I lovesyour fret less, and your playing. I play more progressive rock myself. Have you ever tried D'Addario flat wounds? I love them, the tone is fantastic.

[ijazzmunki]

I'm using a little bit of reverb and a small amount of chorus more for a kind of stereo effect, the sound is good on headphones!

[bassist357]

what effect is that your using?

[Fabinosto]

What kind of strings do you use ? Roundwound ?

Great job.

[ijazzmunki]

@Fabinosto yep roundwounds - D'Addario EXLs

[TheMusiciansFriend]

is that ireal b backing tracks i hear?

[Sousanators]

man youve got some of the nicest basses im so jealous

[XxDisciple666xX]

no offense to your tone, but i would like to request less effects, i know theres not much, but the clean tone of a fretless is just so much more beautiful in my ears

[ijazzmunki]

@XxDisciple666xX no worries I kind of agree - sorry for the chorus on this - I just posted a new vid with just a small amount of reverb on this bass and it sounds really nice - check out my channel's homepage

i know i might sound retarded, but im not that much into fretless basses, but this song rocks :D but my question was, is that the normal tone of a fretless bass? or is there any effect on it? Dont blame me for not knowing! xD

[Domenix71]

@Raezioo 90% is its tone. 10% maybe is a small chorus (and a compressor, of course)

[Raezioo]

@Domenix71 Ok thanks ;D

[hahabass]

One, if not, THE best solo I've heard you play. Nice ideas, beautifully linked. Good on ya, Mike.

[BassmanDannyFox]
