How do i fix this fretless issue?

[Josh Emmons]

The E A D strings on the entire neck have that "mwah" sound, but the G doesn't have that. No matter how I play... Is there any way I can get the G string to have that "mwah"?

Mwah is caused by the interaction of the strings buzzing on the fingerboard. Lower the saddle on the bridge for the G string some. That should increase mwah.

I'm wondering if this is more of a technique issue than a technical one. Two thoughts... the lowest possible action will result in less finger pressure needed to fret the string... which helps bring out the sound you're looking for. On that note... perhaps a lower gauge/tension string would also help. But I still think this might be more of a technique issue...

It isn't playing technique. i have played at all positions and played light, or hard, and everywhere in between.

height issue?

String gauge? Flats or rounds?

Then tell us a bit about the instrument. Is this a new instrument? Is this a "new" used instrument? Did this just develop? Or has it always been this way? Last time you changed strings? Etc....

Any more background info you can give will only make the responses you get more informed...

Funny, in my fretless I think the G is the one with too much mwah.
