If you have a straight plastic bar or any other dot material
* Measure the diameter of the rod, find a matching drill. * draw a cross in between all the frets where there's supposed to be dots. Where the X is is where to drill. (you meant on top of the fingerboard or the side? no big differance) * Use a hand drill or a machine on sloooow. * Check how thick the fingerboard is, say it's 8 mm. You could settle for 2-5 mm I don't think it matters so much as long as it's not too deep. * Put a bit of tape at the deapt you choose, say 3 mm, to mark out the distance the drill will take out. * Drill at the X until the tape says it's deep enough. * Clean the hole and put a drop of super glue in * Stick the rod in the hole and cut at the surface with a very sharp knife * Sand it down * Done If you by accident move the drill so it becomes larger than the rod, use sanding spill mixed with glue to fill -------------------- My bands homepage

I would really like to have dots on my bass but that drilling job sounds frightening to me!

Do you really need them ?
I have really small dots on the upper edge of the neck but no on fretboard..I find it a problematic when playing live on poorly lighten stages when I can't see those upper dots..In other situations its cool
