This is a bass guitar question, but I'm posting here because more folks will see it and the theory should apply to guitars as well.
Looking to brainstorm some ways to extend my Fender P Bass up to 24 frets on the G string without modifying the instrument... It would seem a simple enough task - find a bass guitar fingerboard with frets 21-24 and shape\fit the piece appropriately - but before I go spending $ I thought I'd check with the knowledge base here. Has anybody done something like this, or seen something similar?
My crude idea so far is to buy a 24 fret bass neck, lop off the top 4 frets, and attach this piece to the pickguard. There would definitely be some shaping of the piece to get the dimensions right. Wouldn't need to be perfect, just close enough for solo entertainment.
