For those of you who are not sure what the difference between these two instruments is; fretted bass guitars have metal frets
up the neck of the bass (just like standard guitars), but fretless bass guitars have a smooth fingerboard.
Bass Guitar Beginners
The fretted bass will be easier to play as the frets determine where the string stops vibrating, so if the bass is correctly
tuned it will always sound as it should. However, with the fretless, the player must apply more finger pressure than on a
fretted instrument.
The left-hand fingers must exert enough pressure for the string to maintain constant contact with the fingerboard. This makes it
a lot harder to play and achieve the desired end results. As such, a fretless bass is not recommended for the beginner.
Fret Numbers
The number of frets you choose is entirely a matter of personal preference. You can choose between 21, 22, or 24 frets so opt for
whatever you feel most comfortable with.
