White basses - show 'em if you got 'em

Fanned fret system. It makes the tonal differences between the strings less noticable or something. I asked the same question a month or two ago :P

yes...fan fret or multi-scale allows for more tension on the lower-pitched strings which results in the ability to string the bass with more even gauges and achieve more even tension...the result...clearer lows without excessively tight high-pitched strings.
