Leave Me Alone (Michael Jackson)

Exactly the same for me (except they're passive Maruszczyks). The SBP circuit just seems to sprinkle sonic fairy dust on the tone (which wasn't bad to start with) and is not obvious or intrusive as they still sound fundamentally the same, just more so. Also use a VTDI, but only for driven tones and in addition to the SBP. My amp (Phil Jones Flightcase) is set almost flat, just a little cut on the bass control. All my pedals are in front of the amp.

Green Green Grass Of Home - Jones the Voice

Orange Crush - REM

Nothing Compares To You - Sinead O’Connor

Quark Strangeness & Charm - Hawkwind

Boz Burrell is often overlooked when it comes to fretless, which is a travesty.

There are 7 B stock, new Metro Expresses on Thomann (if looking, don’t forget to add VAT). Add that to the eBay ones and that’s a lot of sub-standard Sadowskys available in the wild. If I were Roger, I’d be pretty p155ed off by that.

Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears

Smooth Operator - Sade

It happened to me too just seconds before.

Into The Valley - The Skids

The Storm - Flying Colours

Radio Africa - Latin Quarter

Uncle Tony gives his fretless some pick action. John Giblin sliding those harmonics. Some bozo attempting to channel Tony Levin. Yeah, ok, it’s me.

As much as I’m all for pushing my own sale, this just appeared in the FS section.

The King Will Come - Wishbone Ash

The quality control on these early, Chinese Metros seems to be decidedly suspect if the examples in the thread that discusses them are anything to go by (sorry, I don’t have the link). EDIT: Here it is

The video that made me spend a fair chunk of change.

I’m not sure if this is actually fretless, as Larry Klein can make a fretted sound otherwise, but I choose to think it’s ‘bumpless’.

Some more Bathiki Kumalo

Oh, I'm off and running now. Danny Thompson sounding ace on Victoria (she's fretless ). I would have added New York Minute, but Don Henley (or his henchmen) block videos . Where there's a will, there's a compromise... https://open.spotify.com/track/2jxqu3v4AZAhUNvdAbDGet

Some Mick and Pino to add to the list. I once did a weekly posting on FB (Fretless Friday) some years ago, I enjoyed doing it.

It really is and is lovely and light too. Go on, you know you want to 😉😁.

More expensive, but a big jump in quality, is the Maruszczyk Jake and there is a used one at The Gallery. OK, full disclosure, this is actually mine on commission sale. https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/marusczyk-jake-4-l And fiesta red, all day long; Pino-tastic!
