There is a way of playing the D# without stretching, using artificial harmonics. Victor Wooten uses this method as he cant stretch far enough, There is a video of him demostrating this on youtube but I cant find it. I think the position of the harmonic is just behind the front pick up or there abouts on the A string. I hope this is of some use to you.

Its on Youtube aswell :-) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NO_Pq3p5i4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NO_Pq3p5i4[/url]

I'm a fan of his I discovered him when my Dad played me some Brand X and then I bought all the Tunnels albums I agree that he can be a bit odd at times but thats him pushing the boundaries I suppose

There's a single slanted pickup version in The Gallery in London [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/gibsonvictory.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/gibsonvictory.html[/url] They want £700 for it

I have a ICON VJ96 "Jaco" Fretless and its lovely

Dont know wether you knew But he's got his own youtube channel with vids like this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfCjqcWl4uQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfCjqcWl4uQ[/url]

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated

Thanks for the reply I'll check it out

Hi I'm looking for a piezo bridge to retro-fit to my fretless because I really like the sound Percy Jones gets out of his Ibanez EDA 900 I've found the one made by Hipshot but I was wondering wether anybody knew of any other companies that make them? Thanks Rodders

The channel changed to RockWorld TV but they still showed the lessons and had lots of unsigned bands on the channel aswell

I think the bass he's playing now is a prototype made by the Bass Centre [url="http://www.basscentre.com/4-string-bass-guitars/bass-collection-norman-watt-roy-prototype.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/4-string-bass-gu...-prototype.html[/url] Its a replica of his old gold Jazz The price tag is a bit steep though

Nice. Dont Fender own Jackson? Thats where I think the headstock has come from

Ive just bought one today from PMT in Norwich

You'll be in competition with these guys [url="http://www.losendos.co.uk/"]http://www.losendos.co.uk/[/url]

I bought the 6 string version in January and i think its brilliant the sound,playability and quality all brilliant

I read somewhere on the net that the open low F# on a 7/8 string resonates at 23Hz with the lower limit of human hearing being 20Hz so anything below that is useless

The Bass Merchant is a brilliant place I bought my 6 string from there a couple of months ago really good service

I have 5 basses but only use 3 and there's 2 more in the house that belong to my brother

Yeah thanks for this I really like the song and its gonna help my reading

A cheap 6 string fretless like this:

My first bass was a Peavey Milestone III Started playing bass because my hands were to big for guitar

I'll buy your book I'm really getting into Paul Chambers and Miles Davis

Thats is really nice What's the neck radius and string spacing?

I quite like that are they a band ? is there anymore videos of them ?
