What is the profile of the neck like? Is it a chunky D or a slimmer C (if that makes any sense- all the warwicks I have ever touched (=2) had very deep, thick necks when measuring from the fretboard to where your thumb sits which don't really suit.)

This is a handy topic as I am learning Mama I`m coming home by Ozzy for a possible project and the verse sounds as if it`s played on a fretless. Not having a frettless, this topic hits the spot!!

Let's hope we get some answers then!
I do that, kill treble, use chorus, and it just sounds like a fretted with chorus and no treble. The youtube clip sounds different, much more swell and soft tone.
Hi all,
Exactly four mins in on this vid: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlMB9Mxt8M"]https://www.youtube....h?v=pFlMB9Mxt8M[/url]
the bass starts. I've actually only ever listed to this on a CD until today and was shocked to see the guy is actually playing a fretted bass - I was totally convinced it was fretless as it has great swell, no fret noise etc.
Is he using a d-esser or something? Flatwound stings? Magic Fingers? A graphic with the treble rolled right off? Any ideas as I love the sound and would quite like to emulate it.
Mine don't sound like that...
