Ghost Rider Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just a quick question which may seem a daft but here goes… I have a fender squire vintage modified jazz with the black inlays on the neck, is it possible to get them out & replace them with the white inlays found on the Marcus miller bass & if so how is it done & any idea of cost? I have replaced the original bridge to a badassII & bought a preamp & new pick-ups on basschat but I love the look of the Marcus millers… Any advice would be appreciated Anth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yeah neepheid is probably right, it can be done though if you take it to a luthier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Cheers for the advice but the cheapest I have seen the neck is £215 on allparts UK & if I spend that much I may aswell sell the jazz (put it all back to original) & then sell the parts but thanks for the replies.

dub Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) If you really like the sound of your bass as it is, don't do anything to the neck, especially not for cosmetic reasons, if it sounds worse or doesn't play as well, you'll be kicking yourself. Some production line basses are way better than others just by chance, so if it ain't broke.... Edited September 10, 2008 by dub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
