What's with the Hitler mustache?
I just bought a fretless bass Ibanez 700 sound gear
I found it difficult with no marking other than the side marking
I am playing acoustic backing tracks in diffrent keys
Using all the keys from the first to the twelth fret
This has taught me the fretboard and given me a range of options on the notes I am playing
I now can hear if I am on the right note and if I am not I don't panic I just correct it on the next note
Best disision I made was to buy unmarked loving the challenge been playing 7 years taught myself no music skills prior
Listening is the key
Hoping to be able to play a note and know what it is soon
Lovely video thank you Listening is so important ❤
Just writing this to share before I’ve watched the video: I finally bought a fretless bass. I say finally because although I LOVE hearing fretless I always thought it would be above my talent level (never mind my abhorrent skill level on a fretted bass; I’m a guitarist), but the Harley Benton JB-40FL has such a good reputation and is so inexpensive that I just bought it, thinking I’d be able to record with it one slide-y snippet at a time.
Guess what: I could immediately play it more easily and with more dynamic control than I’ve ever been able to play a fretted bass, no buzz notes or dead notes or bad liftoffs. I think the enormous frets where to blame for my bass guitar woes. I have two other bass guitars and I’m either going to remove the frets or install banjo frets like Leland Sklar.
And now to watch your video
For me was the best tip, to play on the point, where the fret would be.
If you play on a bass without fretlines, you need the muscle memory and your ears.
Try to play everything and the time will fix every wrong doing.????
But, every tip that helps, should be welcomed by a bassist.
Keep the groove and have fun, thats important.
When bass becomes a passion, you never stop learning something on it.
Keep in mind, no master has fallen out of heaven, take your time.
The progress depends on the effort you put in your work.
The result speaks for itself.
perdi 4 minutos de mi vida con este video…
Wish they made these without the stupid lines. Nothing but a distraction.
whats with clickbait titles, i never sub to channels much that have them
Thanks for the video!!! I'm telling you my experience in case it's useful for someone. After playing guitar for many years (Wes Montgomery is my favorite), I decided to sell them all and buy a single Fretless Jazz Bass Relic. I'd been thinking for years about what it would be like. Since I don't know music and I play by ear, I thought that maybe, given my limitations, I could use it to my advantage. I received the bass and it wasn't very familiar to me at first, but it fulfilled the premise of broadening my outlook to other music that wasn't jazz. I've been playing for almost two years and it wasn't difficult for me, I put my favorite artists of different styles on YouTube and just play with them. I think that many people complicate things too much with so much information, techniques, etc. In reality, starting from a tuned instrument, it's difficult to sound out of tune because there are no frets, there are no limits. If the temperature goes up or down and the bass tightens or loosens, the notes simply don't fall on the virtual line, maybe you have to press the note in the middle. Like I said, I don't know music, but I still enjoy it a lot. And I think starting with a fretless is the best thing that ever happened to me.
"Listening and adjusting my tuning as I play" … oh and looking closely at my fingers relative to the fret lines to assist ????
I'm trying this. I need it.
Fantastic advice. I used to have a lined fretless but ended up constantly staring at the fretboard watching the position of my fingers rather than listening. I now have a Fender Tony Franklin Fretless with an unlined board and I find it so much easier to play. I found the lines limiting. With no lines, I rely on both my ears and eyes and find greater freedom in my playing. And I discovered my ear is a lot better than I give it credit for. Thanks for sharing!
Just play in total dark ????
As a ex pro cellist I can't stand frets. They get in the way of playing the note I want. Listening carefully all the time to where your fingers tuning the note is basic. Every note you play is like tuning your bass. Not listening to your tuning will sound hideous. Practice slowly listening to each note, tuning it as if your twisting the bass tuners to the correct pitch.
As a violin player I could never understand the shit sound of metal frets and unnatural nut on the neck that sounds nothing like finger. The nut is still a problem in all frettless designs I see – tallking open strings
nice spatula yet i missed the connection
I’ve found practicing in a dark room to tune my ears to proper intonation, seems to work for me.
That’s a great lesson mate ???????? I’ve always played by ear so I’m always listening to what to play and where to play it and all that. I prefer fretless without the lines for that reason. Fir example if I’m slightly out of tune I can just adjust the position a little to be in tune and so on 🙂 there are sooooo many fretless bass players that I had no idea played fretless! Like Jeff Ament in Pearl Jam and ya can hear it especially is songs like Even Flow with that beautiful harmonic slide that can only be done on a fretless! ????????
Definitely gonna do this thanks for the tips mate!
When I get my fretless done,( I have an American Deluxe 5 String Jazz bass that I will soon be turning into a fretless and I can't wait.) I will most definitely try this exercise!
