René_Julien Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hello to all. Belgian bassist here. I'm a regular at TalkBass. In fact through TalkBass I discovered this forum. I noticed several members and friends of me there are on here as well. About me as a bassist: I love playing fretless, play it almost exlusively. I've got a wonderful Fender Tony Franklin fretless precision bass and a Roscoe Century Signatury 4-string fretless. (And a Gadow fretless 4-string J/MM on the way.) I have a love/hate relationship with effects. My collection is expanding... but I don't use much. Mostly delay and volume pedal. And I'm turning into a Electro Harmonix fanboy. Ampwise: I'm running a Gallien Krueger 1001RB-II into a Hartke 410XL, with a TL Audio 5051 Mono Valve Processor (tube compressor + equalizer). I'm much into metal, mostly progressive, progressive rock, classic rock, classical. I'm thinking of a new Hartke rig, LH1000 + HyDrive 410... or maybe going the Barefaced route. That's a big reason why I join this forum, for the Bareface forum. But I'll take the grand tour of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris[/quote] I live about 50km above Liège. And that would be Luik for me since I am flemish, I live in the dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Yes, I fell in love with fretless precision basses about a year ago. I've been playing for 10 years now, last 9 years mostly fretless. I had quite a few fretlesses, and tried out many. I tried the Tony Franklin out... a bass that I would have never considered based on looks and specs... but when I tried it out... Best fretless I ever played. Well for me this one is the best. It just feels soooo right. I'm on the lookout for a vintage Fender fretless precision. Edited November 27, 2009 by René_Julien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
