Which P basses have that baseball-bat jazz neck?

[duke2004]

My new (to me) '97 Fender California Series P (p/j) has a wonderful jazz width fat-as-a-bat profile neck. Surprisingly the 3/4" depth front to back (fretboard to skunk stripe) at nut is pretty much the same as my Lakland. However the two basses have necks that feel completely different.

Not sure if that profile has a name, but curious to know what other models (can be Fenders or Squiers) of recent years have this neck.

Not a recent year, but my 68 Tele has a HUGE neck. Feels nothing like a Jazz, but plays great.

Pbass with jazz neck? The one that comes to mind for me is Peavey Fury. They're on ebay a lot i know.

The Mike Dirnt P (Fender, don't know about the Squire). Just 2mm wider at nut than a standard Jazz, and a "Thick C" net. Total baseball bat. But also neck heavy. I'm gonna sell mine. Beautiful birdseye neck, but I just don't like it. I'm a Jazz guy.

70s basses are pretty fat front to back. 60s are pretty slim in comparisn, maybe even slimmer than the current mia offerings.

I've never heard of jazzes of having a thick c...?

Always a very thin and ( like shape

The G&L SB-1 (recently reintroduced) and SB-2 have G&L's #8 neck, which has a 1.5" Jazz width nut, but has a thicker rear profile than a Fender Jazz neck. It's not a huge difference, so I'm not sure I'd call it "fat bat," but that term certainly applies to G&L's 1.75" nut width necks, which are available on the SB-1/2 as an option.

Try a Yamaha Attitude! Incredibly fat neck with loads of sustain. This neck was based on a telecaster neck I believe and sounds way better than a normal P.

I prefer baseball bat P necks!!

Baseball bats have many different profiles, which one do you mean?

 

[duke2004]

My understanding is that the closest "spec" in this cas is the neck radius (not the fretboard radius), so prob the 7.25 or so on on a mid/late 70s jazz bass comes to mind.

70s all the way.
