Replacement Neck for Jazz Bass
Northwest Guitars necks are made from hand selected, A grade North American Maple to ensure outstanding performance. Crafted for ultimate compatibility, our necks are prefect replacements for genuine Fender models, including MIA, MIM, MIJ & Squier. This makes our electric guitar necks great as an upgrade to your existing guitar, a replacement part, or as an addition to your latest brand new guitar build project
Standard Specs
To ensure easy installation and compatiblity we've made our Jazz Bass necks with a 74mm (2 15/16”) wide flat heel, so you'll be sure of a nug fit in the neck pocket of your prized Bass!
We've installed pre-slotted, flat-bottom bone nuts as standard, so great tone is assured (we dont glue these in so they're easy to pop out and shape should you feel the need).
Our headstock shapes are reminiscent of classic guitar models, but are original to NWG.
The Northwest Guitars replacement Jaz Bass neck will give you the same performance and playability of the branded equivalent, at a fraction of the cost.

North American Maple
Our North American Maple is light-coloured hardwood, fine-textured and incredibly shock resistant. Maple is used as a neck wood by the majority of major guitar manufacturers because of its robust nature and its signature bright and snappy tone. At Northwest Guitars we only use the highest quality Maple for our guitar necks, ensuring you get a top quality product.
About us
We've been making guitar necks for many years now, and our Jaz Bass neck is the go to for professional luthiers and hobbyist builders alike. Because they are manufactured in our own factory, we are able to keep costs relatively low, whilst still ensuring a top quality product. Everything is made by hand, offsetting the need for expensive CNC machinery, allowing us to pass on the saving to our customers.
Please Note:
We are unable to pre-drill the mounting holes into the back of the neck for you. This is because we cannot guarantee that the holes we drill will be a 100% match with those on your guitar body.
Drilling holes for guitar necks is quite simple to do, and you can find an easy to follow tutorial here.

Quick delivery and I was impressed by the quality of the woods, which also had subtle figuring in the maple of the neck and front of headstock. Unfortunately, the 3rd fret is slightly raised on the E string side, so it needs to be tapped in and the fret profile checked.
very good quality neck for about half the price of a branded equivalent. almost a perfect fit into my fender jazz bass with this neck being just a slightly different shape than the original fender one. had to do a lot of adjustment to the truss rod but that’s to be expected. very smooth finish on the back of it as well.
i have e-mailed you before asking for more coverage on bass guitars. Now you have done so there is no inclusion of med scale bass’. I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud, but why don’t you communicate more directly with your members and maybe even encourage feedback to positively identify customer choices and probably increase your business.
Thanks, Anthony Guy.
Really pleased with the fit and finish of this replacement neck, a perfect fit in my Mexican precision bass. Really nice figuring on the wood of the neck, fingerboard and frets really well finished and only minor adjustment to the truss rod and nut required to get a nice playing action.
Would not hesitate to buy another one.
