When swapping pickguards on my PB-20 SBK, I realized that none of the replacement pickguards designed for Fender style instruments would fit. The form of the neck heel was differently shaped most of the times. Ultimately, I had a custom pickguard cut for my PB-20.
Now that I want to install a different neck on said instrument, I'm wondering which ones would actually fit the bass with minimal additional work. Do you guys have any recommendations? I would want to have a J-Bass neck. Fender, Squire, China no-name, the one from the HB J-Bass kit? Any experience with this? Thanks!

I put a blocked and bound J&D jazz bass neck on mine, perfect fit.

I put a blocked and bound J&D jazz bass neck on mine, perfect fit. Nice, thanks for your response. So I got to include J&D basses into my classifieds search pattern.
I tried to purchase a HB jazz bass neck through Thomann as a spare part - no chance. I told them I'm having no problem paying more for it than for a complete bass, still no chance. They don't want people to put HB guitar parts on instruments probably not purchased from Thomann. What an insane joke I said and I'm gonna put it on my HB SBK anyways. No way they said. If my SBK neck should happen to break during warranty period, they would send me the exact same neck again but nothing else.
It's stupid. HB guitars could explode in terms of market share if they went a Warmoth route: They got all body shapes and necks available, so why not let people customize these instruments? Europeans don't have any real alternative to Warmoth which is far too expensive due to added customs and taxes.
Yeah, anyway. Which other jazz bass necks do you know that would fit a HB SBK bass? (Gonna look out for J&Ds right now!)
