bartelby Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1483369143' post='3206571'] Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam The intro to evenflow has a dirty great harmonic slide at the start. I'm sure it's a Wal he uses/used. Ah...missed that someone had already said that... [/quote] I don't think he owned Wals before Ten was released. He had an ESP/Warmouth bitsa in the early days. Quote

He's got some lovely gear, he whips an upright out for a couple of tracks too. Can't remember the name of the band I was thinking of whose bass player uses a fretless ASAT G&L. They were flavour of the month a couple of years ago. Quote
Pinball Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Somr of my favourite fretless rock stuff here...awsome. Lou Reeds New Sensations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-fq_BOj3ho Edited January 2, 2017 by Pinball Quote
mentalextra Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I was always in two minds about Tony Franklin but I've decided he's not a knob after all but cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxZukx-Drw0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7yYHH9SA54 Quote

I was completely oblivious of that for years until I read it on here a while ago. Edited January 2, 2017 by Cato Quote
Winny Pooh Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Too perfect, damn. I was also surprised to find that the killer bass on Bonnie Raitt's spit of love was a Moog. Quote

paul_5 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Cronos from Venom used to have a half and half bass in the mid 80s (the upper half of the fingerboard was defretted), but I don't recommend it. Or listening to Venom for that matter Quote

Norm Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1483373118' post='3206620'] Juan Alderete - The Mars Volta 😰 [/quote] +1 for Juan Alderete. Early P J Harvey stuff has quite a bit of fretless, bassman used a Stingray, cant remember his name? Quote
toneknob Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Someone said John Paul Jones right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_X5L8IVCpI Quote
alyctes Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Melissa Etheridge's album Never Enough. Most if not all the bass is fretless, quite subtle. I think it's a Precision. Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Quite liked the fretless on "What I Am" by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians. Not really Rock though but nice enough :-) Quote

GarethFlatlands Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Not much of it but there's a couple of Tool tracks with fretless on it. Intension from 10,000 days is the main one but the 2nd verse of Lateralus has it dropped in too. Both Wals. Joe Lester from Intronaut is also well worth a listen/watch.

paul_5 Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Don't stop believing' by Journey sounds like a fretless line with a bit of grit on it too. Quote
el borracho Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) My favourite is Tim Bogert who has played with loads of bands. Here's a couple - if I've done the links right. I obviously haven't and don't know how to do it- go it, sort of. http://youtu.be/TDlrmz5GC6A http://youtu.be/UeTrGTtKyp8 Edited June 5, 2021 by Rich vids embedded Quote
