ou'd probably need some kind of crane to hold it up and a robotic arm to fret the notes, but holy god would it rumble the fillings out of your teeth.

...but?

You say that like a bass held by a giant robot arm would be a bad thing, when it is obviously the beginning of the end for every spotlight stealing guitarist ever.

I think you meant "and holy god it would rumble the fillings out of your teeth"

On a serious note, I have a couple of questions. I've been considering getting a new bass, something fretless maybe. But if I go fretless, I want something with a nice hard ebony neck, cause after I took a look at the grooves my friend's strings ate into his rosewood fretboard, it turned me off to fretless for a long time. So, because I need to do everything the hard way, here's my deal.

I want to buy a Vintage Modified 70's Jazz bass, and slowly swap out the parts. In particular, putting in a warmoth neck. Anyone around here have any experience swapping out the necks of basses? Does it have any kind of effect on the instrument outside of having a new neck? Like, would say, the tone of the instrument be negatively effected?

I was thinking about doing that, but I'm just kind of afraid of putting together a bass from the basic parts. I feel like I'd screw something up. How hard is it to wire everything together? And would I need anything aside from a sodering iron and a screwdriver, since the Warmoth stuff all comes pre-drilled?

Warmoth necks are not pre-drilled.

Haha, guess I'm hosed then. I'll probably just look around for something else. Thanks for the heads up, guys.
