Now for my two cents re: fibreglass resin.. Don't do it! It will gunk up your strings like crazy and may actually make the FB tacky to play..

Oh No!! Don't be telling me that Phil. Before I went down this road I researched the Pedulla Web site and they use Polyester Resin to coat their Fretless fingerboards. In the past I have repaired surfboards with the stuff and when it dries, it feels hard, dry and as tough as nails. I can't imagine it feeling tacky.

Are we talking about the same stuff?

I don't think that untreated Rosewood will stand up to the rigors of bass strings that well. I was intending to use flat wounds, as I think that the round wounds chew up the fb over time.
