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
pardon my ignorance. i'm a newcomer to this site and i haven't had time to search the threads for perfect answers to my redunant questions. thanks for your patience and lack of hazing. cheers....
somewhere in the catacombs of the threads lies the answer..i may be able to find a link to help you, but if you want a really good fretless job done..wwww.woodwiz.com/guitarlab/epoxy.htm that's the place to go!
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.
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.
