Faceache turned up a G4M 12 for not a lot... cleaned up rather nice

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.

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

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!

Thought i'd pop in the refined surroundings of GuitarChat.... I'm usually somewhere between the Bar and the Gents over the road in BassChat.. Just sorted something for my Son, so thought i'd drop it here.
