Really? Changing it either way is the same more or less depending on by how much and to what degree of 'permanent' or 'invisible' you want the job to look.

I suggest that to get the best and REAL answers for YOU the Poster asking that you consult the actual Person/Bass Luthier 'specialist' that HAS done this before and will be doing your bass.
