J-bass neck on a P-bass body?

I think it does. I have seen a Marcus Miller Jazz with a P bass neck, so I'm guessing that a J neck fits on a p body. I'm probably completely wrong on this. I'm sure someone has a better answer than me

I have a bass that consists of a '57 RI P bass body and a '62 RI J bass neck.

 

Buy a Lakland Duck Dunn sig. model. It's a P-bass with a jazz neck.

 

you would need to know who/where the body and neck were made. if you have a MIM Fender body & neck, it should be just fine. if you have a CIJ Fender body and MIM Fender neck (or any other kind of mix-n-match collection between the two basses), you may need to do a little neck pocket surgery to make them fit

all the best,

I have 2 basses that are P bodies with J necks. There are a few exceptions (like Tele bass necks or some Squire bodies) but they are mostly interchangeable.

 

Second the Lakland ...

This is the USA version the photo thumbnail is from last nites gig ...

... A great and very playable combination ...

 

Amen Bro.....that was what I was going to suggest...

 

I drool EVERY time I see your bass!!!!

more napkins please....

 

it fits, it's a common mod.

 

My P-bass has a Jazz neck and it works great, as said earlier just make sure they match first.

 

I go the other way.
P-neck on a jazz body.

 

Jaco did it. Jazz neck on P body. So it works.

 

Lakland will do it.

 

Anybody know what radius the neck is on those Laklands?

 

yes - BUT will you be as happy?

seriously - I know Laklands are VERY expensive overseas....good luck with the conversion and we NEED pics when it is done.....BTW - will it be blocks or dots on the fretboard?

 

I have a MIM and a MIA P-Bass Special, both have the jazz neck and the P-bass body. Here are pics of each. The black one is the MIA model.
