I've heard that John Myung was an underrated fretless player! Is this true?
And if so, can someone post a recording of his fretless playing?

However, I don't think he would be regarded as an amazing fretless player. I suppose you could check out his work with Platypus as it may have some solid fretless stuff on it. It has a very cool one note groove which he pulls off without what some would say is his trademark flare.

And yes, hez no Jaco on fretless, but on frets hez truly a monster! Amazing bassist, and HUGELY under-rated. Max respect! |

<thread hijack>Now I wonder why it is that the coolest bass part on their latest DVD was actually recorded by Mike Portnoy. John is hardly in the whole DVD of them recording. You'd think he required a dark room, and for everyone to turn their back so he could play his bass or something...</thread hijack>

but if you mean that's the fretless he used, then, I've never seen any pics, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

As far as I'm concerned he's one of those guys who plays fretless bass as a bit of a novelty. Not that great at it, and not a great deal different to listening to him on a fretless bass. Which if you think about it, is a great horror. |
