@JohnFHebert The lower the note being played, the better they sound as scale length gets longer. It keeps a balanced tone across the fretboard
-
@JohnFHebert The reason is to keep the string tension even between strings. Ever notice how the higher strings feel tighter than the lowers on a bass with standard frets? With fanned frets, the lower strings have a longer scale length than the higer strings.

@fmmgl fuck!

@JohnFHebert I've seen guitars made with frets like that and the reason for THEM is when you play chords for example an A chord it will ring true whereas the frets on a regular guitar playing the same A chord are slightly off tuned. Hope that makes sense lol. I would GUESS that it's the same reason that bass is like that.
-
what I'd like to know is the logic and reason for the frets being that way.

Damn, I forgot to check out the music shops of Paris when I was there... I did manage to find some shops when I was in Madrid, Spain, but those bastards would NOT let me touch anything without a proof of income! I thought they would at least let me play something because I look like a Spaniard...

@banny998 I got my first dingwall a couple of days ago. 3 minutes to get used to fanned fred systems. I'm playing faster than on a normal bass now

That farty bridge pickup sound has been on
the Fender Jazz before Jaco ever picked up a
bass. I hate when that sound is allways associated with Jaco, like it's somehow forbidden
territory. Anyway .... :)

@JohnFHebert Number one thing that comes to mind is the ergonomics.
Allows a more natural wrist movement on each end of the neck, instead of forcing your wrist to keep straight.
I played on one a while ago, and while strange at first, it became a LOT easier, REAL FAST.
Super natural! I mean, after just a half hour with it, my basses felt obsolete and awkward feeling.
