Any mutiscale unfretted players out there?

[Ralf1e]

I like fretless and also multiscale but have not experienced a combination of both.

Anyone out there that does and how have you got on if so?

Be great to get some insight into the ups and downs of it.

The first incarnation of my first self build (Twiggy) was multi scale fretless

I found I could not play without looking at the lines, there being 5 sets of muscle memory to get to grips with, even using the side markers was challenging.  I changed the setup to be single scale length whic I found much better.

I never realized twiggy was mscale fretless so no challenge then as a first build. You are one brave cookie🤣

🤣 She had a zero fret, fretless was easy and angling the zero fret …. Voila a multi scale!

used one of those online fret distance tools to draw in the fret lines.  And changing to single scale was similarly straightforward.
