dannybuoy Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I second leaving it alone. If you're going to buy a new neck and pickup, you may as well get a body while you're at it and end up with a new bass! Quote

Cant help but feel it's a bit of a shame to refinish the body. Id say it will effect the value in a downwards fashion.... So you cant sell it, but you don't want to play it as it is..... Can you get the neck re-fretted? Quote
wateroftyne Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 If the neck is fretted, you'll need to bear in mind that the dot markers will be in the wrong place. Quote

And I don't want another bass.... see the problem? The neck is the only *real* issue, the "can't/won't play fretless" problemo Quote
