A Question...

Hey Kirk

In answer to that...

I use the dots all the time on the fingerboard. On a four string bass, it doesnt matter to me if they are there or not. On a five or six, I need them. Two reasons: It makes big position shifts on the fingerboard easier for me, and second, my eyes are failing me. When I look at the fingerboard of a multi-string bass I often see double the number of strings. The dots give me a good spatial reference with some depth perception.
