Hi,
I'm am sorry if this has been answered before - i looked around and i couldn't find an answer.

I love the look of the new '74 jazz with maple board and pearl inlays. So i will probably get one. But the binding goes over the frets. How are you supposed to level and crown the frets? (Same question applies for the discontinued '75)

And when it comes to re-fretting? I can imagine this would be a pain to do nicely.

Are you supposed to grind off those little bits of binding that cover the ends of the frets?

The originals were not made this way, and neither is the Japanese made Marcus Miller Jazz.

Is there an official how-to?

Cheers

Take care of your bass and you will never have to re-fret it.

Stay away from Rotosound strings.
