Mr Fudge Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have conviced myself that my marcus miller neck needs to go on a passive jazz body. There are a few 3 bolt bodies around that look like they would fit the bill. I have moved 4 bolt Fender necks around with no probs in the past. Obviously the neck has micro tilt system and Im wondering if the 75 or 72RI bodies match up perfectly. My gut instinct says yes, but I wondered if any fellow chatters could forsee any probs. Does anyone know which Fender bodies match 3 bolt, is it just 72 and 75? Does drilling it to 4 hole seem a better idea, or would you drill the body? My thinking is to keep everything original at the moment in case I want to sell in the future. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Why not just remove the active electronics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not getting along with active pups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
