    Also, I was told that the body on these is swamp ash or ash but I am not convinced by the sound. I think it's a great sound I just can't place it though. Anyone know about this?
    sb14 is basswood

    ray34 and ray35 is swamp ash

    how about just pulling the frets, filling the gaps and then do the jaco thing.. epoxy the whole fretboard?

    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    That would be a much easier way to go. Less chance for disaster.

    The first time I played a SB14, I thought it would make a good fretless.

    I'm a left hander who plays right handed, so I guess that makes me confused.
