are you usiong flatwounds or rounds?

[herrpetermann]

I play roundwounds(mostly Foderas)

[askrere]

@herrpetermann It doesnt chew up the fretboard?

[herrpetermann]

Not yet.

It was defretted 15 years ago.

It´s never been my main bass, but I played it a lot.

[crazymann]

it is a converted fretless bass?

[herrpetermann]

" it´s a 82/83 Squier JV. It had all the Jaco treatment a long time ago. At least the defretting and the laquer Fretboard"

Yeah it is a fretless, actually. A tip for the future - if you are going to accuse someone of mental illness, don't display qualities of the mentally ill yourself.

@ShakinSlim its not a real vibrato tho.... i mean you can make the note sharper by bending it side to side but you cant go more flat, as you can on a fretless by sliding horizontally both ways.

[ShakinSlim]

@TheFunkyCriminal You can create vibrato on anything. You do it by sliding left to right, similar to on violin/cello etc, rather than bending. Who are you to say what one can and cannot do, even if it's an uninformed opinion in the first place. Learn your musical terms mate

Great job! Very pretty...You gave me some ideas

[KaBonkful]

@chapanese96 Its a pickup cover. Mostly for aesthetics.

I like foderas a lot too. I only use foderas for my electric basses.

[TheFunkyCriminal]

[Seattlecarnut]
