[shartne]

[chamucomx2003]

somebody should teach these song slowly for rookies ...!

at least the hard parts....there is people who wnats to improve but don't have resources...!

well done buddy....!

[whackyarmflailingtub]

thats not fretless.

[gebass6]

Frets have shadows and metallic glare.Those are fret lines.

[belial1237]

it sounds like you have round wounds on you fretless in stead of flat wounds like normal fretlesses have

[Nivtop2112]

You're right! That particular bass has very little sustain and I have found that using rounds on it helps. Cheers!

[gebass6]

Most fretless players, like me, that want a brighter sound use roundwounds.Flats are dull and dark sounding.But I also treat my fingerboard with Tung oil which hardens the fingerboard surface so that it resists wear.Stores will always sell a fretless with flats because they don't want to sell a bass with what little wear the roundwounds cause after customers play the instruments.

[ElPenguinoTV]

it's definitely a fretless, the slides sound smooth rather than "jumpy".

those are fret markers so you get the same sound but sacrifice less accuracy with your notes. the only disadvantage is a perfectly clean neck with no fret markers looks really awesome.

[snowdoguk]

Great stuff, love the enrgy in that song and the bass line really drives it along. Well played.

[Elliotcapper]

that aint a fretless

[Bromley45]

Yes it is. The lines are embedded in the neck

[Javic2112]

super! ton son est parfait...

[basskingp2]

nice cover. i'm still trying to master that song. and btw you have an awesome bass =)

[SquashedMan]

THATS NOT A FRETLESS. Nah just kidding. My fretless even has fret markers. Good cover though! :P

[vsefrtcc]

Nice job, im a huge fan of Geddy Lee's work and you did an awesome job. Keep up the good work!

[HoweEs175]

Nice job!!!

[bloodshotcow1]

When I first started watching this, I thought you were a half-step sharp from watching your hands, then I realized it's fretless.

[Dark10414]

tu jou bien ta quel age sa fait combien de temps que tu joue

[bruuutal]

great job man. im still trying to learn this song, but i cant find any tabs that are worth a crap. and btw, thats definitely a fretless dickwads.

[TOOCOOLFORYOUHA]

anyone that sez that isnt a fretless is a knob, liten to that slide, u can only get that sound by sliding on a fretless.

[edthehead83]

btw dude great job. although there were some rough areas, you are the only person on youtube who can correctly play the very first measure on bass. there is NO A sharp.

[Nivtop2112]

Thanks Dude! It's just soooo fun to have a comment other than "that isn't a fretless"! ;-)

[edthehead83]

lol no problem. i love playing this song too. id post some of my bass playing but i dont have the equipment to record :P

[Katmarou]

that isnt a fretless

[edthehead83]

how do u know? there are fret markers just not frets. otherwise how would u know where to play?

[zxcv1234vcxz]

On the sides of most fretless necks there are dots where the frets would be.

[edthehead83]

well that's only if there are lined fret markers on the fingerboard. it's tough to keep ur fingers where they need to b with only a dot because you don't look exactly straight down.

[whitestripesftw]

he's right, look at a gretsch duo jet, that has no fret markers, but it's still fretted. That's a fretted bass, just no fret indicators, it's a start, but a bass without fret lines is a true fretless, and sounds much better for sliding things. ^_^

[HG200]

sounds awsome..im just not a big fan of the 5 string basses..good job tho

[YidamBodhi]

Bon. Un p'tit commentaire en français pour changer... heille! bonhomme... merci b'en pour la détente ! J'avais les nerfs en boule ce soir alors je suis venu te voir "en performance"... et ça m'a fait le plus grand bien !

[Nivtop2112]

Cool! :-) J'en prépare une autre pour bientôt...

[Nivtop2112]

Thanks for your comment. Why have a fretless unless it's a completely clear board? Because you have the feel and the sound of a fretless on an instrument that is just easier to play. You can call it cheating if you like, but it suits me. ;-)

[Spartacus2112]

Is that a quebec nordiques shirt?

[Nivtop2112]

Yep!

[EsnkExcel5]

Lol, your little finger flick for the flamenco is just so funny looking, keep at it. +) Good job!

[Tentativepedestrian]

Fantastic job

[ROME530]

Look again .... the Bass isn't fretless!!

[Nivtop2112]

Yes it is! It has fret marks, but no frets.

[Towelietowel]

Well played.

[robass5]

rock on

[bluenote71]

Awesome.
