Sounds just like as if he had put new strings on the Funk Machine...

A fretless stick could be very interesting and tempting... Not such a bad idea.

I'm in that process since a few months, Russ. Really thinning down the herd.

Maybe.

Surely : https://www.freewayswitch.com/

Here are some of mine, I really don't like lined fretless basses because you tend to play with your eyes and not your ears. De Gier Origin Deluxe Fretless 6 Ernie Ball MusicMan StingRay 5 Fretless Fender Precision Bass Fretless 1970 Fender Precision Bass Fretlessised 1978 Laurus Quasar SL 190 Leduc MP 628 SF AA Leduc MP 631 SF Leduc MP 628 SF MTD 635-24 Fretless Nexus Gom Jabbar Magellan Fretless 6 Noguera Fairplay Fretless 6 Noguera YC Signature 8 Fretless Paul Lairat Gabriella 5 Fretless Stradi Symphony Bass #6 Most of them have gone...

This. With a guy called Thundercat on the bass. And the two following records, so 4 discs. This guy is really prolific. And this, certainly the best jazz album of 2019.

Was about to say it. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

But in the end, it will be the same.

Could you please merge these too, this will be completely nuts ? I wrote it on a piece of paper and put it to the bin, but it appeared here. After all, it's the same, no ?

They'll be jealous at TB, because it's even madder with all threads merged. Comments at the wrong place makes it even more nonsense. Makes me think of Stop posting without reading. Genius idea, Moderati. But only 4 pages...

I'm the shame.

... Whatever the song is.

Metal snowflakes do hurt more than snow snowflakes, but they sound better for jazz.

Exactly what I wrote above. You must be in the wrong thread 😁 :

I like to sound like myself, it's better this way, methinks. That said I've always loved the sound of Shri Sriram and his music (yep, another fretless player) :

Trust your sixth sense.

He is (technically) right, your passive bass has a high impedance output matching the impedance of the passive input. When going through a preamp or a pedal, this signal becomes a low impedance, so has to go to the active input to have input and output impedances matching. You should have trusted him, because of his background. It's like not trusting the surgeon saying he has to put back that finger that you stupidly cut with your very sharp new knife. That said, you can live with one finger missing as you can live with the wrong input, it doesn't make a great difference...

But do you see dead people ?

Wrong and mostly even, so they sound mostly the same. 😀
