It plays like a charm.

I have a general question: I was watching closely to where the string meets the frets when playng and I wonder if the frets worn out and what time does it take to worn out for good?
Not is that I want them worned out, its just I´ve seen very little scratches on the frets. I´ve used the search function but nothing.

Thanks!

Frets are worn out when they are too small to be crowned again. Once they are really flat and close to the board it is time for a refret. Little scratches or even small indentations aren't a big deal unless they cause fret buzz, then it is time for a fret job. I have a Les Paul guitar that has barely any frets left. It plays great, but it I will be screwed once it starts buzzing. Nice bass by the way, enjoy it!

thanks a lot for your answer. With normal playng like 1/2 hour a day, how long will it take to be worned out?

Sorry for the stupid question
