Maple Bass Neck - Precision Neck

Anybody know where I can get a cheap precision neck for my 4 string precision bass. I would like a maple neck with a maple fretboard. I'm not looking to buy from here (I dont have a supporting membership yet.) I wanna fix up my old P-bass. I don't wanna spend that much on the neck though...
 
I put a Mighty Mite maple P neck on my white Jazz...sweet neck! Look on the evilBay for one- I see them go all the time for under $85. They need a lttle fretwork, as they all do, but mine is straight and true, and it plays like a dream!
 
Ok, another question though... My old P-bass, the neck had 20 frets, but some of the necks I'm looking at have 21 frets. If I buy the 21 fret neck and put it on my P-bass, will it affect anything? Like the intonation, or scale length or anything? Or will everything be fine?
