Novax® Necks

Get the FANNED-FRET® Advantage

Novax Retrofit Bass Neck

The Novax® Fanned-Fret® Retrofit Bass Neck fits most production series Precision and Jazz basses and many clones with no permanent modifications to the body. This Fanned-Fret® neck offers these advantages to the player:

Accurate tuning and sparkling clarity
The scale length is optimized for each string. The fret spacing is adjusted accordingly for each string providing superior intonation and clarity.

Balanced string tension
The longer scale length yields a greater tension on the low strings and a correspondingly decreased tension on the high strings for a more even feel across the neck.

Even tonal response along the entire neck
Dead spots are minimized and each string speaks with a unique harmonic voice.

A low E-string scale length of 35 inches
Size matters! One extra inch of scale length gives you a better-tensioned low string and clearer harmonics. This scale length allows players the option of B E A D tuning with solid, well-defined tone.

Smaller head stock
The smaller head allows your bass to fit into your current case.

22 frets

Truss rod adjustment at the head for convenience and accuracy
