  • where do you get your tabs? or do you play by ear?

  • @Doddlebop4 I used the "Queen Bass collection" book, but the rest are played by ear. Thanks

  • I've played the violin for years and have am going for my Grade 10 RCM.

    I'm deciding to pick up on another intrument, my Musician uncle suggested the fretless bass.

    It makes sense seeing as the layout of the fingerboard and strings is the same, but will I be able to play Rock/Pop songs on a fretless?

    ie Paul McCarteny Bass Lines :D

    Responses appreciated!

  • Of course you could play pop and rock songs with a fretless! Check out Tony Franklin...

  • Deacon is definitely not overrated. He is generally regarded as one of rock's premier bassists. He was equally adept at both pick and finger technique. Under Pressure was a classic example of his precision pick playing. He could have as easily used his fingers but had the musical scope to realize that the sound and feel of the pick attack was perfectly suited for this song.

  • Beautiful guitar! that pickguard is nice, and loved the G octave (3 and 5) in the 2nd chorus lol

  • @mthl1 So does this man, but it can be played on 7th fret G and D strings

  • @tiagojsky Different Pickguard if it is cos the Waters is all black lol

  • @LeoFernando1980 Slides are good

  • @iman1357 Sting sometimes played a fretless in The Police, I think Message In A Bottle and Walking On The Moon were both on fretless, possibly Roxanne too, and they're easy basslines as well :)

  • how do you get that tone, and how much do you use of each pickup, e.g 90% on the bridge, because u completely nailed it

  • john deacon would be very proud of you

    excellent job

  • @iman1357 You can also play the early Elvis songs on fretless (just like the upright basses).

  • you should make a Beatles' cover
