nice work Tim going the fretless option. I bet DB had a grin ear to ear ripping out the speed humps.
My next bass build will be fretless for sure, or may look at modding one of my 3 basses to fretless.
I've played a few DB fretless bass's and they are a joy to play

Mmmmm...fretless + sexy red = lush. Of all the colours that I've seen, that red is by far my favourite
Holy snap did the intensifying coat on the Karijini. WOW.
but I am not going to show you that...yet
Have done some work on the fretboard over the last couple of days
dug out the fret markers and dremelled out the 12fret inlay
I am using stone as my inlay and markers
The fret markers used a red and black stone while the 12 fret used red stone.
Some early shots at the moment but so far I is one happy camper
And some 12 fret porn
Cool idea there Tim!
