfan_69]

The neck on the red Power Jazz Special is faux blocks for sure, but I like the way I can see them on a dim stage better than the small side dot and it was a very easy to reverse attempt. If I went with Luminlay or similar it would require drilling on my #1. As far as neck swaps, do what you like.. you know, whatever floats your boat.

Nice Pazz.

Sweet, and I like the block inlays! Although I love tort, I think you should have a perl pickguard that matches the blocks and doesn't have the truss rod groove on it.

Late 60's-early 70's Jazz necks are my neck profile/aesthetic of choice. Well done! Welcome to the dark side.

Looks great. Maybe I should swap necks with the 2 basses in my avatar and buy some faux block inlays, lol.

Lol! I dig your style!

i love a jazz neck on a Precision. I had mine done up like that for years but recently I got a new Jazz body so the neck went back home.
Hey you are in good company- Duck Dunn famously had a Precision with a Jazz neck too.

I agree that would look good too. I don't like the truss rod access either but for $14 bucks I figured I could live with it!

Looks great - I'm the opposite, jazz necks are too narrow for me. If I needed a jazz bass for anything, I'd put a P bass neck on it. As others have said, that's the great thing about Fenders, make them work for you while still retaining the iconic tone and looks.

Works for me.

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.
