Clarky Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I thought it might be useful to set up threads with good YT clips of particular bass styles (eg, funk, metal, latin, jazz etc) but since I am a bit besotted with my Wal at the moment thought I'd start with fretless bass. Feel free to chuck in further clips so it can be a sort of style library for those interested in delving in. This guy is a very melodic player of a fretless Wal 5 string - here's his version of Jaco's 'Come on, Come over' followed by a very easy-on-the-ear improvisation over one chord http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhr6I8YVpqo&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_-zr5AwQbU&feature=relmfu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 And this guy makes a Ricky fretless sound fabulously DB-like when playing jazz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2-88-nlIgg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ivOkt6Ya4&feature=channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Bireli Lagrene, the master of gypsy jazz guitar, shows that he could also have been a masterful bassist albeit with a huge debt to Jaco (with whom he played in a trio in the 1980s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY_wH15a7C0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
