Measuring frets for multi-scale bass

I can't recall ever seeing this particular question addressed here, and that may be because I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but, that's what we do, right? ;) So, here goes. I'm in the final stages of a multi-scale (34"-35") 5-string bass. I'm getting ready to measure off the fret slo...
