Go over to the 'favorite fretless albums' forum and post your fretted favourites... Wow who whizzed on your chips sorry I spoke no need to be rude is there Quote
Dood Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 If anyone is interested I still have the Spotify playlist (in my signature) everyone can add their own fave songs to. It's seriously missing some great fretless bass and bass solos! Add away! Quote

This. It has the great distinction of being musical, as a good solo should be. Technical or difficult? Who cares, its music, you listen to it and either like it, or not. Quote

Rocker Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Not sure what to think about anyone having a favorite bass solo. Let alone two. Get out there and enjoy life is my best thought for you. Quote
pete.young Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 No thread would be complete without a gratuitous mention of Colin Hodgkinson. I've been listening to this man for 45 yeqrs and I still have no real clue how he does it! 2 Quote

It's my fault, I suppose; I thought he was good, from all the spiel I'd read. Never mind, I'll know better next time (except there'll be no next time. Once is far more than enough...). Quote

bubinga5 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Ok not strictly a short solo in a song. But...Without doubt this from Victor is just an incredible solo/cover of Earth Wind and Fire's classic. . Obviously he's recorded 2 parts, the solo part using a filter of sorts.. The whole song is just musically fabulous bass playing from him.. The master at work Imo.. Edited July 13, 2018 by bubinga5 Quote
dmccombe7 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Gino Vannelli album title track Brother to Brother featuring Jimmy Haslip on bass. Love the bass tone and the technique is phenomenal on this one. The musicianship throughout this particular album is 2nd to none. More recent bassist Sandin Wilson who also plays 6 string bass these days does a fantastic version of this song too. Quote

bubinga5 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Incognito. Julian Crampton..Jacobs Ladder. Ive seen him play this live on an F Bass and it was flawless. 1 Quote
bubinga5 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Randy HOPE Taylor's solo on this is just amazing. Starts at 2,40. the perfect finger style mixed with slap and the double stop pop. Just an incredible bass player. Imo. Edited July 13, 2018 by bubinga5 Quote
lowdown Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Renaud Garcia-Fons, a terrific musician. Pizz solo starts at 2:05...Arco solo at 3:33. Quote
el borracho Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 In these situations I always recommend a bit of Stephen Amazing - starts just after 2:00 - and played with a plec! 2 Quote
NickD Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Another 'not a fan' of bass solos. But if it's an integral part of a song I'm good with that. I see Manring's 'The Enormous Room' has already been posted, which is beautiful, so I'll go with this one... solo is from about 3.40, but it only works for me in the context of the whole tune. Quote
NancyJohnson Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 If you have a search on You Tube there's some Living Colour footage from the Primer or Time Tunnel VHS tapes with an extended live version of Muzz Skillings noodling through Broken Hearts....it's not very long, perhaps 30-40 seconds, but it's a wonderful clip. The studio version is great too. Other than that, a nod in the direction of Norwood Fisher of Fishbone for his frankly mental breaks in Bonin' In The Boneyard. Any of the versions are belting. Quote
