i've owned 2 fretless basses in the past but never used them live, the first was/is a Aria cardinal medium scale that a previous owner had de-fretted, I never used it so i had the frets put back in, (i've still got this one as it's a YOB bass and i really like it), the second was a squier fretless jazz that i took as a trade for an amp, It never left the house so i traded it for a squier mustang. at some point i'm sure i'll buy another fretless but it will probably not get used and be sold on (i'll not learn!)

absolute class. Love it I'm so pleased for you all

Listen to Angie - fretless WHITE COLLAR FRAUD 2012 by RR on Bass on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/PiYWo5LIhTeTgiXOGq This is a recording made maybe in 2010 on my fretless Kramer. It was quite a cheap bass when it came out but good quality for the price. In recent years I have upgraded the wiring loom with a Kiogon made version and it's given the bass a lot more Welly.

This is a FB comment I got from my local luthier and multi-instrumentalist who attended one of my band’s gigs on Sunday. I really respect his opinion on all things musical. I think it demonstrates how good a single Monza is. “Patrick T R O'Brien. Bass sounded great down the room - really fat in the low end and punchy. Great sound from such a small rig. Sounds much bigger.”

I did. I wasn't sure if that was for the whole thread or just the post. I'll keep an eye on that in future. Surprised it's taken me this long to notice it if it's a known foible.

Ooops..double post!!

I'd have to ask friends who were at Live Aid but at the Mandela concert there were tarps covering the pitch.

Did you have the rogue pictures imported (in the bottom panel) but not specifically inserted into the post? If you do that then the pictures get appended to the end of the post as presumably there's an assumption that you want to use them.

That is the sound I want!! Mental note made. Lovely stuff.

Cheers, I'll keep that in my back pocket, if organic* progress halts. *minimum effort

You could try supporting it by the body and the headstock and resting something reasonably heavy on the neck.

Roderick bought a valve preamp DI pedal off me. Clear comms, super friendly transaction. A1!

Give me a bassline or tune to listen and I'll try it for you.

I've been trying the synths in my Helix Stomp XL but I'm not getting the results I want.... not scratching that itch.

I've searched through this thread but I haven't seen anyone ask how this pedal handles playing octaves in quick succession. The only 2 pedals that can track those that I know of are the the latest Boss Synth pedal and Digitech Bass synth Wah (which I bought from my friend and yours @Al Krow ). However, I'm not a fan of the synth sounds available on those. If this can do that, it will tick all the boxes.

Not a live clip application but sharing this: Don't mind the last line of this Chaka Khan classic 24k Magic Not sure if there are K-Pop listeners here in Basschat but was trying to emulate the moog sound in the record. MXR bass synth in the Anagram's FX Loop. Adding a preamp(gentle/Noble) after made it sound full. It decays nicely before it glitches out. Also good to note to tweak the Glide and Tracking parameter. Press and hold voice knob and tweak the resonance knob for the Glide and do the same when you press and hold the Shape switch for the Tracking. The Glide parameter smoothens your portamento or pitch slide between notes, allowing for smooth transitions or more pronounced effects. I still have a hard time doing quick runs or maybe I'm just a bad player haha
