Yeah i can remember playing an old Hofner classical guitar that had one

My Sandberg's have all had them. It came in handy when I decided to buy a JJ5 to load up with high C as no need to mess about with the nut.

Great basses and a great idea the zero fret.

I always thought a bass with zero frets was a fretless lol.

My Lakland is even better. It has 20 frets

yes, im bored.

I was asking Jon Shuker about a Zero fret when I was commissioning my Jazz neck from him. He said that in his view they're not really needed if enough care and skill goes into setting up the nut properly.

Not saying I understand the pro's and cons for either argument.......just relaying what he said

Si

Hi Guys,

Ive got an hour long video with Roger sadowsky on his basses, setup, pickups, construction etc. He doesnt use a zero fret if im right, each to there own on this one!

Cheers,

Robbie.
