I'd use the strips, then true the board with a leveling block. I'd follow that up with a good epoxy on the board. You should level that as well after.
If the bass is something you want to keep around, I'd send it to HG Thor at the Guitar Lab. He's in Vestal, NY. Absolutely the best fretless conversions bar none. He's one hell of a guitar player as well.
Tell him Derrick sent you and he may get you in faster

Wow the lead time has gotten longer!! He's a very talented individual. It's worth it if fretless is your main bass with a wooden board.
We played together in the 90's. He's an absolute shredding guitar player and has a great mind for gear.

Lol I hear you there. My fretless has an unfinished board so I can control the amount of mwah.
Which reminds me that I've got a little Spector makeover project to start!
Since we share other stuff here I had to add this. We made a special run of Lavender colored hockey tape for the NHL to help them promote hockey Fights Cancer awareness. Tonight is the final night of the promotion and is at none other than MSG. the Rangers have used our tape almost since we opened but this aft this shows up on Instagram and as of now is just a touch shy of 10k likes! I am very proud and humbled!

Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
Okey dokey peoples....recovery has begun.
Cooking lasted all day and there was a ton of food. Back line set up and sound checks started about 1:00 PM. Things were already sounding good then.
Play was a round robin lineup where everyone played in each of the two sets. Local Atlanta bass soloist Darren Michaels performed songs from his CD Cumulo. Ben Titus, most recently from Milwaukee, played selections from his just released (this week) album Finding My Direction. Brittany Frompovich from Lady Bass Music in Virginia killed it with her arrangement of Eleanor Rigby. Trust me on this when I say that I've never heard an arrangement that truly brought the darkness of the lyrics to their peak like this one. Really haunting, IMHO.
Had some awesome guests, too. THand and Furry Monkey both came in for the show, as did our newest CWB poster and a couple of other talented local Atlanta bassists. Last, but not least, my friend Jayson came up from Florida for the show and a couple of neighbors dropped in.
All in all...great show and we will be doing it again soon!
More photos to follow after I get them off the phone and over to photobucket.

No problem, T. This is what my vision of supporting local music looks like and I had a blast. Next time its potluck though.
I'm so sad to not have been able to go, but it's really cool that the folks who were able to make it had a great time, got to hear some awesome music, and enjoyed hanging out!
Eager to see more pics when you have them ready. Hey, Trayster! I'm happy to see you pop in here. Welcome!
