Was about to say it. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

But in the end, it will be the same.

Could you please merge these too, this will be completely nuts ? I wrote it on a piece of paper and put it to the bin, but it appeared here. After all, it's the same, no ?

They'll be jealous at TB, because it's even madder with all threads merged. Comments at the wrong place makes it even more nonsense. Makes me think of Stop posting without reading. Genius idea, Moderati. But only 4 pages...

I'm the shame.

... Whatever the song is.

Metal snowflakes do hurt more than snow snowflakes, but they sound better for jazz.

Exactly what I wrote above. You must be in the wrong thread 😁 :

I like to sound like myself, it's better this way, methinks. That said I've always loved the sound of Shri Sriram and his music (yep, another fretless player) :

Trust your sixth sense.

He is (technically) right, your passive bass has a high impedance output matching the impedance of the passive input. When going through a preamp or a pedal, this signal becomes a low impedance, so has to go to the active input to have input and output impedances matching. You should have trusted him, because of his background. It's like not trusting the surgeon saying he has to put back that finger that you stupidly cut with your very sharp new knife. That said, you can live with one finger missing as you can live with the wrong input, it doesn't make a great difference...

But do you see dead people ?

Wrong and mostly even, so they sound mostly the same. 😀

Period.

All fingers are equal, but some fingers are more equal than others.

Deep, too.

You won't regret it, for sure. Hope so.

Ask Doctor Mondeaux for the fingers, he'll trade them for some jamas.

At last all answers at once. This thread can now be closed.

What about an 8 strings ERB with 25 frets and an 8 strings ERB fretless with 32 positions ? Supreme show-off ?

My preferred Jack Bruce tone, him on the fretless Warwick Thumb. Had one too just because of Jack Bruce sound with it. Always loved the way he was playing, one of my influences on fretless with the two other great bass players from UK : Mick Karn and Percy Jones. Rory Gallagher was also great at improvising and he prooved it that night. Even if he doesn't really got the riff he made his thing clearly stuck to the tune. Two great musicians, sadly gone.
