    Hello & welcome to the forum.
    No, there's no JB neck version.
    Why are you so sure it's even a JB?

    There is no neck version of the fullsize JB (which BTW also does not stand for "Jeff Beck" but for "Jazzy/Bluesy)

    Players such as myself (and manufacturers such as Jackson) that use a JB in the neck are using teh normal SH-4 bridge model.

    From the cosmetics I´d say it´s either "not a JB" or what´s referred to as a "Shop floor custom".

    But the Litmus test of what Pickup it is: what exactly does the sticker on the baseplate say? In lieu of said sticker, how high is the DC resistance.... I´m thinking it could also be a ´59 Neck or a Jazz Neck, as both have often been referred to as the "JB Neck model" by people with lesser knowledge

    They really should make a full sized jb neck that is calibrated to go with the bridge.

    The expression on the faces of the starving millions
    The power of the man
    The fuel that drives the Klan
    The motive and conscience of the murderer
    He's the preacher on TV
    The false sincerity
    The form letter that's written by big computers
    The nuclear bombs
    The kids with no moms
    And the cripple that lives inside of me

    Well the Jazz is usually recommended along with the JB.
    Great combo by the way!
