the problem with our conversation is that I now feel like I've not experienced enough and despite literally getting a new bass last week I'm browsing the For Sale section! My modest bass history Fender Jazz Black Top (MiM) Fender Precision Deluxe P/J Special (MiM) Ibanez GSR200 - my first, £60 off eBay. Ibanez SRF700 fretless Lakland 44-01, Spalted Maple finish - I still regret moving this on Mayones Jabba Standard 5 String MTD Kingston of some kind, I sent it back after receiving it as there were multiple finger prints in the paint finish Sandberg Cali II VS4 Sandberg Cali II VT4 Sandberg Cali I VM4 Shuker Jazz (Custom Build) Spector Legend of some kind, I took it back the day after getting it as the electronics were wired out of phase and the preamp seemed a bit buggy. Warwick Corvette GPS 5 String

Flea on Fretless

More Marcus Miller And some Alain Caron

I've updated the original post - thanks for the information

It hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's kind of a fretless standard More Japan

I had not realised that until today!

Feel free to pick that back up on this thread!

Inspired by the Soul, Funk and Groove thread, post your favourite and inspirational fretless grooves and bass lines here. Kicking off with Jaco and Vic (although as noted below, the album version was played on a fretted instrument) Collaborative Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GFfbIFeSQo8OF50gc2GmU?si=llhMWviBTca6jXlhdyrQXQ

I've posted this in a few threads already but since it was the inspiration for getting this thread started I figured it would be wrong not to add it here. My first fretless bass, and like my very first fretted bass it's an Ibanez - full circle.

It ended up being just over 700 GBP.

Suprise visit from UPS this morning delivering my Ibanez.

I'm in the club! Just had UPS deliver this

Still waiting for the Ibanez to be delivered. Got a good price ordering from bax-shop.co.uk - however despite it being hosted on a UK domain it appears they are actually Dutch and the bass is being shipped from there. When I placed the order I selected UPS delivery for last Friday - clearly there website has not been updated to account for Brexit delays. Delivery was originally due to be today but now pushed back to Thursday -- over a week since I ordered it. Outrageous!!! It appears to be in the UK now so hopefully the date won't be moved again, fingers crossed.

Successful Jamulus test this weekend just gone. Both guitarist and I were able to successfully jam on the server I was running. We're both using Powerlines - audio quality and lag both acceptable. Next is to get drummer onboard.

This ^^^ Or maybe Fodera's Master Built Kestrel

Interesting to know about the server - fortunately I work for a cloud compute company so running one on AWS or Azure isn't a problem and I had already considered doing that. Yeah WiFi a big know. He's going to try some Powerline adaptors first.

Right lockdown #3 is here and I'm not going to go another year without music so I'm going to try and get my psuedo band using Jamulus. It could be an uphill battle .. - drummer: highly skilled IT engineer but doesn't know what an audio interface is or what to do with it. - guitarist: got his first PC this Christmas, although in fairness he has already got an audio interface and we did just test JamKazam. Latency was an issue but he was on WiFi so we need to solve that problem. I've got a Jamulus Server configured to run on my Laptop so we don't need to worry about the central servers (hopefully that will help with latency). Once we've got their IT issues solved I'm hoping we can have some successful jams.

That looks great. I have the Waves emulation collection for the SSL 4000 console , not used it in anger yet but did do some recording last year and it worked really nicely.

Welcome to Sanctuary! Enhancing this thread with pictures would be a welcome addition. Would love to see the Stingray!

Excellent start to the year !

You will be welcomed with open arms brother.
