Linus27 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 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.

AFAIK that’s how Mick Karn achieved his ‘chorus’.. J. XX Edited July 14, 2010 by Jeremypaulcarroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XX[/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I like that a lot, not sure it needs proper vocals. Best Of Luck. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dave_bass5 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
