Mods, I think this belongs here. Videos aren't necessary.
Maybe this thread will become a good thread to check out if any new fretless players want to know more. |

|  | Cogito Ergo Idiot | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: SF Bay Area, CA | | There are so many. Off the top of my head I can think of three amazing fretless players that always inspire me. Two of which are more famous for their techniques on fretted axes... Gary Willis Alain Caron Victor Wooten Edit
Mark - I just wanted to thank you so much for posting those McBride and Bona videos. Man, what a great experience watching/listening Pat Metheny play in a trio setting with those guys. Their ensemble playing is so awesome, and then the solos...particularly trying to say something after a Metheny solo...just ridiculous.
I have such a man-crush on Richard Bona.

Randy Tico
Mark Egan
In the '70s, I seem to recall that each used a modified P-bass (Jazz Bridge PU added).
