Took alot longer then I thougt it would for someone to post that pic. Honestly though, how the hell do you do such a bad job unless you use a dremel and are a complete idiot. If you can pick up a file and move it back and forth you should have no problem.

lol, it almost reminds me of like play-doh or something.

What type of bit you using on your dremel? Are you using a rotary tool? The only way with mine is to use a smal sander on it and it's like 1 cm big.

im using the smallest sanding bit they have, its like .5cm wide. im scalloping my bass, and it fit perfectly in ther 20th fret (the highest one i have).

Ahh, I see now. Does scalloping really make a diff on bass? I mean most of the time when I play with my bass I'm not really using the higher frets.

is there a tutorial to scallop the higher frets on a bass?

There's a tutorial on project gutiar for the higher frets on an electric but it would be teh same for bass.
