I’m not thinking of doing this now, but would my AmStd Jazz neck fit my AmPro Precision body and the P neck on the Jazz body?

Yep! Heels are the same, it’s just the nut width that’s different.

exactly what my bass build will be when I finally drill the mounting holes and tuner holes. 1.5" nut on a telecaster headstock with a rosewood board. only in its second year of waiting
darn good to know!
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

I have J necks on all my P’s! I have tiny little girl hands, so they’re more comfortable than the regular P neck.

I had the reverse with my ‘63 Jazz bass. When I purchased the old girl she had a ‘62 P-bass neck that I removed and attached to a ‘62 P that I was restoring. I purchased a Mighty Mite jazz neck that I had set up for me with brass nut and a tad of shaving for my profile that makes my J Bass one of a kind and totally comfortable as my bass. She may be a bass slut, but she’s one hell of a mean machine!
I'm just the opposite. I like the Jazz body and electronics, (preferably stack knobs) but my hands cramp up if I play the Jazz neck, the P-bass neck is way more comfortable to me. Too bad you can't find that configuration without going with a custom build somewhere.
So I ended up building my own. Basswood / maple top body, fretless P-neck, FEnder Vintage 60's pickups, stack knobs...

I like the Precision neck a lot, but the Jazz neck is better for my twisted old hands. I do think I'm going to leave them as they are. Some nights I'll play the P, others the Jazz. It's not that I dislike the Precision necks; they're pretty comfortable.
