"If I tell him the song is in A, then he just needs to ride the A string. He doesn't want to move around the neck, because he might get eaten. He doesn't want to wander off, because that fretboard is a strange, confusing place." Lexxi: "I would lay down breadcrumbs so I could find my way back to the house." Much mirth

Do those necks look skinny or do those necks look skinny ?

Thanks guys, very helpful I have an expoxied rosewood board, so i;m guessing that i need to get the fretboard truer, as mr Manton has suggested. I think i need a pro to level board true for fretless, as i dont think i have the skill to do such work. For certain, there is a choke point on the D string right on the 6th fret.

I dont know if this is a fault, or something built into the software that is something we have to live with, and its regarding the search function I did a search for ' string tension ' and up comes 7 pages, but most of those pages are taken up the posts in threads. Instead of listing just threads that contain posts about string tension, they search comes up with every post in those threads, hence there are pages and pages listed, due to the fact that every post is there, rather than just the threads. Now if you dont like whats on page 1 and hit ' next ' ( or page 2 ) the message ' please wait for XXXX seconds before attempting another search ' pops up It wasn't another search - i was just going to the next page, but the software thinks i've done another search, stops me, and then i have to hit the back button, and try to get to page 2 again, and if i didnt count the seconds properly, i get another message of the same, which is totally weird

Hmm...never thought of string tension. And maybe the neck isnt the problem but just the fretboard ? Maybe the answer is to have a new fretboard, perhaps in Ebony, which seems to be a favourite for fretless. Or even Ebanol , maybe even better. How the hell does one get hold of Ebanol ? Or a complete new bass I had toyed with the idea of a piezo fretless. Most of the great fretless basses i have heard have been piezo based. The Stradi Symphony is just one of many on You Tube that sounds amazing

Andy , i thought i had a low action on my fretless, but the massive ' mwah ' i always wanted is missing. Its ok on the G, ( but not brilliant ) but gets less as i go to the D and less on the A, and even less on the E I have my fretless action set low at the nut, and you cannot slide a credit card under the strings at the nut. Maybe i should have the strings just touching the fretboard at the nut ? I am annoyed that my fretless doesnt sing with mwah like some of the fretlesses i hear and even thought about having a fretless neck built, and asked about this on the forums

Studio recorded, one take for the band, then vocal over the top. The old Python Lee Jackson track which featured Rod Stewart

Nope - no damage or side effects

None this year. We folded last year

Indeed sir, and thank Cliff for Shout ! dubious dirt removal

And some fooling around on fretless https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v3/player.cfm?type=single&songid=13670504&q=hi

I've always followed the phiisolop - filopsosoy thought that you can always dirty up clean but hard to clean up dirty. Another ' matron ' moment

Very good. Now go to the back of the class

You can get old TE's to growl as well, you know. Just kick it in the nuts and watch that ' clean ' disappear

Ok, just got back I edited one of my For Sale items, and no pop up captchas - i edited twice just to be sure, but nothing. Methinks your tweaks have the magic touch. Have a bourbon biccy on me

Must admit, i do love the sound. Personal i suppose, some hate it. But since our band quit after 6 years, and now i;m just home recording with a gitwrist, it sits in my spare bedroom when i fancy a pluck ( matron )
