As they say: "Having frets on your neck is like being married. When you play a fretless, you are courting the girls of your dreams". Great video and beautiful sounding basses!
Fantastic explanation and brilliant insights! I just finished defretting my backup bass today, I'll be assembling it tomorrow so I was looking for some tips on the "mwah", this covers it brilliantly!
Love this! I, like you have been playing bass for over 5 decades. I'm retired from gigging but still hit the jams. About two years ago I bought a cheap chinese fretless Jazz knock-off. Slapped a good set of flats on it and set the action low and straight. It has become my go to bass. I get complimented all the time for how the bass sounds. It takes a different touch for sure. Thanks for posting the first serious series on fretless playing that I can find. Love this channel. Keep 'em coming. Thank you sir for helping me keep my mind active.
Thank you very much I'm learning so much from you haven't taken up the bass guitar later in life.... I'm in my late 60s I don't really read but I like to put on Spotify and play along and just recently purchased an Ibanez 500 I believe it's an FH fretless beautiful instrument thank you so much again I subscribed
I learned a whole lot from you video that I couldn't figure out on my own. I appreciate you sharing so much valuable knowledge aaaand getting into the groove. I've caught myself thumping away for long periods of time with your videos more than any other. Gracias!

Simply the best-and we are lucky to have these videos. You are missed.
I admire your honesty. Not many CZcamsrs admit they are making videos because the just want to talk about them selves and show off.
An amazing and clear explanation, as always the best teacher ...
That quilt being you looks great. My wife is a quilter so over the years I've acquired an eye and appreciation for them...anyway...back to the bass☺
..play, rest, repeat.👍
Even though I have a bruised knuckle in my right hand, this video lesson motivates me to go practice a little. More videos please...
I'm sorry I never met you, sir. You are a generous, wise, talented, and very good man.
