Please give examples of albums or songs where the fretless bass is present but is not jazz music. I think now Frances the Mute and Octahedorn albums from the Mars Volta. |

Plus, I had no idea those dead notes were there, live and learn.

I might add that Individual Thought Patterns is the only album Steve recorded with Death.
Also, Jeroen Paul Thesseling's fretless sixer on Obscura's album Cosmogenesis is mindblowing. |

Fretted with a fretless, fretless with his EUB etc... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
