    Yeah, I have thought I was lucky every time I have heard the composite stuff described. One of my daughters told me the fretboard was the best looking part of the bass. Naturally it's the only part I did not finish ;-)

    I may try carefully removing a fret at the treble end to see how it goes. Right now it has tapewound strings on it, and I had planned to stick with them. At least to start with.

    I'd like to preserve the fret lines once the frets come out if at all possibe. I have some natural colored plastic wood filler that csccdrI like pretty well for other things. Does it make sense to use it on this?

    That reminds me of the time last week that my daughter (almost 6) said "that's the loveliest song you have played". Shame it was just the backing track.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
