Basses with diagonal offset frets

[JAUQO III-X]

Here's a pic of my 6 string Dingwall,this is one of my favorite Basses for so many reasons.

Thanks Sheldon

Sheldon, you mentioned making a thin bodied version as well. Are you still considering that?

I've done three prototype thin bodies. They sounded really good. They might be a little too light weight though. I've got to work on the balance. Cases are another consideration too. Obviously keeping the body thickness down makes case choices much easier.

I had a feeling that one needed to go fretless.

It took me a while. Sometimes you can't see the forrest for the trees.

Thanks Sheldon.

Thank you Jauqo.

Hmm, what about maybe using more dense woods in the body for the thinner versions?
