I recently discovered that if you fret a fretted bass directly on the fret, or rather ever so slightly behind, so that your finger kind of both fret right behind and on the actual fret, you get this quite unique sound that kind of sounds like partially/light palm muting, but not quite, kind of like partially/light palm muting but with harmonics added, kind of as if you get both the fretted note plus the harmonic of the given fret, but then partially muted, if that makes sense, and I was wondering if anyone else utilizes this technique, and if it got an actual name?

 

Not heard of it.  Are you using rounds?

I treated the D and the G with Eucerine cream.

 

This is not something I'd heard of.  How does it work?

Not far from me.

Out of my price range and I am already short of space...

Thanks.  Didn't occur to me to go to the source... 

I bought some strings from Chris.  All went well and I'd be happy to deal with him again.  Thanks Chris

What's the width at the nut, please?

I bought strings from Andy.  Quick, simple and straightforward; I'd be very happy to deal with him again.  Thanks Andy.

I bought shoes from Kev.  All went well, very quick and smooth transaction (I don't think the ad is three days old yet!).  I'd be pleased to deal with him again.  Thanks Kev

I'd gig that as well - In a heartbeat lol

Oh yes. 

I think I'd have to defret it, and paint wiggly fret-lines on it...

Is it bolt-on?

You are right, misread! (Though I wonder if the piezo saddles are still there.)

Are you looking for a piezo, or a B2 specifically?

Steeleye Span.

The Weavers.

Shostakovich, 5th Symphony.

Went for £225.

Fretted, thankfully.

Nice!  I had a BBN5 I will never forgive myself for selling. 

Also I have discovered you can force it to omit some sellers from your searches. 

Not for me, even if I was a Fender person.

You are feeling sleepyyy...

I've got one of these, was playing it last week.  It's very good for its price point; I've got cobalt flats on it, it sounds nice.  If I needed an inexpensive fretted four-string this would definitely be on my list.

I've got one of these.  Nicely built, sounds good.  Heavy!  Mine's got Fender black-nylon tapes on it. 

(It has convinced me I don't really like P-J basses, but that's not its fault )

Yeah, sorry, that was me messaging him to tell him - poor sod is only trying to sell his bass! Thought it the correct thing to tell him of his minor error. Definitely gave me a chuckle too! 

Seems fair. 

I see he's changed the title...  ah well.

I laughed.
