Why oh why, would I replace the neck on my Japanese 51 reissue with one of these ? Does it bolt up to my body ? Anyone got dimensions at 1st and 12th fret ? More baseball batish . Really can not justify price for medium jumbos.

The necks and neck pockets are standard dimensions, so it will fit.
What are you wanting to do? Move up to larger frets? Or larger frets and a fatter neck?
If justifying the price is problematic, flip the old neck on Reverb or Fleabay and recoup some of the cost. You probably will recoup all of the cost (and more) because a MIJ neck in good condition is an in-demand item.

I do prefer the neck on my '77 P. Can't blame a guy for asking . Not sure which way to go. Thank You

SCPBs had a more square heel of the neck than the split pickup basses .

Really can not justify price for medium jumbos. For me when I had a Japanese 51P reissue I loved that neck. It was very fast but if you have large hands I guess I can understand it. Has to be comfortable. I would still have that bass if it hadn't been for that schoolbus yellow they called Butterscotch. It was a good bass but I found for me the tone was better with a Seymour Duncan SCPB-3 pickup. |

I recently installed a Fralin +5% overwound in it. Kind of falling back in love with it. Would like to refin but Third Coast talked me out of it. Devalue 50% or so. Still going to find that sweet spot for that thumb rest though. Thanks you guys

I knew it would devalue but that for me not an issue at the time as I never really considered selling it...Live and learn |

I got one of the first 51 reissue orders in North America . First day they appeared on the website , the store opened at 10:00 , it was ordered about 10:03 . I did put a thumbrest and covers on it and grew to be ok with the schoolbus yellow . Still have it .
