Hopefully not if they are smart. It's not as strong and seems like the fit can't be as tight. Also, with a neck graft in the future, this will be difficult to get out easily and re-fit. I have had one Italian bass with a dovetail that had a secondary neck and the fit was terrible. I had it modified to a mortise joint with the neck graft.
