I've got a spare set of tuners and a string tree lying around. I've also got an MIM P bass. How are the fretless Mighty mite necks? Comparable to the fender? Just want to get a fretless without spending too much money (ebay seller has the MM necks for around $110 shipped).

Mighty Mite necks are pretty decent. It should be a direct drop-in replacement for your MIM body. You might want to pm HCBF member Gretschzildjian for details. IIRC he bought a Mighty Mite neck off eBay for a project.

I believe Chris Dax also did this with success.

 

 

bingo....I got mine for something like $100....it was pretty straight forward although I am glad I had had some wood working (cabinet maker) experience because I failed to realize that the neck would have to be drilled for the pocket screws and for the machine screws.

 

That was more than a little nervous for me, but it came out great....

 

I had more trouble than I wanted getting it finished. If I did it again, I'd probably take it to a furniture guy and have hims stain and seal to my preference...

 

just because I only have some many brain cells....

 

the project was a total success, and until I got my Lakland recently, I was on that thing day and night. I installed it on a mexican jazz that had been hot rodded with DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pups and a BadassII bridge.

 

I put some flats on that thing and just love it....I think the neck is a very good quality piece of wood and the ebanol board seems to be perfect.

 

here's a pic of my project...

I put a Mighty Mite neck on my Frankencision project a while back. Was pretty straightforward to do, but as chris-dax said, you have to be a little handy with tools to drill the holes for all the screws.
