That seems to be the general consensus of opinion so far, but I have four P basses and they all have J width nuts, and some late 60's and early 70's P basses had J width nuts. I'm still confused, lol. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the larger nut width is ‘traditionally’ speaking, as the first version and split coil update had this. It was not until the 60s when jazz necks started to show up on them, like you said 🙂👍.

It wasn't until the 60s that Jazz necks showed up full stop. The Jazz bass only existed from 1960 on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
