This is also where my vote goes, every bass line is incredible.

New Order, Wings, Oh Wonder and my favourite band in the world, London Grammar.

Wow @Hellzero you've had some amazing fretless basses and way more than I've had. Some beautiful basses over the years.

Awesome, thank you and so far the EBS pedal has been great. I nearly pulled the trigger on buying a new EBS Stanley Clark pedal but when @Happy JackJackput his up for sale, I thought it would be a good starting point. I'll probably get the Stanley Clark one at some point. I did know about the pickup level adjuster but I didn't want to start fiddling just yet in case it was more me, poor technique, strings and eq'ing. So I'll keep playing for a bit longer and see where it's at.

You snooze you lose 😂

That's great to read and hear you are coming along nicely. I wouldn't mind getting mine looked at as well as I'm not sure the volume balance is equal across all 4 strings. My journey is going very well. I recently purchased a EBS Microbass II from @Happy Jack solely for the use with my Ibanez UB804. So far so good although I have no idea what the best settings are for it yet so I'm just running it flat. I've spent the last week playing on mine in prep for last nights gig which was an absolute storm. This was a very stripped back version of our band that I would normally be playing fretless on with some effects. It turned out to be one of our best performances to date with lots of positive comments on my playing afterwards, I even got asked by another artists who loved my playing and tone if I would like to play on some of her tracks at some point. I'm a big fan of her music so I was over the moon for her to ask.

Thank you and it was actually your good self who recommended I try an optical compressor for fretless and it has worked really well

The only thing I could find is this and it does list Trevor Barry on bass. https://www.discogs.com/release/8923550-Mike-Moran-Taggart-Music-From-The-Hit-TV-Series

I play fretless and it was suggested to me to try an optical compressor as they are very effective. The Ampeg Optical compressor has great reviews and so I gave it a go and I am very happy. No idea what it is doing but it seems to just sprinkle some loveliness to my tone. Its also very easy to use. Saying that, everyone raves about the Cali76 and I wouldn't mind giving one of them a go at some point but I am very happy with the Ampeg Optical Compressor.

Not only do I have a list of what I own, but also what I owned but also what I want to own

What fretless basses do you currently have?

I wish they made this in other colours, I'm really not a fan of the tan colour.

Yeah, I've not heard good things about the cheap one's. Mine are the Original Single Coil J-Bass 9S and they are phenomenal.

What a brilliant video and the Overwater and Lakland both sound amazing. I have Bart's in my Jazz and they are incredible, I wouldn't run any other pickups.

I like Linkin Park a lot but having listened to a few songs now with Emily, I'm afraid I'm not convinced. She seems to have a decent voice but when she goes screamy, it goes flat and very unmusical to the point of sounding fake or forced. I'm on the fence on whether they should of just started a new band with Emily or not bothered to reform. I'm more leaning towards just starting a new band with Emily and taking away any association with Linkin Park but throwing in the odd version of a song.

Really enjoyed that, thank you. He's done a hell of a lot more than I knew, a bit of a living legend and comes across as a really nice guy.

Well well well, finally someone makes an unlined fretless bass, praise the lord, miracles do happen. Just need Fender to wake up and follow suit and I'll be in heaven. I may have to get one of these now just because its unlined but I wish they had more colour options. Plus, I did play a fretted one once and found it mega uncomfortable but who knows, I may just give it a go.

I have two. My main rig is a MarkBass IV with a Barefaced Two10 and my smaller rig for acoustic gigs and home use is a Warwick Gnome 280w and TC Electronics 208.

Super rare but as already mentioned, the only difference over a standard US Precision is the neck plate and the strings.

My dream bass is one of these but with an unlined fretless Ebony board and Bartolini pickups. So basically a US Fender Jazz or Precision in Sherwood Green with an unlined Ebony fretless neck and Bartolini pickups. Thankfully all within reach and about £2k from the Fender Mod shop. I would just need to source the pickups and unlined fretless neck.

Absolutely stunning, I bet you can't wait to play it, it looks amazing 😍

I have one also and can vouch they are lovely instrument. They are really well made, come with a very high quality stand which I believe is a bespoke Tama or other drum manufacturer product and a really good padded carry case. They sound Double Bass...ish but not quite but that sort of thing. Strings make a really big difference so you may need to experiment. Well worth it in my opinion.
