Hi,
I have the above bass, upgraded with new pickups and bridge. It plays really well and I really like it but there's a tricky "lump" in the neck at around fret 3/4 on the D string.
I have tried to get this sorted - it's been adjusted/fret dressed etc and whilst it's much better it's not quite perfect. So, as the neck profile really suits me and the sound is just right for 70's blues and rock, I'm considering replacing the neck.

As I use the bass daily, I don't want to take it apart and measure the neck pocket (mostly because I'm bound to damage it!).

Anyone know the neck pocket dimensions for this bass? It's the Precision Standard with PJ pickups and a Jazz Neck (the one with the body coloured headstock), made in Indonesia SN ICS 09094896.
Or better still anyone know of a good replacement neck?
Many Thanks

Well, I'm not 100% certain, but I think the neck pocket size for the Fenders and Squiers are the same, so I think you could replace it with any Precision Bass neck and it should fit. They actually sell Fender replacement necks on the website, but I don't think they offer ones for Squier. I've heard Warmoth is supposed to be good, too. The thing is the cost of some of these might even be more than you paid for the Squier in the first place, if that's an issue.
