i've recently altered an old squire series (yuck) p-bass to make it a fretless. when i say altered i mean that all i've done is rip out the frets. where do i go from here? i need to fill the slots but i don't know what to use. i've read about some different kinds of epoxys and wood fillings, but i have more trust in you lovely bunch of Jaco-ites than anybody else. anything you can do to help would be rad. thanks again. project_j |

you've all been extremely gracious in your suggestions. HG Thor is a genius (and inspired by Jaco nonetheless)! once again, many thanks from this minnesotan boy lacking resources. |

If you coat the neck...
Regular epoxy may not work as well as a polyester resin type. You can sometimes find it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels craft store. I originally got mine at a boating shop. It comes in two parts. The catalyst was in a very small bottle and appeared to be a watery liquid. Very dangerous stuff, though. |

I'll second the Woodwiz suggestion. HG Thor rocks. And so does my Jazz now!
