I used the stewmac fret puller kit, it was very easy plus it was on a cheap Squier so pulling with heat and special pliers was really easy. No damage. I don’t know if I’d have the same at ease feeling pulling frets from my MusicMan or usa Fender, lol

Not quite finished yet, still waiting on the Les Claypool gold EMG pickups, but all the rest of the bits are done. Thanks to @Al1885 for the inspiration.
I have to say the red/gold thing looks much better in person than I thought, really love it actually. It was a toss up between this and a white/black tuxedo theme, glad i went out of the box a little. Will post when the pickups get installed.
Hipshot tuners (finally)
Ray Ross bridge (very unique)
Optima 24K gold strings (very bright)
Gold screws, strap locks, string retainer, knobs, neck plate added as well.

Honestly. I don’t like that Gibson style of bass but what you did makes me want one! Gibson should pay attention

Oil over stain, there is a reason why it’s a classic finish and you showed exactly why.
Love it.
