I'm interested in defretting my first bass. It a Laguna LB224. I know I should use a radius sander but I know nothing about them and I also cant find out how curved the fretboard is. So I figured I should consult the infinite wisdom of the TalkBass boards to point me in the right direction.

Radius sander? I thought that the best method is to heat the frets with a soldering iron to take them out. Then filling the spaces with epoxy and a fine sanding paper by hand.
PLEASE search. There are numerous threads on this, and many ways to butcher the neck by doing it improperly.
Using pliers falls into the "improperly" category.
