I had been wanting a fretless since even before I started learning how to play. I finally got one maybe two months ago, and I haven't touched my fretted since. I don't know if I'll be able to get back to it.

So this happened, at last! Guys, I've been wanting a fretless for ever, and it's finally here! My motivation to play and learn had taken a hit lately, due to my teacher retiring from teaching (how dared he) and covid-related anxiety flares. I was a few months without touching my bass (or even...

My teacher told me once "Mind your alternance when you're practicing technique (and do practice technique), but don't think about it when playing songs. Just play the song and hope your technique is good." Sounded like good advice to me.
