Millennium and gv neck swap..

Unsure why... When i tried it wasn't as magic as i thought it would be

I have a pair of these. Milly body with GV neck, and GV body with Milly neck. I like the results. To me, the shape of the GV neck is better. The Milly neck is almost too thin for my caveman grip. Maybe if I wore the bass higher, and used "proper technique". What looks like a giant gap on the bass side is actually the edge of the neck itself. It's just a hair wider than the fretboard.

As long as you aren’t injuring yourself, proper technique is whatever feels right and lets you make music people want to hear. I’m reminded of the great and self taught Albert King who, when asked about his legends and heroes, responded “Nobody - everything I do is wrong.”

I think the G-V's neck tilt feature is awesome...you lose that when putting the neck on another model.

Personally I like the feel of the graphite more then wood

I also thought it would give a more metallic toneality to the millenium

I also don’t like the micro tilt because it moves, I’d prefer a shim

^^Definitely agree with this. Micro tilt seems like a good idea on paper. Really it is a solution to a problem that already had a good solution. I have a few basses with micro tilt. None of them use the micro tilt for setup. Shims are used as needed.

Did you know that the G series only had a composite skin, and not a a full composite neck? It's either walnut or mahogany underneath. Take off one of the tuners if you're curious.
