Dean Edge unlined fretless

[Rayman]

Yep readily available from Matt at Monty’s…. he even has a video on how to apply it in YT

I left it on overnight and buffed it off this morning. In theory it goes darker the longer you leave it, a maximum of 48hrs, but overnight is plenty.

Last few pictures….

 

A really nicely put together bass, very impressed. I’ve spent the afternoon working through Tony Franklins fretless course…. great fun.

All this fretless stuff is so far out of my league it may as well be playing a different sport

I hear you , but actually it’s not as hard as you think, just needs practice, I’m really enjoying it.

 

Years ago, I played a couple of metal gigs with a newly acquired Ibanez GWB35 fretless…. that was a fun experience.

It is, because I get zero time ever to practice

 

besides I know I’d fall quickly into pointless poor quality jaco fakery

You and me both

Try just playing your usual set or songs you like in the fretless rather than trying to emulate Jaco.

Yes but you’d probably sound convincing, whereas I suspect that I would sound like the sonic equivalent of the dregs of a Woolworths pick and mix display

I’m not going to try, I just know ill sound like a pound-shop version anyway

I’ve made a ramp, which I’m really happy with, it’s very comfortable to play now, similar to my Ibanez GWB35.
