Repairing dimple in epoxied fretless board

Recommended Posts

I recently picked up a Fender Jaco fretless bass from the forum and its a lovely bass in general ... but but one thing is irritating me. The E on the A string has a horrible grinding buzz to it. In natural daylight I can see that there is a slight dimple in the epoxy finish (about 3-4mm wide, directly on the 'fretline' and under the string) which is causing this (its either a manufacturing imperfection or a slight ding in a previous owners' hands). Its such a tiny thing that it hardly seems worth taking to the Bass Gallery to get fixed and I wondered if anyone has a quick easy fix. I was thinking maybe a tiny blob of clear nail varnish and some fine grit paper (no idea what gauge)??? Any thoughts people? Cheers Clarky
