Microtonal bassists?

Well now that I'm getting back in the music scene in Austin, Texas
(finally!), I'm looking for ideas. I play fretless (converted) 6-string
electric bass (and yes, I'm under the influence of Les Claypool). I want to
specialize in 53-tone, maqam-inspired alt rock/jazz/blues grooves and solos.
My "signature" is the 0-90-180-270-360 trichord, repeated every 498 cent
fourth, which includes the "blues" minor third and the neutral third.

So where should I look online and on CD's first? And sorry if this post
seems spam-like...

I should mention -- 53-tone solos, but 72-tone when playing with fretted
guitars and keyboards, for obvious reasons.

It doesn't seem spam like. It's strange. Why wouldn't you want to
have your own ideas?

First of all, my apologies for the excessive quoted text from a previous
post that I could've easily deleted.

I mean, how microtones can be represented in musical forms not usually
associated with microtonal music, especially rock and pop. Blues and jazz
are obviously predisposed to at least 7-limit.
