Hi, After the acquisition of my beloved S2, I sort of have a redundant Fender MIA Jazz. I'm also on the lookout for a fretless, and my original plan was to ditch the Jazz and buy a dedicated fretless. However, one suggestion that was put my way was to keep the Jazz and instead buy a replacement neck - by far a cheaper option! So my questions really are: 1. How straight forward is it to install a replacement neck? I do have a local luthier if needed, but it would add a bit to the cost. 2. What sort of fretless sound can I expect from a graphite neck? My preconception is that it may be a bit too 'bright' for fretless playing, but would this necessarily be an issue if EQ'd properly? Has anybody actually A/B'd a graphite fretless against a maple/rosewood fretless? Thanks in advance! Mark
