Tlbasss Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ooh what a question. There's many great fretless players out there. The ones that spring to mind are; Percy Jones (Brand X) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TALWkw3cWqA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TALWkw3cWqA[/url] Wilbur Bascomb ( Jeff Beck - Wired) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHK210Cblwg&feature=fvsr"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHK210Cblwg&feature=fvsr[/url] Dave Ball (Barabara thompsons Paraphernalia) and hundreds more!

Stag Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 For a related lovely fretless bassline that I enjoy playing, try Hey You by Pink Floyd. Integral part of the song as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This is probably my favourite fretless bass performance ever: Percy, of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) [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] 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.
