[quote name='Ou7shined' date='Mar 13 2011, 08:52 PM' post='1161020'] Here's an early 80's Encore I defretted Looks good! Makes me feel a little better about having an Encore

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1160800' date='Mar 13 2011, 06:08 PM']It's not likely. What make is it? [/quote] It's only an old Encore - I only say I think they're just glued on because I can't see how they slot into the neck as with my Fender Jazz. But you're probably right - I'm pretty inexperienced in this kind of thing, hence the question

Just out of interest... anyone got any tips on a fretted/fretless conversion? Instead of seeing this (admittedly awful, but of sentimental value) bass get dumped, I took this old P-bass copy off a friend and decided I'd make something out of it. I'm a pretty big fan of MuteMath, so I figured a fretless P would be rather fun. See: [url="http://vimeo.com/4445025"]http://vimeo.com/4445025[/url] So I've re-painted and re-finished the lot, re-shaped the headstock and replaced all the hardware and electronics etc etc. All that's left now is to get out those frets - Jaco style! It's a rosewood neck, and as far as I can tell the frets seem to just be glued on, but I figured it'd be worth asking if anyone's got any advice before I go and accidently ruin the whole thing!
