    I flew to LA with my bass in a gig bag and didnt have a problem. The bag fit in to the longer (in length) overhead bins.

    Replacing neck on my Fender-Pbass

    I'm replacing the neck on my Pbass from a mexican rosewood neck to a maple neck. My question is: Will the hardware (tuning keys etc.) be compatible or will I have to buy the hardware for the new neck? Any input would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
