Random question: Do you find playing a fretless harder or do your fingers just go to the positions naturally because of how many years you've played?

[bassowman]

@videovader101 If I relax it is not harder than a fretted bass after some years of playing. It is when you think too much it is starting to get difficult.

[TheBassfresh]

sure SOUNDS like flats mate....u should try some Thomastic JF344 flats if u haven't already, I think you'd like them.

[bassowman]

The rounds are worn:-) The Thomastik JF344 are great. I use them on my Precision playing on my Brick House vid. I have also had those on my Hagström Super Swede Bass (the ABBA playalongs).

Hunter/Pastorius - All American Alien Boy

is that full name of this song?

[bassowman]

All American Alien Boy by Ian Hunter performed by said Ian Hunter featuring Jaco Pastorius on bass.

classic!

Just the fact that you are playing to an Ian Hunter song tells me you either are or have the potential to be a great artist. You also get points for looking cool and hip while playing. I want to hear you do a bass solo version of this song. (maybe with a drum track).

[zombiespacebat]

its unusual to see a fretless with blocks, was the neck once fretted?

[ArmorOfChrist777]

Sounds fantastic!!

[popitn2nd]

Will you be so kind sending me the song file? I bought this song on itunes but it did not have the bass solo.
