Ooh what a question. There's many great fretless players out there. The ones that spring to mind are;

Percy Jones (Brand X)

Comfortably numb sounds nice on a fretless too, although it wasn't recorded with one

It wasn't until later that I realised it was the tune, not the sound, that moved me.[/quote]
It's a lovely earworm of a tune & a great fretless practice piece. Probably a subconcious influence on my going 'bareback' :)

Have the other version from 'Is There Anything About?'



Then another bit of Percy Jones goddness, Malaga Virgen. I prefer the stunning take on 'Livestock', but this'll do...



The real reason I went fretless... Pino again, this time on Paul Rodgers' 'Muddy Water Blues' album.



[i][b]That's[/b][/i] how you play a slow blues.

Finally, another one from the MWB set, killer tone:



Pete.
