Wow, tonight I decided to do some searching for what EUB Sting used in The Police and my search led me to here. I would also love to hear some sound samples if you can. thanks.

That would be great Nick, might be enough so I can decide if I want one or not. Still not fully happy with a good fretless yet

Hey Nick, wonderful basses. I had one of those Washburn acoustic basses and they are superb but again, I had no use for mine and sold it. Loving the fretless precision also. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on what the tone is like on a fretless precision.

Hey Leon, many thanks and really pleased you like the album. Feel free to download it if you like

I wonder if people's opinions would be different if they had heard this on the radio rather than having the visual as well. I think some would be saying thats its a nice cover of the song.

Well this is my first introduction to this lot and I love it. I also don't know the original song or any of the other songs they have covered but musically I love what they are doing. I love the Britany cover they do. Great musicians.

This thread could get interesting from here on in

Well after trying lots of different fretless basses, I think one I would be very happy to settle with is this, a Fender Tony Franklin Precision. I would have a standard Fender Precision Fretless but Fender don't actually make one so it would have to be this.

As requested by Guy, here is a picture of Pino's Stingray that he bought from the gallery. Looks totally stunning and I admit, I am so very very jealous

[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1335120336' post='1626055'] I will do my best to post one, when I figure out how - where is your 12 year old son when you need him.... [/quote] Ok, dead easy. Either upload to somewhere like photobucket and then link the picture on here or email to me at the below email address and I will do it for you [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email]

[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1335115362' post='1625963'] I visited the gallerylast week, had been thinking about getting an early fretless stingray for a while. It was impossible to resist..... [/quote] No way?? Seriously? Any photos?

I think the Pino Stingray has been sold or removed as it has now gone from the listings Hope its gone to a good home

I personally find a Precision, a Jazz and a Stingray all three very different basses. Not sure which one I prefer but I love them all but must admit and has already been mentioned, I do tend to struggle getting a great sound out of a Stingray live. However, I have owned three and used to be my dream bass and will always have one. Might even get a second one some day.

[quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1334588390' post='1618075'] After obtaining my first Warwick (Corvette Fretless - see above) I really wanted to score another. I did a trade with a fellow chatter for this rather nice Streamer LX4. [/quote] Wow, stunning bass Hutton. Hope you are enjoying her How you getting on with the fretless? I've not forgotten your suggestion of some fretless bass methods. Putting together a few ideas at the moment to see what works best and maybe develop into something a bit more

Mmmmmm Tal 4000 will be along soon I am sure

Well, I finally got round to sorting out a soundcloud account. So far I have uploaded two albums I have played on. More will follow in time The first is the last album I played on for a band called Cow and recorded in 2012 at Paul Wellers Black Barn studios. I guess its a kind of acoustic, motown, soul, pop thing with a 60's and 70's american feel. For me the stand out tracks are Shivers, Gypsy Lover and Far Enough (fretless). [url="http://soundcloud.com/michael-boylan/sets/cow-dedicated-to-the-mighty/"]http://soundcloud.com/michael-boylan/sets/cow-dedicated-to-the-mighty/[/url] The second album is a band called Inter which is from 2000 and is guitar punk pop. It was recorded at Loco Studios in South Wales and produced by Mark Walis who produced The Wildhearts, U2, It Bites, The Smiths and many many more. Stand out tracks for me are Happy Ending (John Peel's favourite song of 1997), Swallow, Radio Finland and Real Horrowshow which along with Swallow are my favourites.
