Fretless in Gospel

Fire-Starter · #1 06-01-2006, 07:36 AM

I was listening to some praise and worship music, and thought about how nice a fretless would sound in some of the Gospel music I listen to, with it's MWAH, I think it would really add a beautiful voice to the music. Thoughts?

I play gospel/contemporary P&W as well and agree 100%. I plan on adding a fretless before the end of summer...should make for some interesting Sunday mornings

My new fretless (arriving soon, hopefully) will be used quite frequently at my church. We don't play Gospel, but it's still the same principle I guess, though we try to be more experimental like David Crowder...

I dont know what gospel music you listen to, but there is a song by the Miami Mass Choir called "What God has for me" that guy uses a fretless. Sounds great, real warm too

I use my fretless 5 sometimes for P & W ballads.

To be honest I would use it more it I weren't so lazy about hauling 2 basses!!

when I saw the title. I thought this was going to say:

The Gospel of _______ says, "blessed are the fretless, for they are truly devine."

And I don't even own one

I've taken my fretless to play at church on a couple of occasions.
I love playing my fretless, it's probably my first choice of bass these days.
For what ever reason, I still end up playing fretted most of the time though.

[quote=Joshua]When played tastefully, there's no style of music that couldn't be enhanced by sweet fretless tones...

+1.
End of story.
