![Why aren't more basses like this?! | Yamaha BB434M [Review/Demo]](https://justthetone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Why-arent-more-basses-like-this-Yamaha-BB434M-ReviewDemo-390x205.jpg)
Pretty sure Jaco used round wound. And later on started treating the fret board with an epoxy resin made for boats. That's what I read many years back anyway. In the 80s I played an Ibanez Musician MC-900 DS fretless. Same one that Sting played in The Police. That was brilliant and I used flat wound on that and tried nylon black tape wound as well.
Michael Manring is a fretless king.
Resistance is futile. I suppose it may be useless, as well. All the best. Love the sound of fretless basses.
Jaco Pastorius did not invent the fretless bass guitar. Fretless bass guitars were mass produced in the USA as early as the 1930s.
Half-wounds are kinda like a good balance. Between, like, I don’t know, round wounds, and like, flat wounds. I don’t know where they get the name, but it might have something to do with how the strings are ground after the round wire is wrapped around the core. Maybe like flat wounds, where they are ground flat, but not all the way. Perhaps like 50% ground flat. Maybe they should call them 50% ground round wounds instead. That rolls off the tongue better than……half-……..wounds. That’s just hard to say. 50% ground round wounds is so much better. Say that quickly, repeatedly, and your mouth will begin to argue with your inner marketing genius.
Is that Stingray an original from 50 years ago? If I’ve got anything remotely like a lock on the currency exchange between Great Britain and here in the USA, £2,000 is almost like the kind of price tag attached to some brand new Gibson models! (It almost sounds worth it when you get your Louis Johnson fix in.)
whats better, flatwound or tapewound?
Unreal jam
You guys did not give the name of the "cheap" Bass
No Jaco did not play flats guys, YUK!!
How do you get that double bass sound with these basses?
Have you ever demoed a fretless Alembic Spoiler, out of curiosity?
You guys make me want a fretless
The squier sounded way better in the intro, unfortunately they intentionally turned the squier volume down compared to the fender. It really had a great sound, pitty the volume was low.
Fenders are good for jazzy stuff, but if you're into Pino Palladino, Mick Karn, Percy Jones, than unless you want to sell your house and kids to get a Wal, look into StingRay, Ibanez, Yamaha.
If you edited out all the wankerish behavior on these anderton videos you'd have a pretty decent 5 minute video!
Is there a name for the grove you guys were playing? If not I got one!
Wow, that intro ripped!
Pino Palladino used a Stingray Fretless on his recordings with Paul Young.
Great video. I believe Jaco plays drums also on Teen Town.
Mick Karn’s fret less work on Bill Nelson’s Chimra EP released in the early 80s is brilliant and this episode was great!
❤️✌️????????????????
Jazz on the Enterprise
whats that backing track?
That squier looks like the bass of doom from jaco
Jaco used Rotosound 77 roundwounds I believe…
Not a good comparison. Both are JBs and both made by Fender. This shows perfectly that you don't have enough cheap brands in your inventory. How about selling SX basses for example?
I had a stagg fretless 15 years ago – good electronics and design – but much lighter wood and not nearly the craftsmanship of the stagg fretless I just bought – the new stagg fretless is a solid superb playing instrument- I put rotosound nylons and dammit it sounds nice
Ebonol is a synthetic material whose name derives from its similarity in appearance, hardness, and stability to ebony wood. Ebonol is used as a substitute for ebony in the construction of stringed and woodwind instruments.
Ebonol is a crasy good material: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonol_(material)
Jacco Pastorius used roundwounds I believe
You guys sound sooooo good together… it’s such a joy.
Very nice, guys.
I love listening to you guys- so talented. Me thinks you need an album or sound cloud channel,. I think you should consider putting out something.
great stuff guys! awesome video really keep up the good stuff
The squire has rounds because it's obviously a "Jaco signature" type jazz bass, all the way to the color and no pick guard. Jeez! DISAPPOINTING you two not catching that immediately
The general consensus I'm getting is that you guys liked the squire bass more than the more expensive basses. I've an American made jazz fretless and love the sound. Sometimes I can't put it down.
