I know this has been touched on millions of times but what neck option from Warmoth is similar to a C-shape P-neck w/ a 9-1/2" radius?

I know they only offer a 10" radius for their necks. Which option/combination of options would feel similar to what I mentioned above?

And also does anyone have a Fender C neck (9-1/2" radius) and a Warmoth P(or J) neck?
How different do they feel?


The fender neck shape I'm referring to and trying to achieve is the one on the 60th Anniversary Precision Bass.

Thanks!
 
You should probably direct your question @ Warmoth themselves, they have pretty good customer service. Find the 60'th Anniv P Bass specs on Fender.com and ask them if they can replicate those stated dimensions.
 
Also Warmoth puts steel bars in their necks (still?) and that'll affect the tone, not to mention give you back strain & neck dive. I think they now do graphite, but I don't think they'll ship one without either graphite or steel. USACustomGuitars.com is just as good, but will give you more vintage options (such as no graphite) - just without the LIC By Fender headtock.
