Exile252 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm thinking about making a custom bass, Though I'm not sure what the fret spacing should be for a 36" 5 String neck. Does anyone here know what would generally be the best fret sizes all down the neck? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
