Hi Mike,
where is the gap (can you post a pic?)
You might find that the gap will be covered with the scratch plate, so possibly not a big problem.
If you really want to make the neck fit perfectly, you may need to get out the Dremel and very carefully work on the neck pocket.
I had to do a similar thing on a P bass that I built, have a look at the P bass thread link in my signature below. There are a couple of pictures.

My first build was also a JB-5RF ... I still love it! Hope you have a great time building yours!!
