Hey guys,

I'm wondering if it'd be possible to take a Jazz Bass neck and do the white neck binding on the sides of the fretboard. Can a luthier do this sort of thing? I have a Jazz Bass with a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and I'd like the white binding put on it. Does anyone know how that process works? What needs to be done? Has anyone done a similar thing?

thanks

It could be done, but I wouldn't recommend it.
To have a luthier install binding on a non bound neck would probably require refretting the neck and the cost of the modification would probably be more than or close to the cost of a new bound neck Mexican Jazz.

Keep your neck original and if you want a bound neck Jazz bass then buy one.
