Jazz neck on a P body?

Both of my P's have 1.5" nut necks. One is a Read Custom neck from his first Model J on a Highway One body and the other is a Read Custom Model P with series/parallel switch, vintage frets and Aero pickup...one of the best P's I've heard.
 
Schecter is making the prototypes for my signature model, as we speak. They will be P bodies, with J necks, and Seymour Duncan custom wound, vintage-y pickups (read: warm, but powerful).
It's gonna be awesome. They took incredibly detailed measurements of one of my basses that I had custom made to my exact specs.
I think it's gonna be a bass that a good part of the bass community is gonna really like.
Stay tuned.

Here's a sneak peak of one of the prototypes. There will be 4 colors total:

Ive swapped the necks on my two Squier CV's and only now play the P with the jazz neck.
Having owned 3 (in total) Duck Dunns i find the CV to play and sound every bit as good, although i dont like Fiesta red, and thats two basses for less than the price of one duck Dunn.
I keep the CV Jazz with P neck as its still a good neck and i use it to practice getting used to the wider neck.

I've done the same thing and I love it. The CV jazz neck is the next best thing to a Geddy neck. Very thin and smooth. :) But mine is the sonic blue. I'm not a fan of fiesta red either.
