What would you do? (Fretless P Bass content)

Fretless, of course. But that board might need refinishing.

 

It would only take a few minutes to switch necks and set up.

two weeks fretted, two weeks fretless, and alternate on holidays.

 

Definitely a good thing to learn, because even if you're slow about it like I am, it's still the fastest way to get things just how you like them.

 

There is wonder working power in maple fretless.

 

I voted fretless, but I prefer fretless.

 

1) Return the original fretless neck to its body.
2) Bask in the good karma
3) Briefly consider buying a loaded body for the fretted neck so you have 4 (!) basses
but then realize that (1) is what you really want.

 

One thought OP, I think putting Fretless in the title drew the attention of more fretless players (it’s the only reason I clicked)... May be worth considering as you’re looking at the vote counts.

 

You're absolutely right, putting the original neck back on it is the dumber option. That doesn't change the fact that you should absolutely do it, haha! Fretless maple fingerboard Ps are just about the coolest damn thing in history. Put the fretted neck on your Jazz and you'll have both again. Also, give GHS Pressurewounds a try on that monkey. I set up the local university's maple fretless P that way years ago when a bunch of my friends were still going there, it was in the top 5 most glorious playing and sounding basses I've ever experienced.

 

Obviously, it's what he really wanted to do anyway.

 

You put fretless in the title, you're going to get all the fretless guys on your thread. And it looks like we are all voting for the fretless option.

 

Keep frets 1-7 and lose 8+?

They all seem like good options, I vote "carrots".

 

Return it's original neck and play it Then build another one if you want a fretted P.

 

Sell me the fretless neck.
