Absolutely.. I don't care for the sound of rounds on a fretless, but we're all different!

@Deathrape2001 Ha ha.. you're funny. I like you.

@wateroftyne BTW: Your bass is not your penis. U can sell it & buy something better, like a fretless Travis Bean 4 instance =D ( = early Mick Karn)

@wateroftyne Mocking me doesn't change the fact that everything I say is obvious & correct & will help U achieve better tone. Also, calling obvious, verifiable fact an 'opinion' does not make it so.

@Deathrape2001 Well, you know what they say about opinions... :-D

Now just imagine how much better it would sound with a Music Man instead of that Fender fart krap! =)

Have these strings light - medium or high tension ? What gauges are they ?

@ChurchillCigar - They are La Bella 760FL.

@jollybeggars I know but how do they feel ? The gauge is medium (43-104) but are they flexible ?

@ChurchillCigar - They feel flexible enough to me, without being floppy like TIs. The perfect balance, in my opinion.

Nice sound and nice playing. I've already converted to flatwound strings (presently thomastik), and your videos make me want to go fretless.
The headstock of your ebony neck looks vintage. Is it from an another old bass or did you change the fingerboard of your rosewood neck to ebony?

@eluxoso - The neck is a borrowed from a luthier friend. He's had it a lot of years! I've since had him make me another one, which also has a vintage tint.
