alembic1989 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to convert a fretted carbon fibre neck to a fretless, in the same way as a wooden neck...and is it more expensive?

Dazed Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Is the fingerboard carbon? I believe Status have done it on their own basses. Usually a wood fillet is inserted where the fret would be. I don't think that would work on a composite board though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 It's potentially for a Status headless 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The answer depends on the way the neck is engineered, but frankly your safer bet is to sell the fretted item and source an appropriate fretless version. At the very least speak to Status about it before going ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
