How many frets does your bass have?

Asking about number of frets is confusing for fretless players. Instead, we should ask the interval possible for a given string. If you have a fretless, can one string cover 2 octaves? Or how much? 20 frets is one octave plus a #5, 21 frets is 1 octave and a 6th.
