Listen to his work on Michele Colombiers album.. it is THE benchmark AFAIAC. But..in the spirit of this thread, Lincoln Goines on Dave Grusin. forget the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1074611' date='Jan 1 2011, 06:31 PM']This has to be my favourite fretless bass recording to date if I take Jaco out of the equation. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfh3p0qcSLs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfh3p0qcSLs[/url] What outstanding fretless bass tracks spring to your mind?? No Jaco !![/quote] That's creepy! I saw the thread title and my first thought was "Aquamarine!!" - then I opened it to see this as the OP!! Cool choice, and one of my all-time favourites. Nothing flashy or over the top, just tasteful and lifts the track to somewhere sublime... David Margen isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 [quote name='Bilbo' post='1076125' date='Jan 3 2011, 11:03 AM']This John Giblin track sold me my Wal [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClCvm4eAT38&feature=related"]April[/url] It wasn't until later that I realised it was the tune, not the sound, that moved me.[/quote] April is one of my fave warm-up/practice pieces (or as my seven year old daughter says, "Oh Daddy you always play that"). Lovely tune and it's really good for intonation practice as it moves a long way up and down the fingerboard. It wasn't just John Giblin that got me playing fretless though (and made me sell everything to buy a Wal in my 20s), it was mainly Percy Jones (Jaco and Eberhard too), and he's not had a mention so far in the thread, which is near criminal. Anything off the Masques album would do, but the title track is a bit special: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQYkBwfzHAc&feature=related Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1075490' date='Jan 2 2011, 05:16 PM']Jeff Berlin once said he doesn't bother with fretless because everyone just ends up sounding like Jaco. For me though, Pino's playing is unbeatable and original.[/quote] Yeah, Graceland sounds just like Weather Report with vocals.... It's hard to think of a bass player with a more distinctive 'voice' to his playing than Kumalo.

slobluesine Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 yeah but who cares, yep, Erskine is a total demon. gotta stop talkin bout Jaco or we'll get detention lets start a new thread 'best fretlless bass track JACO ever did,' oh...

urb Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 'Hymn' by Gary Willis - his solo and sound are just stunning - I've looked for a stream of the track but can't find it - it's the last track on his album 'No Sweat' - the best post-Jaco fretless player IMHO (Manring is up there as well of course!)

megallica Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Tony Levin's bass line on Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer is one of my favourite fretless lines. Got to mention Steve DiGiorgio too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
