Yes that's right. This is the bass in question It has fret markers on the side at every fret which is madness because they're all single dots, the same size

Andy, should I put a cloth over the fretless board to prevent burning and should it be damp in this case also, the dowel holes, I can only really do through the nut slot, that's right isn't it?

I have thought this too

@Andyjr1515 do you use an iron on the fingerboard, at what temperature too please?

how hot does the iron need to be? also, it's fretless, will I burn the fingerboard wood? Can I put a cloth over the board to help

I don't think my guy wants to do it which is why I'm prepared to have a go myself. The bass is pretty worthless as it is

Great video but it's a thru neck

I recently bought a blue Aria TSB550 fretless. It had a seized truss rod. Now it appears the nut at the headstock nut isn't straight and after a few weeks of WD40 down there, still no movevment and we are thinking that it's cross threaded. Even if we get the nut off, it would never go back on. I'm thinking to remove the fingerboard, replace the rod and re-attached the board any hints and tips are welcome and I would like to do the work myself TIA the BC massive

I did it to a p bass USA reissue in 1990. I pulled the frets with pliers, filled with a tube of plastic wood and it worked perfectly These days I would do it differently. I would buy a tool specifically for pulling frets and run a soldering iron accros the fret to be pulled a couple of times

I'm in for the year

if it was my company I wouldn't be putting the Fender decal on it until it had been sold and paid for. Then it's not mine and it was sold with no logo Perhaps I'd pop one on after as a favour to the new owner 😁

agreed and it's so easy for anybody to apply a fender logo to anything my chinese necks come from ebay fully logoed (is that even a word)

I've just looked at the auction and it has been withdrawn fingers crossed for Mark and his customer

it does say Limelight on it and a serial number so it's not passing itself off as the real thing IMO It's a replica not a counterfeit. Counterfeit is designed to deceive people. There is no intent to deceive as it says Limelight on it, therefore it's a replica

There's a thread here. Sorry I'm on my phone and not totally sure if the link us right Someone has succesfully cut them bending the string 90 degrees and cutting Worth a read tbh

northwest stuff is great, I have a bitsa P bass all made from their stuff I've bought a couple (3 actually) jazz necks from ebay, two fitted up well, needed levelling and the third is unused as of yet

yep looking good, well done for a tidy job confidence boosting isn't it

Hey John apparently the Harley Benton flats are very good

I have 😂 on a bitsa P bass that I was putting together. It was the string retainer hole. Im not bothered about it but it was a bit schoolboy

I received a £43 strat with humbuckers and the fret work was excellent, it just needed setting up I got the 7 weeks email too, I don't mind it's chinese new year soon and I know some of our work suppliers do close and we have to get stuff ordered early I'll wait, it's no problem

Go for it Paul. Look forward to hearing the results mate

Was that the pickup based on the early 70s. If so it is the best sounding p pick up Ive heard

actually all their own brand strings are dirt cheaper guitar sets from £1.30!! change them every gig at that price but I've recently bought 50 sets from a closing down JHS so I'm done for strings now might try a set of these flats though

surely no one would ever think of such a thing😂

Having had a few emails with Frank, we have acertained that this wasn't his,as he had modified the side dots
