Fretless Lovelyness :)

[Linus27]

This a a song that my friend asked me to play on and we ended up, re-writing a fair amount of it. This is the short version and the final will have proper vocals eventually. I played bass on my Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz and I am quite pleased with the results. So love playing fretless.

Anyway, let me know what you think. It was just a bit of fun really but turned out better than we expected.

Should’ve bought a Mac :-)

It is very nicely in the Mick Karn vein… could do with being more dominant in the mix! Have you tried double-tracking bass parts like that? AFAIK that’s how Mick Karn achieved his ‘chorus’..

It's interesting the Mick Khan references as I've not actually heard any of his playing. I got a Japan album the other day but not actually listened to it.

Thanks for the tips on double tracking. I am back in the studio on Thursday so I might give that a try. Thanks.

I like that a lot, not sure it needs proper vocals.


Best Of Luck.

Hey, thanks very much. I think at the moment we will give the vocals a miss.

You have so lost me on that one

[TommyK]

This is AMAZING!!! Glad i had a listen.

Many congrats, great playing and sound. Good work Linus!!!

That does really sound fantastic! And I'm with the others: you don't really need any "proper" vocals - there's enough interest as it is.

I can't wait to hear what you sound like with a Warwick fretless - you're really making that Squier sing!

Hey, thank you very much. The second song we are working on which is about 95% finished I think is even better. A much more complicated bass line and so much more fretless lovelyness I will post it soon.

Hi,

Thanks very much and enjoyed the song. Thanks for the tip also.

Hey Michael.

Great song and very nice playing. I get the M Karn references, although i would add your playing sounds in tune so different from Karns ;-)
Actually it reminds me more of the Ultravox/Gary Numan with Pino sound, although the bass is less prominent.

I dont think it needs proper vocals, it perfect the way it is.

Hey Dave,

Thanks very much. I do have another track which I think is much better from a fretless point of view. As soon as its finished I will post it up.

[dave_bass5]

I look forward to it.
