I believe my Ibanez is Medium.

I really like Lakland frets, I think they use small frets.

I suppose the frets on my Kubicki and Hohner are large!

I have some 25 basses. Most of them have frets. I really haven't taken much note of the size of any of them. People seem to concern themselves with the most minute details.

When I was younger, anything that deviated from my main axe was tragic. Now, I have and regularly play so many different basses that I barely blink going from a 7-string, to a 12, to an Ashbory.

The frets never really stick out at me as being a concern.

I think the bass I have that most makes itself noticable for feeling disconcertingly "different" in my hand is my L2 Steiney. Still feels like the big end of a Louisville Slugger sawed in half...

i wish they were jumbo, they are a bit harder to hammer on to from opens than my last bass, which has jumbos, but no need to fret(haha), for i will soon be used to them.

Whatever is standard on a Music Man. I think they're medium jumbo or something, so I voted large.
