I have a 78 MM Stingray with a graphite neck. I would like to put a maple neck back on this bass. Since I don't have the original neck, Ernie Ball will not sell me a neck. I have talked to them, had a dealer call them and also talked with a MM collector. No luck. This is a great recording bass and has been on numerous sessions over the years and is also autographed by a well known artist/bassist. I realize now I made a mistake going graphite and because the neck can not be adjusted, the bass does not play as well as it used to. I don't understand Ernie Ball not taking care of a dedicated and long time professional customer. None of the custom neck builders will even make one except one, and that would be a fender style neck and headstock adapted to my particular bass. I am not sure what is going on but Ernie Ball has certainly made, what in most cases is an easy fix, an impossible situation. Anyone with any good answers or suggestions (I check ebay) to this problem feel free to let me know. Right now it looks like a storage box or parting it out is about the only solution and that is sad for me and Music Man, and the Ernie Ball customer relations dept.....
