    Brighter Tone with Fretless Bass

    No matter what kind of strings you use, you will eventually experience fingerboard wear. Flatwounds will still wear the fretboard, so I say don't worry about it. My current fretless is a David Minnieweather 6 string with a rosewood neck, and I use Fodera nickel roundwounds without a problem. It...

    "The Official Marleaux Bass Club"

    I wanna join now. I just got a Marleaux Custom Mbass 6 string with the round Delano pickups, and it is providing some very unique tones. On top of that, it is constructed with beautiful woods, which makes it even better.

    The best fretless bass guitar ever?

    I have played/owned many fretless basses from a Squier VM to an F bass AC, Pedulla pentabuzz, and a Zon. However the best that I have played (and is currently my number one bass) is my David Minnieweather 6 string fretless. It has the perfect balance of tone with the rosewood fingerboard, maple...

    David Minnieweather fretless question

    I have a David Minnieweather fretless bass as well, and I wish I could tell you more about it but I just bought it used. My bass uses many of the same woods (wenge/purpleheart neck and rosewood fingerboard). I am just excited to have found someone else who owns one of his wonderful basses. Here...

    Wow, thank you. This song, like many of Ozzy's other basslines, has really solid, driving basslines. You did a very good job of replicating that sound. Some sections seemed like a hybrid between tool and dream theater, very cool.

    Your fretless experience?

    i recently found a beautiful custom david minnieweather 6 string fretless bass in a local music store. It has become my main bass and I love playing it. I have perfect pitch so intonation has not been an issue. I love the extended range the 6 string gives me, but more advanced chord voicings...

    Victor Wooten Summer Bass Workshop Audition

    Hey, I am planning on going to this next summer, and I wondering if what we are playing for the audition will be something to a backing track or a solo. I play a fretless 6 string, so I want to do something unique. I can't decide what to do, so I am wondering what you guys will be looking for.
