Sambrook Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) [attachment=118271:DSCF1230.JPG][attachment=118272:DSCF1231.JPG][attachment=118273:DSCF1232.JPG][attachment=118274:DSCF1233.JPG][attachment=118275:DSCF1234.JPG][attachment=118276:DSCF1235.JPG]This was an experiment that has worked quite well. I wanted to defret a bass without leaving fretlines. Here's what I did: Defretted, then filled in 7/8ths of the fretlines with walnut wood filler Sanded the board, then stained it with Ronseal black ebony woodstain Sanded again, then filled the ends of the fretlines with maple woodfiller Coated the board with Rustin's plastic resin finish This has resulted in an unlined fretless board with 'cheat' lines on the top edge, and very hard wearing. You have to look quite closely to tell it's not the original finish. It sounds great with La Bella flats on, although I'm selling it with some budget rounds on. I want £100 delivered for this. The bass itself I got on here from Mr Foxen in exchange for the Wishbass with woodworm. It's in excellent condition. I'm having trouble uploading pics. I will email them to any interested parties, and try to fix the problem meantime. Edited September 18, 2012 by Sambrook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
