Precision body with Jazz pickups

[RoboChrist]

I'm interested in seeing pics of p basses with jazz pickups, neck and bridge. Anyone out there got one?

Would that not just defeat the purpose of having a Precision bass?

My old Squier 5 string which I no longer have.

That's a sweet squier. Did you do the defret?

Such a creation would, imo, be considered a jazz bass. Much like the Hoppus sig is pretty much accepted is a precision, despite the jazz body.


Essex used to make fivers that had precision bodies with jazz pickups. I hope to see them again, as I loved the look and regret not snagging one to this day.


((And that Squier is gorgeous, if they came with maple fretboards I'd be hunting one down.))

some folk like the smaller body, shape of the Precision ... besides, the P sits in a fixed/solid stand better

this would be like a Hoppus in reverse ... except I think that actually uses a P neck along with the pups on a J body ...

FWIW, the bridge should be the same for both P and J ...

G&L did it with the JB-2. Slightly smaller than a P, but very close.

^But that doesn't really look like a P bass, it's more rounded...

My Warmoth JJ has J neck, P body (same as my Warmoth PJ).

I've seen some other nice looking custom JJ basses with P body posted here recently:

I too, have the Squier Standard Precision V. Precision body, nice big neck, and Jazz Bass electronics.

I'd love a Precision Bass, Precision neck, with Jazz electronics, in 4-string style. But, I'll rock the Squier for a good long while

Yea. It was my first and only defret. It came out ok, not great.

What is that navy blue color called?

On my Squier P? I believe it's Baltic Blue. The bass is a 20th Anniversary 2002 Squier Affinity P-Bass. I LOVE it!

Here's mine

I think of it as a P-Jazz. I prefer Jazz pickups for a fretless, but I also strongly prefer the shape of a Precision.

I did that to my 75 P back around 1981. Also pulled the frets, changed every bit of hardware... the usual late 70s early 80s ****.
Some of the original hardware s already back on in this pic:

Sold it to buy a 15 lb Schecter Jazz with gold hardware
Bought it back 15 years later and restored it to it's former glory as best I could. I like it better as a P/J.

I am thinking of putting jazz pickups to my 78 p-bass, where could I find the right pickguard for it? Is there anywhere I could buy it or anyone who could make one?
