Grandfather's Clock:Fretless Bass solo

[ivuivuivu]

great performance! how did you use the h4 as an interface? using the mic or the line in? thanks

[TaterGumfries]

Very nice. You could make it even better if you voiced the 5th chord in the progression (the return to tonic) differently, maybe with the 6th degree in the bass.

[RelativeDegree92]

It makes me relax :) really nice.

[eusiev]

Nice Bass, Love the AFR's, a pitty though that the string height is a bit too high for my linking. Great playing though, thanks for posting.

[impulsoprog]

beautiful.

rounds or flats??

[studio9999]

Thanks!

I use flatwound.

[guitarbass95]

nice, i've seen fretless basses on the guitar center web site but i've seen one in action. is there any sound difference?

[gebass6]

The plucked note on a fretless has a "BWOW' sound.When you pluck the string,the string vibrates against the fingerboard at the beginning of the note.Then it vibrates free of the fingerboard.Creating it's signature sound.

[djosephj]

Hell yes my bass freak brother!

[Bassplyr1470]

I really like your intonation. Its not dead on when you hit the chords but slides there really quick which gives it a really nice sound. Real tight man, keep it up.

[Javic2112]

Amazing playing! Great fretless sound! I hope being able to play like this someday!

[studio9999]

Thank you so muxh.

[studio9999]

[teofthe]

this is great, the bass chords sound amazing!

[studio9999]

Thank you. The intnationl at a high position is still difficult.

[monkey01madness]

Awesome intonation.

[studio9999]

Thanks.

[treasurewm1234]

awesome playing man, sick fretless tone too.

u say thats an ibanez? ive never seen a 4 string fretless 1, is it custom? or did they stop making them or somthing?

[studio9999]

This bass is Ibanez AFR A204 bass.

It is not custom.

It goes out of production about 25 years or more ago.

[treasurewm1234]

lol ah well. shame for me. thanks anyway.

[falconmarshal]

[CheckmateRed]

I have to say that I thought that was bloody brilliant!

[studio9999]

Thanks so much!I

[remistofeles]

Dude, I have a zoom b1x FX pedal, and posted a tutorial about how to recreate the sound of some bassists like Tony Levin and Cliff Burton. Check it out, it's the latest one I uploaded :-)

[hiroyuki6]

お上手ですねー＾＾僕もなごり雪弾こうと練習し始めたんですが、­、いまいちひきかたがわからなくて。。

こんな風に弾いて見たいです・・・（笑）

[studio9999]

ありがとうございます。まだまだ、ピッチが微妙なんで、もっと頑­張ります。アレンジを変えて、上を向いて歩こうに挑戦中です。

[santiagolonzieme]

[robydiee]

[studio9999]

THANK SO MUCH!

[Zander4724]

i get jealous when i see how people can do chords on a fretless! fantastic stuff!

if anyone has a minute, check out my SOLO BASS piece:

tapping and harmonics solo bass - epic love

[studio9999]

Thank you. I saw your video. And, the comment and the evaluation were done.

I thought that your performance the most beautiful was performance and music in the

solo base that had been seen up to now.

[Zander4724]

studio, just saw this comment of yours. THANKS A LOT!

your fretless playing is awesome!

are you going to put up a new vid soon?

[Zander4724]

[ryou0428]

かっこいいです

[studio9999]

ありがとうございます！

[OswaldLeRabbit]

ii desu yo! I used to play this tune with a ukelele. Your version is much better though. well done mate.

[studio9999]

Thanks So much."arigatou-desu!"

[shotgun655]

This is probably one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard on a fretless bass. This rivals songs like Victor Wooten's Amazing Grace and such. Simply amazing. I recently got a fretless Fender bass, and I am hoping that if I can even come close to how well you have performed this piece, then I will be content. Again, extremely well done.

[studio9999]

Thank you for the evaluation that greatly becomes it.

Hereafter, I want to pursue Fretless bass not to be ashamed of the evaluation.

[todds7]

Great Job. People don't realize how hard chords are on fretless -- especially way up the neck, where spacing gets so tight. You did a great job, friend.

[studio9999]

Thank you. Certainly, harmony at a high position is very difficult in Fretless bass.

Still, it is necessary to practice me. However, I think that the sound is very beautiful. Therefore, I want to challenge.

[Kaplocek]

i have never played on fretless bass but i love this clear sound.very nice dude.keep going.

[studio9999]

Thanks.I grateful your commennt.

[Thommee]

Great work! Please send me the sheet music if you can! Thanx!

[studio9999]

[jdmbates]

Beautiful voicing. Your chordal work is wonderful and your sense of time is very precise. Brilliant composition.

[studio9999]

Thank you. I think that your comment is an evaluation that exceeds my ability. I am

grateful.

[bassmasta7]

freakin beautiful man you make that bass sound like an angels harp way to go man

[studio9999]

Thank you. I terribly liked the phrase "Angels harp".

[studio9999]

Thanks!

Your guitar is also wonderful. I like your guitar sound very much. The minor key arrangement in the

latter half is beautiful.
