You can do anything with any instrument, as long as you're good, like Tom for example.
-
@cmglandt You can totally do all that with guitar, it's just that most guitarists don't focus on certain techniques.

it's definitely fretless. Those are merely lines, not frets, you can tell by the smooth slides and the distinctive growl. (could be a conversion) You'd hear stair-stepping in the slides if there were frets.Frets would reflect the stagelights, also.

@TransformerMusic You may well be right, I still believe it to be fretless though. I have a fretted Fender Jazz and it sounds very distinct from his which leads me to believe it is a fretless, particularly all those ridiculous slides.

@1Meursault1 Not picking holes but I think that it isn't fretless, Not saying it's any less impressive though. It's just a low quality vid, I think if you check the flash at 1.21 you can clearly see its frets

Fucking awesome. He can genuinely do everything with music.



This shows why bassists make the best arrangers. Once you get out of the background, it's the most expressive stringed instrument as it (especially fretless) has the ability to bridge rhythm, lead, and percussive elements. Can't do that with a guitar.

im sorry but... being able to play a fretless, in the dark, with flashing lights and loud background music... takes some ridiculous skill
