First time Bass Neck Defret

[Rayzorx]

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of doing a project bass (for my daughter) and she decided she wants a fretless neck. I already had a fretted maple Jazz neck so I did the research and took my first shot at de-fretting a neck.

Here's the link to the video on You Tube. Enjoy!

I'll be doing more videos of the next steps: adding wood veneers to the fret lines, and changing out the dots. I'll post updates as I get more videos uploaded.

Cheers!

or did u buy a t bird and decide to mod it yourself?

if you made the whole thing, do you have any videos of the construction of it?

Rocker_Mud,
Thanks for the feedback! This is the first video I've done with this project, but I have photos of the prep and paint process for the body. You can view them at:

I bought the body from A&D Guitars in Az., and had him route it for the Pbass/Jbass PUPs. The neck I got from Mighty Mite. It was fretted but my daughter has been playing my Godin fretless and likes it, so bye bye frets.

The color and splats are all my daughters' idea.

I just picked up some burled walnut veneer, so I should have another video by the end of the week.
Stay tuned.....

oh man, thats sweet

it particularily intrerests me because im soon going to be attempting making my first bass with my step dad.

not bad for fifteen hahaa

ive got a pretty important question...

he has taken to making bridges without saddles for the strings to sit on

is this going to affect the tone in a major way?

i think it would, but he is convinced it isnt going to

oh, btw subscribed
