    Bit of a long shot this: I'm looking for a 2nd neck for my fortress masterman 4 string. I want to keep the original neck fretted and de-fret the 2nd neck. I'd consider a fretless neck if you were selling one. I'd like a Wenge neck ideally, but not too bothered. The main factor is that it...

    Hey guys and gals of the fretless persuasion. I'd like to get some opinions on your fretless setups.

    fretkless P-copy frankensteining

    Boebl's post about modding a Squire got me to thinking about the project I have been on for a couple weeks. Starting bass: "pro-star" fretless P copy- this was an East German brand-nice neck but very cheap components. It was originally a horrid red ( I refer to its as "baboon arse"-you think...
