SX neck question
- Thread starter epic!
- Start date
you might get lucky and the holes will line up but the p bass neck will be slightly wider at the heel and may not fit into the pocket on the J body

Believe in absurdities and you commit atrocities
Are you talking about getting a Fender replacement neck..or a whole Fender P bass and changing the neck? Either option would cost you more than the whole SX bass, I would gather.
If you are getting a whole Fender P bass...why would you want to switch out the neck?
Are you looking for a P bass with a Jazz neck width? 1.5" on a P-style body? The Fender Mike Dirnt is a relatively inexpensive model that that has this setup...and a tele headstock! The Aerodyne is a P deluxe with a slim neck too, I believe.

i put an sx jazz neck on an sx p body no problem before. it's going the other way round that was a problem.
Me too. I put an SX Jazz neck on an SX P body and it was too tight in the neck pocket. I had to sand down the sides of the neck and gently work it into the pocket. Also the screw holes did not line up. I had to dowel and re-drill the neck. But it was an awesome player after I was done!
No I dont want a Fender neck...I want an SX P bass, but the new headstocks couldnt be uglier. So im curious if the neck on my SX Jazz that I already own, would fit on an SX P bass without any modifications.
