jazzyvee Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 What difference does fret height make to a bass? I saw a bass on ebay a while back and it was stated that it has tall frets so I just wondered what effect that has on playability, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 This is worth a quick read. It's about guitar frets but the same applies to bass - https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/fret-sizes-and-materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It's also interesting that Lee Sklar swears by having his basses fretted with mandolin wire, wich I assume is skinny and low compared to standard frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
