I recently bought this body.
It's an original fender jazz bass body from 1978. If I don't find an original 1978 neck, which one should I choose? The neck joint it's a three bolt one and it has the micro tilt system. My concern is wheteher the neck pocket measures would accomodate any fender jazz bass neck or no. Are the screw holes (or at least the two holes closer to the end of the body) in the same place?

Positionig the neck affects the tunability of the instrument. Doing it wrong would compromise the instrument and the saddles could not compensate for a bad neck-body positioning.

How many frets had the original neck? The scale? Radius?

Thanx for your help!

ooh, that would be tough to find, 3 bolt neck for sale...most co's sell 4 bolt. So you probably have to shell out quite a few bucks for that. 20 fret if it's '78 (right brotherdave?), 34" scale...not sure what radius for the '78 Jazz...Good luck either way. Cool grab on the '78 bod.
.....And welcome to the Forums!!
