wombatboter Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wish it would rain - Phil Collins No one is to blame - Howard Jones ( the great Mo Foster on bass if I'm not mistaken) On a couple of Annabel Lamb-cd's is a lot of prominent Wal-fretless playing by Steve Greetham (excellent) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqWBlZcIKh4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqWBlZcIKh4[/url] My camera never lies - Bucks Fizz (!) (great bass-line) Working with fire and steel (China Crisis) Such a pity that a lot of great fretless bass-stuff is connected with the eighties, still the most prolific time for bass, where everything was possible and producers were looking for something different in bass-players. It opened up doors which are closed again. Marketing and recordfirms put a hold on too adventurous experiments which take the focus away from the singer or the band. I have a couple of fretless basses and though I'm freelance I very rarely get called to bring the fretless along anymore. A small studio-session every now and then but no big things. Same thing with slap-bass.. Unless you suggest it yourself (if you dare to) to play fretless, it stays in its case. Except in fusion-bands where you can use different bass-techniques but in the "commercial" world, things have never been so dull and safe as now. It's " shut up and the less you are noticed, the better" where things used to be different when fretless bass used to be on the radio and in the hitparades. I'm talking about the situation in Belgium and Holland. Can't recall that I heard a great fretless bass-line on a hit-record in ages where it used to be "normal". Just think of Paul Simon's popular hits with fretless all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamd Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks for the great thread Alain Caron is pretty awesome [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQd2NtbOKA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQd2NtbOKA...feature=related[/url] Also found this the other day, a young Marcus tearing it up [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD3zq4qBEZA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD3zq4qBEZA...feature=related[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Willis again, just the best IMHO current electric jazz fretless player today, here's why: But Michael Manring comes a very, very close second... Bright Size Life Giant Steps I love his solo stuff too but these clips are great to hear him in a more traditional setting, he kills it on Giant Steps too!

Doc B Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 A band I was in for a short while wanted to cover She's In Parties by Bauhaus, played by David J. Great bassline that. Black by Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament is another favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
