Warmoth J-bass 20 fretter neck.....

[boon]

Hi, I just registered here. Will I have any issues using a Fender American Standard P-bass body with it? How about a MIM body? I thought Warmoth uses Fender's universal sizing with the neck pockets, but I just want to be sure. 

And anybody know of of luthier in New England who can set the neck and install a nut for me? I'm in central Mass.

Hey! Welcome to the forum.

There is a section on Warmoth website with the information you need:
http://www.warmoth.com/Bass/Necks/faq2.aspx

Basically, take the measure of the body you want to use and compare with the ones on this page. If it matches, it'll work.

American Standard is ok and as far as I remember, MIM is ok too. Better check, thought!

Thanks tele. I don't have the body yet, so I'm still dreaming it up. Seems like the Am Std is the way to go for me. I guess I'll call Warmoth to be sure the neck will match, and I won't have any probs accessing the truss rod. If not I'll go with a Warmoth made body. Thanks for the link- I missed that somehow.
