Nice Le Fay on the right. 😉

Almost 3 years later, I sold my JP Basses Zia Hollowbody Piezo 5 fretless to Bernt and this time it arrived the day he started his holidays. Be careful and don't throw it in the water, Bernt. 😉 Cheers! 🥂

Again, the best answer, this is the only reason I use powerful amps, my favourite right now being the brand new GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Combo 800 Watts coupled to the GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon 112+ cabinet. Lightweight, powerful and clean.

No hesitation, especially for the price: Tonerider, as good as any boutique pickup! https://tonerider.com/product/jazz-plus/

Go to any luthier, it's a 2 minutes job to change the nut and put some graphite grease on the thread. Reliable, fast and easy.

Back home for good this time, thanks Vincent aka @Rollo for letting me buy it back!

Where are you in Spain @Rayman ?

Is this guy a relative of the other lunatic... https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/325698689437 https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/325698689458 https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/325698689468 Amazing!

You are lucky, it's was raining cats and dogs from the kennels a few weeks ago in Spain.

So a new concept a headed headless with the head on the body. Wait a minute, it's not new: https://reverb.com/item/660208

This has been discussed in at least 3 thread that are all 3 here:

Try the brand new GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon dedicated Combo, not cheap for sure, but lightweight at 8.8 kilos (hard to find lighter and so powerful). https://www.thomann.de/gb/gr_bass_at_cube_acoustic.htm There's also the Acus For Bass model, but it will be heavier at 13 kilos and a little cheaper. https://www.thomann.de/gb/acus_one_for_bass_wood.htm And there's the Schertler Unico X at 16.8 kilos, but you'll have to rob the bank. https://www.thomann.de/gb/schertler_unico_x.htm The AER BassCube will be allmost twice this weight, at close to 30 kilos. The good old Gallien Krueger is a bit out of date even if it sounds good and the old ones are not that reliable.

Nope, you can still cut cows horns with them... But when they are broken in, they won't cut your fingers anymore and sound lovely.

I love them, when broken in, on fretless Jazz Basses.

I can't agree more with @Frank Blank. Being myself a fretless player for close to 40 years, what I tell people asking me how to play fretless is to listen to the tone of each and every note you play and appreciate that special fretless tone raising ... slowly up to the climax of the note(s): That's a fantastic moment. Play fretless the way you talk, tell a story, use punctuation, breathing, pauses, accelerations, silences, and sometimes emphasise a single note by letting it ring. This is the way I play fretless, and just like @Linus27 also said, when you can also make your fretless sound like a fretted, then it means you've mastered it. Use opened strings and harmonics to improve your intonation and don't be afraid to play (complex) chords as they will also improve your intonation. Also try to develop a sound on your own, something personal. And remember: no frets, no limits.
