replacing musicman necks

[xcental34x]

I've got a question concerning EBMM's policy on replacement parts. I'm eyeing a Stratus Blue Sparkle Stingray with maple fretboard and matching headstock. I'd prefer rosewood and no matching headstock. Does EBMM's policy of you send it old, we send new part cover this, or am I just being stupid selfish and materialistic??

They will only exchange the neck for a maple fretboard w/ matching headstock.

Even if it is a discontinued color?

Good point. You gonna grab the one in Columbus Patrick???

What do new necks run, ballpark price, for and axis. The neck is rosewood, but I'd like a maple neck instead at some point.

Yeppers. I've been thinking about it and thinking about it. I've told myself I'm only getting two mores basses, one four and one five, and then I'm starting to save up money to move out of my parents home, and I decided I might as well just make both of them MusicMans since I can't decide on anything else, and I love them so much.

I'm pretty sure they have extra paint for such cases.

You cannot change the neck. If your instrument came with a rosewood fretboard, it stays that way. New necks are not cheap, and the warranty is for 1 year to the original owner.

Well Patrick, do you want me to take care of getting the bass to you, or do you want to go straight through everything Musical? Ill be glad to assist in any way that I can.

 

[xcental34x]

It'd probably be easier to do everything through you, if you don't mind. Do they have layaway? If so, how much?

Hm... They's a doings some conspirin'! Hey, Patrick, show us photos of it when you get it!

 

[xcental34x]

Ok. For some nutty reason, I'm thinking of slapping the Rosewood neck from my 92 ray on it.

[TSanders]

Patrick,

Im not sure about the layaway, but Ill check. I should be able to go by there by Tuesday. Ill do whatever I can to help you with the bass. Its a sweet one.

 

[xcental34x]

THanks. I'm hoping it'll work out for me.

You couldn't change the neck or buy a new one. Its to control the amount of fake EBMM or franken-MusicMan basses.

A Sterling neck would not fit a Stingray. The Stingray requires a six bolt neck, and the Sterling is a 5 bolt, with a contoured heel.
