Best Answer

When playing fretted notes, place the tip of your finger between both frets. The higher of the 2 frets determines the pitch that the string creates.

Additional advice for experienced players: on the lower, wider frets, keep your fingertips pressed about 3/4s of the way up the fret instead of in the dead center. This produces the best tone and minimizes string buzzing.

How do you find the frets on a bass guitar?

Frets are marked on the bass guitar the same way as they are on the electric guitar or acoustic guitar. Metal lines run across the neck. If you're talking about a fretless bass then you shouldn't have to ask this question. It would be a big mistake to try learn the fretless bass before the standard bass. The frets are in the same positions but you should instinctively know where your fingers should be before advancing to fretless
