I would say (certainly with a covers band) it totally depends on which song the fretless bass is part of. Some songs would demand it, some not. On certain songs from the Paul Young 'No Parlez' and beyond stuff, Pino Palladino played fretless straight with little to no vibrato. Jack Bruce with Cream too. If it enhances what's going on with the bassline, fair enough. Can't say it's ever bugged me watching someone playing fretless with vibrato though.. Mwaaah π -
Took me weeks to nail it π

Oh, and this one also on fretless. What a great bass line IMO ππΌ I found this a real challenge to play and sing vocals over the top, but one of my favourite 80's songs ππΌ

Nicely done Mike, it's a great line to play ππΌ Our guitarist plays the muted trumpet solo on his Roland guitar synth, we see some puzzled looks on faces when he does that on guitar π€

Bought a preamp from Brian, great chap to deal with, swift response to PM's, complete with pics of Post Office posting receipt. Arrived superbly packaged and in excellent condition too. Deal with confidence, thanks Brian ππΌ

What are your tone control options/ideas? 2 band eq or 3 or passive? I can recommend John East's MM 3 band preamp to compliment that pickup, I used both in my 'BlazerRay' renovation documented on here, they are a fantastic combination but would require a battery compartment and side jack socket π€ Bass looks great tho, nice work! ππΌ

Quick update π Three years to the day I completed this bass π² I'm pleased to say it'll actually be getting a chance to be played in front of an audience at some point during this coming year - Putin permitting π€¬- instead of being picked up and played in the living room ππ Since retiring two years back, I've persuaded three old bandmates to have one last hoorah, resurrecting a band the four of us were once in. We played our final gig on March 1st 2000, 22 years ago. π Looking forward to finally gigging the BlazerRay after completing it 3 years back, I'm also pleased to say its still in one piece and hasn't split.. ππΌ π

Something about these beauties that gets me every time I see one ππΌ Takes me back to the 70's when every weekend me and my mates would visit our local music store Whites. I recall one of these was the most exotic - and most expensive - basses I'd ever seen hanging on the wall in there. And I was always met with a blunt 'no' when asked if I could play one... π Obviously they knew I neither had the skill, nor the funds to be worthy πππ GLWTS ππΌ
