I spent a little time on Talkbass yesterday. I hated it. So... boring. Or just plain rude. I love you dudes and dudettes

So I've officially decided that I am in love with playing fretless now... I thought it was going to be really hard to play the Kramer when it came, having never played a fretless before, but it really is a nice challenge and good practice for me. I actually messed up more and hit flat notes when I was LOOKING at the board

Yeah, fretless is delicious. Wanted one since I started playing bass and always put it off (for one reason or another)

I was looking at a gorgeous Modulus Quantum fretlesssy badass the other day at a local shop. Just.....MMMM.

I'm really thankful that this one has the fretmarks at least, I think I'd be totally lost if it didn't, however.

And I noticed when playing that it's definitely got more of a PWUK sound to it when I pluck the strings. It's a really interesting sound. And so smoooooooth to slide

Have you tried sliding harmonics on a fretless? One of the perks fretless dooders get to have..... it sounds so great and a LOT of fun.

No I haven't tried that yet! :animal:

I got to play the Kramer for about an hour last night before my mom went to bed. I won't get another chance to play it (or really be home for that matter) until Tuesday night but I will definitely try that!

Do you just hit a harmonic and then slide with it?

excane · Post by **excane** » Sat May 26, 2012 12:39 pm

Yep. Just google a little Victor Bailey and sliding harmonics and youTOOB should pop up some awesome vids.

skullservant · Post by **skullservant** » Sat May 26, 2012 12:40 pm

YESH. I'll have to do that.

I'm really affraid at the moment to turn my big head and cab up past 2 at the moment with my bass. It's a guitar cab and on 2 I can hear the speakers begging me to stop whatever I'm doing. BUT IT JUST DEMANDS TO BE LOUDER DAMNIT

and Tony Franklin (duh) he does some INCREDIBLE stuff with sliding harmonics
