Fretting an unlined fretless neck!?

[Sibob]

I've got a fretless neck on my project bass, and i want a fretted neck on it

Would it be cheaper to get a replacement neck, or have someone refret it!?

Any ideas?
Cheers

This site sells the tools to do it (but I have no idea how hard it is to do):

I would never attempt it myself, absolutely no woodwork/craft skills at all, and accepted that a long time ago lol

Thanks for the links though.

You could always endeavour to to persevere with the fretless.

Its not that I'm not persevering with the fretless My Shuker EUB takes care of that!

Its my project P-bass and i fancy it being fretted now, its been fretless for a good 5 years, so deserves a change.
