Hey guys, just a quick question about changing out the neck on my '93 MIM Jazz. Could I use a neck with the truss rod adjustment at the heel? The current neck has the adjustment at the headstock. Thanks!

Here's my MIM Standard Jazz Bass, with the original neck (headstock-adjust) replaced with an Allparts heel-adjust neck......

You will need to carve a relief notch in your pickguard for access to the trussrod screw but other than that, the swap was absolutely "painless".

Thanks for the help Retroverbial! I'm pretty stoked to do the neck change now. I'm taking a generic black MIM Jazz with rosewood fretboard and completely customizing it. When it's done, it'll have a candy apple metallic green finish, B/W/B pick guard and maple neck with black block inlays. I'll post the pics when it's done!
