All this and I had a Mighty Mite ebony fretboard/maple for my Precision and it was wonderful. Played it w/ roundwounds so had to have it shaved twice due to dents and wear. Still had enough ebony left and it SANG.
I have de-fretted basses before. Not maple, way too much work.
Fretless 4 string, fretless 8 string, fretless Chapman Stick. Ponytail. Place of residence - Middlesex (County, New Jersey)
I don't know what double denim is, but I wear a leather jacket on occasion.

My girlfriend can sing anything. She likes Dolly Parton. We watched "9 to 5" so she wanted to sing it. I start playing along, 1,5,...she starts cracking up. I say, "What?" She says, "You look so stupid."
