    The other thing that people have to keep in mine, is that MM, like most good companies is very efficient. Which means, they only make as many neck as they have bodies for. Yes, sometimes they have to make an extra neck or two for a broken one, but that has to be done on an as needed basis. NN manufacturers pretty much at capacity every month, so there isn't a lot of time to do things like make extra necks to sell to the public.

    Remo, you know what, there are a lot of really talented luthiers out there who can replace your fretboard. Ask around for a good luthier in you part of the country, then call and get a quote. They should be able to give you an exact price.

    Or, and here comes the really grat idea, just grin, bear it and get yourself another SR5
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.


    Stingray 5 Classic, coral red
    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...
    Bongo 5 HH, Black w/ rosewood neck
    Heinz The Wonder Bass, going back to Jack...

    Here's a novel idea.

    Buy a used SR5 with a rosewood neck. Swap the neck from yours to the one you just bought. Sell the one you don't want to keep.

    Just a thought. It wouldn't be without cost, but it could be worked out to be fairly inexpensive.
    Starting to think about returning to bass playing in the very near future.
