Let's talk about how much we love good basswork; specifically, mr. jenkinson's finest hours: For me, Tetra-Sync (off Ultravisitor) and Smedley's Medley (Feed Me Weird Things) really do it for me. Any other good ones? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
By Smedley there, I mean The Swifty. Ehem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anything by Jaco Pastorius. ;) oh, and btw: that Tom's bass solo in The Swifty sounds VERY much like Jaco's one in Havona (off Weather Report's 'Heavy Weather') |
||||||||

i read somewhere that jaco pastorius "de-fretted" his bass with some pliers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

actually, that is true. I did the same on my Fender-copy. I have a de-fretted 4-string Fender-copy (a Vester). And then I have a black, 4-string, '84 Aria Pro II Heritage Laser Electric. And last but not least, my newly bought mahogany-brown Cort 5-string Action-bass (which is a fucking good bass for the price btw). |

i wanted to do it but i was afraid i'd fuck shit up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did fuck it up...besides removing the frets, I also painted it, so it sounds terrible. On top of that I had to reconnect the electronics...sigh but It was a blast anyway :) |

That is truly horrible!!! |

It's the Rainbow Bass - constructed by Carl Thompson for Les Claypool. It doesn't get much better than that... 6 string fretless... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't really care who it's made for and who by. I think it looks horrible! |
||||||||
|

I can't say i like the stripes, but damn that is fine looking. I saw some fretless six-strings on google... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there there... no need to fret by the way does anyone know where i can find the tab to "everday i love?" |
||||||||

I've been thinking about getting a 6 string. No time soon, as I need some more gear first... but Id like to get a 6 string, and not have a low b. Id want to have a high C, and F. That would be sweet. Do chords, and more melodic stuff. I get bored playing a bass like a bass. Just basslines etc... I like to use it more like a solo instrument, or do chords and/or melodies. But yeah. Bass = Good. |

|
painting it can actually fuck up how it sounds? does it change how the wood resonates or something? |
||||||||

I've always wanted to get a bass, especially since I've played guitar for 5 years, bass comes very easy for me. I jam on my friend's very nice Fender Jazz Bass (the real, American made kind that costs $800+ and actually sounds good enough to carry the fender name, unlike the crappy korean ones) a lot, tearin up bass solos just comes easy for me, as it should for anyone who is used to playing on tiny strings (aka guitar). Bass is easier than guitar for me because the strings are farther apart and the frets are wider... not to say that I'm BETTER on bass than on guitar, but I fuck up less on bass... |

Mick Karn (previously of Japan) is another good fretless bassist. But that solo on Tetra-sync pwns all. |

is a good place to start. Try out a bass somewhere, and borrow some books and movies at the library on the subject |
