I wish I could own a Jens Ritter Jupiter 6-string, but reality (i.e. my bank account) says No.)Ritter

@bholder If you're not already using that name, you better get on it immediately. I envision band merchandise in your future.Is that your new band name?![]()
I'm trying really hard to like you, but this kind of stuff makes it difficult.

good gawd! Angels Are Real...at least in his world!!
Sorry for the hijsck but I’ve gotta ask - because I started a thread on this a few months back - why? I think a zero fret makes a lot of sense, but they’re not very plentiful or, evidently, popular. I’ve never played one but I don’t know why one would not want to ever own one....A Zero Fret bass.
Many years ago I had a Bass with Zero fret. It had all kinds of problems and a Well respected Luthier/Tech told me that only Cheap basses used Zero Fret.Sorry for the hijsck but I’ve gotta ask - because I started a thread on this a few months back - why?

Nothing cheap about these...Many years ago I had a Bass with Zero fret. It had all kinds of problems and a Well respected Luthier/Tech told me that only Cheap basses used Zero Fret.
So I checked out every Zero fret bass I could find and realized he was right.
At the time that's just the way it was.
Since then some really great builders have started using the Zero Fret but the damage has already been done for me.
I just look right over them and always will.
It's kind of a shame because I have passed on many otherwise nice basses.
Careful, if you say it too many times it might choose you.a mothman bass...
