Same question here: Any chance to see a fretless version coming soon?

Lined or unlined?

Unlined with the dots on the side at correct place (where the note would be).

[Beedster]

I'd be interested in an unlined fretless Precision neck also. What's the likely timescale and, minor as it sounds, will the heel be pre-drilled to accept neck screws (if not it would mean sending to a luthier to do which is something I'd need to factor in).

Timescale depends on how long it takes to reach the minimum order quantity, fabrication will take a month after the orders are recieved.  The heel can't been pre-drilled because the location of the holes depend very much on where the holes in the body are located and different basses may have holes that are out by a fraction of a millimetre - which matters when it comes to the neck.  However, inserts and neck bolts will be included. 

 

Drilling the holes is relatively straight forward if you have brad pointed drill bits, clamps and a drill press.  Just install the neck in the body pocket, make sure it's a good fit against the longer side of the neck pocket and mark the holes by putting a drill bit or something pointy and the same diameter as the holes.  Then just twist so the end makes a mark in the heel and then transfer the neck to a drill press, clamp it securely and drill out the mark with a brad pointed drill bit that almost matches the diameter of the inserts.  Then screw the inserts until flush, add a blob of superglue to each and install the neck in the body.

Sounds like two might be going to Belgium then!

This might get chaotic with side conversations. 

 

For me, unlined with side dots in the position where the note is (same as @Hellzero)

Thanks Steve, could you offer it as an option as do Warmoth with their 'standard 4-bolt' screwholes on Precision necks?

If I had a template to follow, preferably in CAD I could do it.  But again I'm reluctant to offer guarantees about fit when fractions of a millimetre matter so much.

Yes, it's possible.  I'm going to make fretless and 22 fret fingerboards a no-charge option for this batch just to say thanks for your support and trust.

Still thinking about hitting the button, but have one last question: Is this price shipping included (to Belgium, for me and @BlueMoon ... if he's still interested)?

I’m in and my deposit is paid. We’ll sort out the details as the project moves forward, I reason.

Is the truss rod 2-way, and what kind of a adjustment does it have? Wheel/nut?

Yes, double action and adjustment is at the headstock using an allen key.

Unfortunately I can't include shipping at the price offered, but I'll do my best to find the cheapest tracked option.
