Only the chewing gum bothered me :-)

Excellent interview, thanks for posting !

Couple of days ago it was Kate Bush night at the BBC. I couldn't believe what I heard and saw..I had forgotten how amazing she was. I remember her appearing on Belgian tv when "Wuthering Heights" came out (I was 16). No one had ever heard or seen anything like her. Del Palmer had some cool basses too in the footage ..I saw an Alembic and a five string Status.

"Refuge of the roads", the most beautiful fretless part ever played imo...

Tastes differ but to me the German Clover (I own the orange one) or the Bogart brand are the best alternatives.. The Clover Slapper isn't produced anymore unfortunately but the Bogart still is.. Still different from the blue Kingbass I own which is a bit more "trebly" in a way but it's still an fantastic bass with a great response and unique sound. It's fantastic what Rob Green has achieved, he inspired so much bass players with that sound and they weren't really that expensive...rather cheap actually for what you get. Hope Rob gets the best out of this ànd that his health improves. A big thank you from someone in Belgium.

Had a go on this old Midge Ure song..bit more notes but the bass sounded inviting.

Four years after a bicycle accident still having trouble with the fingers of my right hand..two of them are curled which makes it hard to reach for the G and D string and I can't bend my thumb because of a constant frozen shoulder but things could also be worse. This is a hard one for me because of that and I'm missing a couple of notes but I'm glad I can manage this more or less..

Bought the Zon here on bass.chat for a really great price..The seller was very enthusiastic about the sustain and he was right. It's the best fretless I have ever had, beats the Wal imo...better sustain, faster neck, less "work", very light...

Good topic..I had the same question so I'll follow this.

Watched it this weekend....Still recovering from it. Been a huge Beatles fan since 45 years but this footage just floored me..Made a lot of things more clearer. Perhaps some things should have been explained a bit more but Jackson choose not to.. The fact that Harrison left the day after Patty Boyd left him..the fact that Yoko just lost a child. When they finally got to the roof, they just nailed it and they showed how good they can be in stressful situations...

I suddenly realise again why I prefer Jazz basses instead of Precisions..

Found a twin brother of my fretless Pro yesterday...a great sight to see.

Are you sure this is fretless ? (it's my favourite instrumental ever). Always thought it was played fretted and that Bailey could create that sort of fretless mwah because of his attack on a fretted bass..
