Yeah Turbo! the only way you could turn your base into a fretless is to buy a fretless neck and put it on.

yeah, but thatll probably cost as much as just buying a new fretless.
anyone know a good website for bass parts? like pick ups bodies necks etc. im looking to build my own.
hey seele, did you buy off of musicians friend?

Yep, that's really the only way unless you are going to fully customize it and that would not be worth it on a squire.
Do you have a bolted neck or a neck through bass? Meh prefer neck through myself. It has a much more solid tone to it. If you have a bolt on, then you can just switch it out no prob. Again, I wouldn't attempt to do that on your own unless you are good at repairing guitars. It seems easy but it's not.
Fretless basses do sound awesome! Good luck with it!
Musician's Friend is an awesome place to shop. Me and my bandmates just purchased a ton of stuff from them and it was not only cheap but there is no shipping charge on most items. We got everything within a couple weeks. Still have some Tama tom arms/clamps on backorder. From my experience, I would recommend that site.

The only reason I took the frets off was that it was a cheap Sears bass. I don't recommend that to any bass of value. I had the neck start "warping" some after I took the frets off. If I was serious about making it fretless. I'd see if I could buy the matching piece either fretless or shaving it down to avoid warping. I'm not big into the value of guitars. I'm more about how they sound.

i have a band in development. im still working it out cause i need a drummer and such. we wrote a few of our own songs and stuff and we cover a few songs.
shovelnose is in a band called fear.of.grey. you can check them out at www.fearofgrey.com they are really good. if any of you want to hear any of their stuff just get my aim sn and i can send it to you over their. also if any of you want to buy any of their cds shovel has a bunch of them left. if i am correct they are 10 bucks a piece. its a really good cd. im sure if you want it he would mail it to you. its really good for a unknown band and its a definate buy if you wanna hear good music. i have about 4 of their mp3s on my cpu and they have a bunch of live stuff on their mp3.com website. i think theres a link to it from the main fear.of.grey site.
jack
if you do wanna pick up a cd just im shovel. his screen name is ox859q. hes out of town till thursday but after then if you im him and ask him im sure hed be happy to get his music across the states or nations. i believe he has like 500 copies left.
