i love the look of basses without fret markers (dots/ block inlays or other...). but that is obviously not the overriding consideration of selecting a bass.
i have seen some Squire J 5ers, Tobias Toby, and Peavey Grind basses without fret markers (the Peavey actually had some sort of side markers and dots at 24)...
what else is out there with un-dottet boards? |

| | | | Most fretless basses, don't have fret markers.
For other fretted basses, I know Sandberg makes them without fret markers. However, like said earlier, it's a company that is specialized in custom(ized) basses.

Most of the mayones basses and guitars come without any markers.

They simply knocked the ball out of the park with my recent fretless. It's a birdseye maple board with epoxy finish on the board, a 5 piece neck and 3 piece body.
If you've seen this bass 100 times already on other threads, my apologies -- I simply love this thing.  | No way!! Post it again, I love this bass!!
How's the fingerboard holding up? |
