O.K. Heres whats up. I need to change the neck on this bass. I just bought it in June. I ordered it in Feb. of '06. I orderd it with a 1 3/4 neck with a 12 inch radius. I want to send it back to G and L and have them install a 1 1/2 inch neck. The thing is, do I have them put a rosewood or maple fretboard? Do I bother with GOT? Only if I get another maple board. Maybe a maple board with a satin finish. What do you think?

Well, the original neck is too big for me. You want it? Are you serious?

Sorry to burst your bubbles.

L2K owner has 1-3/4" neck that is too big.
SB-2 owner has 1-1/2", but wants 1-3/4"
Have you two considered simply swapping necks? Could save both of you some money.

Well it does void the warrenty for starters. Also, who says each neck would interchange? I have a six bolt neck.
