build 2 maybe

[mickhardup]

Hi everyone, I bought a cheap bass Sunday for parts or maybe another build, its a spider bass ? never heard of them. Anyway it has pups and tuners a bridge the neck has been very poorly converted to fretless, the body is a plywood thing that has been butchered in the neck pocket, I thought about re fretting it but ive never done that before but it hasn't cost anything yet so nothing to lose, this is were you come in what fret wire do I buy ? this may not happen depending on the state of the neck, it has been filled in the slots with a softish filler so it might clean up without to much hassle because I haven't got a fret cutting saw. I have an old front door that I took apart to make a body but I wont start that until I sought the neck out, ideas and criticism gratefully received.

that's the stupid phone the battery was flat so the flash and the focus didn't work, well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it lol. But the fingerboard has been painted over with a blackboard type paint, it sands down alright but its messy.

As long as the necks straight and undamaged I'm sure you won't have too much problem sorting it out

I think if you get yourself something like a dozuki saw that would make it easier doing the re-fretting
