Replacing fretboard on Steinberger Spirit XT-2 with fretless - bad idea?

I bought this as a travel bass; the cool-factor from the '80s had nothing to do with it, I swear. The problem is that I don't just travel within the EU, but outside it to NZ, Australia and the UK (hey, they'll be on the outside soon enough). A rosewood fretboard and CITES are a not-fun...
