NBD! I bought a SX short scale fretless from a member of this forum a few months back. I took it apart and put copper tape in the routings. I was going to do all the mods myself for a learning experience, but I had an accident, resulting in a closed head injury and subdural hemorrhage. That just knocked all the enthusiasm for this project out. I took it to a small shop I've been doing business with and the owner did the job for me, with the parts I bought. I was hoping the shot to the head would have given me SUPER BASS POWERS! 
But, it didn't. 
He replaced the wiring harness with an Emerson pre made harness, the pickups with Seymour Duncans and the bridge with a Babicz bridge I had in the parts box. The strings are LaBella Tapewound Flats. He did a great job with the bridge, as it wasn't really a direct replacement. The original knobs didn't fit the new harness, so he rummaged around and found the black ones that are on it now. The neck feels a bit thinner. It sounds great!
