FenderPlayer Series Fretless Jazz Bass Neck, 9.5" Radius, Pau Ferro
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a right-handed Fender or Squier by Fender bass replacement project, this Player Series Jazz Bass neck combines a maple neck with a fretless pau ferro fingerboard. The 9.5-inch-radius board includes inlaid fret-line markers, and the Modern C profile has a satin urethane back for smooth playability. Its synthetic-bone nut has pilot grooves to establish string locations before the final slots are filed. Qualified nut work is required, with possible fretwork, neck-pocket fitting, and setup work also part of the installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the neck on a right-handed Fender or Squier by Fender bass with a fretless fingerboard.
- Fretless setups where inlaid fret-line markers are wanted on the fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- An installation that cannot include qualified nut-slot cutting and possible neck fitting or setup work.
