This is a search-engine-friendly text mirror of the TalkBass Forums XDamianX 09-11-2002, 08:45 PM Everytime I play on my amp with my fretless, it sounds flat. I place my fingers as close to the fret lines as possible without going to the next note. can someone help? another thing is that my tone knob on my guitar is near up all the way, could that lead to the flatness?:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Listen 09-11-2002, 08:53 PM I can't tell if you mean the note is flat or the tone. If you're talking about the notes being flat, maybe you need to get your bass intonated. XDamianX 09-11-2002, 08:56 PM i mean when i hit a note, it sounds flat i was saying that my tone knob on my bass is always half turned up, like not a full limit what is intonated?

Exactly, but I can't tell if he's talking about being out of tune or just a crappy tone.
