Hi Daniel, Thanks for your message in my guestbook.
You can fret the bass string on old staple fretted dulcimers but not like you do on a fiddle (the sound it too dead with a pick - on a fiddle the bow keeps the string vibrating). It is a little difficult to explain but if you touch the string and the fretboard with a noter (not pressing the string to to the fretboard) you can sound notes on the bass string. Have a look at this video from about 11 minutes and you'll get the idea
