Always loved this video. Especially at the end when it looks they're gonna trade some licks but in fact they accompany each other to a smooth fade out.

a fretless jazz or 'ray style

I'm resurrecting this topic as I face a trouble with my TH. I've been using it since May, and love it but never used the DI section as there was always one provided by the venue. Last Thursday I decided to try it out and the result was so noisy that we couldn't use it. At Pre EQ mode the noise was relatively low, but Post EQ was simple unbearable. I've researched a little and found out that some people had this issue with the first edition of the pedal, many years ago. So I contacted Thomann and they told me to send it back to examine it. I'll keep you updated in case anyone's interested.

One of the singers in my band doesn't have FB. The guitarist refuses to use WhatsApp and never checks email...

So it's a case of repeating the same message and delivering it through as many channels as I can.

If I had my way, I'd get everybody on Slack and then everything can be nicely divvied up by gig, we can have attachments, discussions everything.... but no.

I hear you pal. Used to go with multiple phone calls to arrange the time and material for the next rehearsal. Once or twice I made an excel sheet with each member's availability to save a call or two

We have a secret FB group, where we post youtube links etc, but we communicate via a Viber group chat 'cause the singer -believe it or not- doesn't have a FB account. At least, things got faster when he got a smartphone.

Yes, it has crossed my mind. I may pull the trigger on a used one.

. Others have commented on the complexity of the interaction of 3 knobs and 3 switches resulting in a plethora of tonal shades. It takes time to learn but it's well worth the investment.

True. However, I had never lost faith. I just set a (killer) tone throughout the gig. Now, I feel I've passed the learning curve.
Anyway, are there any Tribs fretless around? I cannot afford another USA model, so a Tribute would be more than decent for my first fretless. Haven't any though.

*following this topic*

I'm looking into getting my first fretless for about €500 so a Sire MM is a strong (if not the sole) competitor. I wish there would be more choices here (Greece) even in the used market, but not much luck with that.

Did a gig at a hotel some months ago. Between the two sets, a mother and her two sons move to the table in front of the band. None of them took their eyes off us during the second set. When we finished, the guy comes to me and says "I saw you play an G&L, is it a USA made?" Turns out he was a guitarist, his brother a drummer and her mother an upright bassist.. Lovely family.
My L-2000 is a beast but it took me several months to tame it, but now I feel confident about dialing the proper tone for "every" situation.

Mine was a Marshall 1x15 combo, not sure of the exact model but it was by far the worst amp I've ever owned. It was a hateful crock of sh*t. Just pure mud.

I'll go with the 2X10 one. A trebly nightmare.

Nobody was related to music in my family. Even me, I developed an interest in music just in my late teens. My mother promised she would buy me a guitar if I succeeded at the exams to get to the university. Three years later, I switched to bass.

Even I've been playing bass for 14 years, it's only during the last four that I decided to actually learn how to play the instrument. I am now at a level that I can fill the sonic void of a trio and get nice comments by bandmates and punters occasionally. I consider myself average at best.
Am I pleased with my improvement? Certainly. Happy with my level? No. I accept my limitations but I (want to) believe that I haven't reached them.

yes, finally

Shame I live so far away. Beautiful! Not a fan of the thumb rest though.
Good luck with your sale

Just wow!
