Blah! and Pics in a BassChat Tech&Repair post) https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/496955-microtonal-fretting-microwhat-but-sorry-not-on-a-bass/?do=findComment&comment=5264843 When 12TET and 20 or so frets just arn't enough... go 24TET and over 40 frets to play with!

Bit early to tell... i think its the tone and fretted ring that would suit the higher freq of guitar or the mimic of other fretted instruments. Son has a fretless bass that he has got his ear in.

That sounds good. In that case, is there any benefit to this as opposed a fretless guitar? Is it better for tuning and accuracy (or is too early for your son to tell as yet)? I really struggled with fretless bass but strangely ok with upright bass so not sure it would be for me!!

Yes you play the higher frets, the finger pad can squash enough behind the fret. Frets are not quite exactly in the middle - using the magic number / scala ratio, the front half is fractional smaller, like deriving standard fret positions, but, close enough for Jazz half way. The extra positions along with different tunings lend for a turkish Baglama and eastern vibe, together with some odd timings can take your western ears far away Check out KGLW Flying Microtonal Banana album

It over emphasises the shape IMO. It's perfectly reasonable shape, as seen in the OP, before the logo is added, afterwards... not so much.
