About FretBase
A free, ad-free toolkit for bass players ā built by a bass player, for bass players.
// who's behind this
Hey! I'm a bass player who got tired of squinting at badly designed chord charts and decided to do something about it. FretBase started as a set of tools I built for myself ā because the fretboard can be confusing, and I figured a few well-made interactive tools would help more than another static diagram.
Turns out other people found them useful too. Go figure.
// why fretbase
Most music theory tools are either buried inside a DAW, locked behind a subscription, or designed for guitar players (no offence, but the bass is a different beast). FretBase is built specifically for bass ā free, no ads, no accounts, no nonsense. Just you and the fretboard.
