    Doc, remember when I asked you about fret work last week?

    Well if I attempted any fret work my guitar would end up looking like that. :p

    Damn, that should be called the Snaggletooth Bass.

    I have a hard enough time remembering what notes the regular frets make, I wouldn't want to even try something like this :)

    what the hell are Microtonal fret positions and how exactly do they help you to riff out it looks like theyd hinder you to riff out if anything.

    Besides, I think an important skill that every good bass player learns is pitch correction (since it's very often important for us to be dead-on compared to, say, a ****-a-doodling guitarist), even on fretted basses.
    I could see this on a guitar....

    Unless the point of this is to play microtonal Asian scales, which none of us would understand in the first place. :)

    My thoughtmeat hurts trying to figure out what this sounds like. Does anyone have any samples or videos of something like this around? Would love to hear / see something...

    You can play Phill Niblock pieces without a computer using that.
