Bebop Charlie - Fretless Bass

[ZoydWheeler]

But if JP Moore says different then I am all wet - I'm just repeating what I heard, sorry if I got it wrong.

Not written for Parker - written for disc jockey Chuck Niles

didnt like it at all.

it wasnt melodic what so ever.

the whole magic in parker was his ability to make something that is quite a lot off scale to sound that natural, melodic and beautiful.

and most of all, it would flow.

it feels to me that this lacked all of the above.

wait a moment.. this bass sound amazingly fretless.. but i see frets... how it's possible? However, congratulation for your playing, you are a very good musician

[tshred666]

@secco7878 those are fret markers. a good chunk of fretless basses have them.

[shroomadelic]

Is it just me or does that "fretless bass" have frets....

[BobbiBoixoxo]

WTF!!!!!

0:51 is amazing and so unique! I can't wait to add that to my arsenal. Does anyone know if that was a pinch harmonic?

[lsoprimus]

With those congas very reminescent of jaco's Donna lee. I would love to hear this with some drums . I love your playing.

[SriJah]

Yeah man, that's the first thing I thought.

Good bass playing, I like the staccato notes . . .

[smallduarte]
