I defretted this junk bass I had. I used wood putty at first but it didnt set up and someone on another forum told me thast wood putyy does not set up and harden. It is meant to stay soft and supple. So I scraped ity out and used whitr spackle for walls at the recommendation of this person on another forum. Now the fret slots are white. i really wanted something that was wood colored. Should I paint the fret board or should I refinish it with a dark stain close to the color of the rosewood fret board? Please help.
