Years ago I wandered into the local Border's bookstore, and this CD was playing - Michael Hill's Blues Mob. I asked the kid what it was, and bought a copy right there. I'll bet you've never heard of this band.
A conversion neck is one that can convert an instrument from one scale length to another with no other modification. A common conversion is 34" to 32". By overhanging the 20th fret, or leaving it off, you can use the stock bridge location on the body, just adjust for intonation. Such a neck will work on any standard bass body. A conversion from 34" to 30" requires overhanging two frets, or losing one or both.
