Fretless Bass Neck Angle

[Moreau]

Hey there,

Im planning out a fretless 4 string bass, and was curious about neck angle. Is there any difference between the principles of neck angles on fretted and fretless basses? Im making my own bridge, and was curious if i should plan for a neck angle. Thanks

How high are the saddles of this custom bridge going to be off the face of the body?

If it helps the Fender J-bass' has the same neck angle (0degree) on the fretless and freted versions, they have the same hardware. Id draw out a full scale plan if i were you, its the only way to know for sure if your using custom made hardware.

Or you can make the bridge customized to your neck angle.
