Ta [/quote] Depending on how bad your frets are, you may need a levelling file and a fret stone too. I bought a whole refret kit from Stewmac after I defretted my Fender Japan Jazz years before. Refretting wasn't as hard as people make out and it was a great learning experience. I refretted the neck, sold the bass on ebay with an honest description and they guy who bought it said it was a great neck. Everyone's a winner. http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Essential_Tool_Kits/Essential_Fretting_Kit.html Edited February 1, 2015 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I purchased a mini plastic tool - search on ebay, they are about £8. It works very well and does not take too much off at once. Local hardware stores often have diamond sharpening stones 3 for £5, check the flatness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
