Amazon is currently selling the Fender maple Precision to Jazz conversion neck for £211. At that price it was rude not to take advantage and buy one to convert my 20+ year old bitzer from a beautiful unlined fretless into something I could actually play without causing people to grimace.

 

The neck is coming tomorrow, but I wondered if anyone knows what tuners it is drilled for? I think I have a spare set of the hipshot lollipops that come with JMJ & vintera 1 mustangs, plus a set of big 70's style hipshot lollipops — I hope either of those sets will fit without needing to redrill as it will save me tens of minutes.

 

The bass currently has an unbranded generic alnico pickup in it which sounds fine, but I know I'm likely to want to get an EMG Geezer for it.

 

Do the frets typically need much fettling with these replacement necks? If so I can take it to the Gallery (or more locally, Feline in Croydon) but it would be nice if it is fine out of the box.
