Nop. Someone gave me a Squier Jazz. It's cheap but plays nicely but I thought I'd have a go at tarting it up a bit. I had a few bits lying around - bridge, tuners. Thought I'd get an upgrade neck and I get a 20% discount from Fender because I'm a student (?!?!) lol!

Hmm. Jazz basses tend to be short scale. Might make intonation tricky
Good luck though! Sounds fun

Also (and I'm sure you've checked this)
The neck pockets of the Squiers (and the mexis, for that matter) are sometimes different to the American ones, meaning the necks won't fit. Worth checking

Jazz scale length is 34"
pretty standard, and Fender and Squire are interchangeable up to the high end elite jobs or those mid-late 70s ones with 3 bolts. I'll try in a bit but should be fine.

Sam Fender is much younger than John Squire though, he'll probably last longer.

Is this some kind of sex thing?
I don't understand.
