Re: Stringing a lefty jazz bass neck upside down

Should I coat the neck with anything when I am finished? I don't have a Woodcraft or Rockler nearby but I'm sure I can find some thin veneer somewhere. If I had been smart I would have just ordered a fretless neck from Mighty Mite in the first place!

Re: Stringing a lefty jazz bass neck upside down

Well I managed to peice a bass together with a right handed neck i bought on E-BAY. Now I just have to rip the frets off once I find a decent method for filling in the gaps where the frets once were.

Stringing a lefty jazz bass neck upside down

I have a lefty body for a Mexican jazz bass. I want to install a righty neck on it for that Hendrixy look and just to be different. I am wondering if they make bass strings long enough so that the low string will reach all the way to the far peg. Has anybody strung a Fender P or Jazz bass upside ...
