I have a 1997 USA Deluxe Jazz Bass Fretless Neck, 22 frets. Will this neck fit on any USA or MIM Jazz Bass body? Serial # is N7300070. Thanks.

Hi and welcome.

In order to properly fit a 22-fret neck without overhang on a standard J-Bass body you'll need to perform some alterations for obtaining a proper intonation. Those older Deluxe basses employ downsized body shapes to accommodate the 22 fret necks, which are incompatible with regular bodies.

I don't remember, but do the bolt patterns match up on neck to body?

Bolt patterns did match since it's a 4-bolt neck.

The only issue is the Deluxe neck has been designed to fit into a smaller body. Retroffitting a 22-fret Deluxe neck into a standard Jazz body might pose intonation problems since it doesn't have an overhang.
