Ambassient Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) hello all!! my name is Todd and I am a jazz (standards and modern) player. I started playing bass on fretless four years ago and only play them. My main bass is a Fender fretless jazz bass. I run it through a Darkglass hyper luminal compressor into a Darkglass Microtubes B7K ultra v2. i put them through an Ampeg BA115. it's a simple set up, but works really well for me. I am on disability so i play a lot. Edited September 8, 2020 by Ambassient Quote
PaulThePlug Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 How do Todd. I knew listening to Jazz was a bit odd... but didnt know that it was now considered a recognised disability... 😉 Nice... Enjoy Bass Chat! 2 Quote
Ambassient Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 I knew listening to Jazz was a bit odd... but didnt know that it was now considered a recognised disability... 😉 Nice... It's not, but that's funny. I have a serious mental illness and bass has become my refuge. I can be having the worst of symptoms and when i go in and play, it almost all disappears. 4 Quote

I don't think you'll find that's a unique sentiment around these parts, playing music (especially with others) certainly does wonders for my mental health. Enjoy your music and your time here on the forum. 2 Quote

I am on disability so i play a lot. What sort of stuff (modern) do you play? I really like fusion but I’ve only ever played rock, pop and Motown type stuff. I don’t own a fretless but I’ve been thinking about it recently. like you, I’ve been playing 4 years but with young kids etc. I don’t get as much practice time as I’d like. Quote
baldwinbass Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Hi Todd, welcome from another fretless player Quote
