#Fretless
Crowfoot #59, the Swamp Witch is complete! Made for my beloved Mer. 30" scale, fretless bass. Chambered African mahogany body, about the size of a 335. Maple neck with ebony board, Lace Alumitone pickup. The pickup paid off big time! Fantastic range of tones through the whole tone knob sweep.

I would really love a fretless banjo. Maybe I should start tutoring again.

The site is below. The first Bass I made is a gorgeous fretless, full scale […]

we need to reintroduce jazz fusion to video game composers, we need to reintroduce the fretless bass back into the vgm ecosystem

Just missing out on a place in my top 10, although this isn't the last we'll see from David Sylvian in my list.

My favourite Japan song that is built on Mick Karn's sumptuous fretless bass lines.

even just ~5 1/2 months in learning violin has improved our pitch/interval detection SO much

the fretless nature of the instrument and its accompanying sheet music basically requires it and also makes you develop an understanding of overtones, which are pitches on the fringe end of individual

I was only a child when it came out, but it was playing constantly: in our house, in my dad's car, on the radio generally. I trace my love of cool bass guitar back to Kumalo and his incredible fretless sound (though I acknowledge Prince probably had something to do with that too).

i like to grab my fretless acoustic bass, put my whole entire music library on shuffle, and play along by ear until i get frustrated. it's an effective practice method, but ending every session by feeling frustrated is something i didn't really think through

I need to do that my my fretless Shergold, but because the body is so light it's neck-heavy ;-)

Sound is ridiculousy subjective of course. Fretless bass is the sonic equivalent of cilantro. (Which I do like, actually)

#5debutalbums8084 Mick Karn - Titles (1982) Mick ropes in various Japan colleagues for this solo outing. As you'd expect, the distinctive fretless bass is front and centre. It perfectly complements Japan's output. Multi instrumentalist in full experimental mode. #MusicSky

Shout to the banjo crew! New (old) addition to the pile of things with strings, an antique fretless short scale 5-string banjo! Had been in a case in my late father-in-law’s loft for 40 yrs, & has sat unstrung in my studio for another 4. Got some strings & yesterday finally set about setting it up!
