Finished this month a GPB-4 unlined fretless.
Half build by myself in my garage, half with the contribution, tips & wonderful advice received by amazing and very generous people in this forum.

Thanks Simon for taking the time to explain!
Very clear and 100% makes sense. Will introduce this step in my workflow.

I have a question Simon about "Once the neck was flat, I set it in place and ran a straight edge along it so I could see what sort of height I had at the bridge position."

This is interesting, but...

Thanks McCreed and Trevor!
The pick guard wasn't planned that way initially, but it became sort of obvious that it needed a mod as soon as the body and neck finishing were done. The giant white...

As usual I had to remove the side existing fretboard dots, install a set of strings, mark the side dots position, and install my own side dots.
(When you order a fretless neck it comes with side...

This one is taking me a while to build but recently I had some spare time and managed to get a fair bit done.

I'm selling my Nemesis Delay pedal by Source Audio.

This pedal is in immaculate conditions, it has been used only for home studio recordings.

Correct, but much closer to a full scale 34".

The scale of this instrument is 85.7cm, +/- equal to 33.74", just enough to have that high E note comfortable, instead of being 86.36cm for a classic...

Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Over the weekend I've put it all together. Realised that my old set of Daddario strings were cut for a different bass, so I had to use the strings coming with...

After about 6 or 7 TO applications I started sanding from 240, re-applied TO, sanded to 320, and so on to 2000. The last 5 or 6 coats were diluted (50:50 TO and turps).

When I got to 600 i thought...

Ah! gotcha! Now I will starting planting all sort of strange & random objects in the background to mess up with you !! :)

thank you so much for taking the time to explain and for uploading the photo! Appreciate it.
I have a fretless maple neck hanging around for a project and was interested to hear your approach.

Nice build!

I am trying to get my head around maple fretboards, can I ask how you are planning to finish the fretboard?

it looks great!
Nice colors combination, grain and headstock shape!

Beautiful instruments jarro and prodpk! excellent work!

The body has been sanded to 220 grit.

applied a mix made mostly of TimberMate with a small portion of acrylic paint to achieve the colour I had in mind.
sanded to 220, reapplied Timbermate,...

After that I reshaped the neck, to match that curve.

It felt a bit strange to have and ergonomic cut on the body, but having the neck still following a sort of "rectangular" shape.
I don't have a...

Some updates on this project...

After taking some time to think and to research, I have decided to go ahead with cutting the neck pocket for better reach of high notes.
I am very happy the way...
