Fanned Frets

[-MattMacLennan]

Is there any basses besides the ones that dingwall makes with fanned frets? preferably 6 strings and not worth a fortune?

Not sure about prices, but you could try the patent holder:

From what i got from that site, they only have one 5 stringer thats 2800 U.S. , and the rest is guitars and custom shops

Bee basses are doing some at an affordable price for boutique basses...

Dingwall will have a model available by the spring ( Combistion model) i don'T know if they will offer a 6 string version, you'll have to check with but it the retail price will be around 1000$

AFAIK the Combustion Dingwall model will not be offered in a 6str format, in the first run at least. I suppose if there is enough demand, they will make it available in a 6str format. Then again, I am not Mr Dingwall

Cliff Bordwell might be able to make something relatively affordable if you keep your options reasonable, but probably not less than ~3k-ish. Demand for such a beast is minimal, thus nobody really jumps on mass production.

Bud LeCompte's could be your man! His six stringer lists for under $3k.

Ken Lawrence has produced some fanned ERBs as well, but not at the 3K mark
