what's the deal regards flatwound versus roundwound strings? I hear some say that flatwounds damage the fretboard, is that true?

I've bought a secondhand Yamaha RBX250 that I'm thinking of having defretted as i'd like to go fretless one day and figured learning on a lined version is the way to go. I'm living in Holland and have be quoted 95 euros to have the work done. Pretty good as one chap in the UK quoted me 200 pounds! My question however is it better to buy a stock fretless than defret a fretted guitar? sarah

I've just bought my first bass - a secondhand Yamaha RBX250 that's missing a cover on the volume knob. I understand this bass has plastic control knobs so looking to replace with something sturdier. No idea though what size/type I need though. Would welcome some advice.
