de-fret of a phenolic fingerboard

[Guest Jecklin]

Has anyone here had a de-fret done on a bass with a phenolic fingerboard?

I'm rather worried about the 30 odd year old resin cracking on my bass. It's either a de-fret (which I'd prefer) or a re-fret in a couple of years so it needs some work whatever I do.
I'll be taking my bass in to the Gallery for their opinion, but in the meantime any info' from those who have had work of this nature done would be good.


Thanks
