josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Had a search but only found topics telling people to buy a fretted neck instead! Just wondering if anyone had an idea of how much this usually costs as a ball park figure? I've wanged off a few emails to Mr Shuker and the likes but no reply as of yet- wondered if anyone had done similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think some fretless basses have quite a flat fingerboard radius compared to a fretted bass so i dont no if that would make an impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have spoken to Bernie about fretting my black one and having a new fretless built and he is of the opinion it will be easier to put a new FB on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 erp... Sounds pricey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 have had an email back from jon shuker and he seems to think a refret of a bolt on will be around £100 as a guess. If I'm honest, I thought it would be worse, thats not too bad in my opinion! Especially as the bass in question is a 6 string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
