You can use this one but you have to drill two new holes for tuners and change the nut.
The nut is held on by a screw so it's easy to swap out with the Dano 6 string guitar nut.

This is the same neck but cheaper. You may have to contact the seller direct if they don't put more up on ebay though.

Here is some more info from Mudfuzz:

This is a pretty easy conversion and makes a awesome Bass VI!

Here is mine:

I just got another one off ebay this week [it came today] I think he had two left when I got mine...
Now if you want a 21 -22 fret then I'd look at other 30 scale bass necks, because as ^ all you need is a new nut and two more tuners...

they will be thinner at the nut then a strat: Mustang, music master[vintage], bullet[vintage] Bass VI [good luck] Squire: Bronco, jaguar bass, mustang.

Actually doesn't warmoth make a BassVI neck now? I thought they did...

they made baritone neck (28'scale) for guitar but I check in the bass neck section, there is only traditional neck (34scale)

and I found this to,

http://www.usacustomguitars.com/neckpricing.html#

there are selling exact samething but with 21 frets and a bit more costly,
but I don't know if they fit well on fender-type body

anyway thanks for the really nice link, really have to know that warmoth made real baritone neck
