whoa, never seen a bass like this one..its like a fretless and fretted bass all in one.

 

[puff father]

Wow! I've never seen anything like that either but I want one!

If I see this video one more time, i'm going to snap.

It is cool none the less.

I really really dont like the tone. I dont care if it can turn into an elephant, it sounds thin.

 

[Baryonyx]

The tone didn't drive me wild, and for the cost of those basss, I'd expect a lot more than just an innovative fret system....

 

[iamlowsound]

thats sweet, i wonder what manring could do with that. i liked the freted tone but the fretless tone was lacking, but i think that was his playing not the bass

[bill_banwell]

Thats amazing, great idea!

 

[cgworkman]

I'm the opposite. I liked the fretless sound but didn't like the fretted. It sounded like crap.

 

[CBRStingray]

I think it sounded great. I'm not sure how the fretted/fretless system works or if it would be durable, but it seems like a pretty good idea. I like it.

Wow! Amazing concept and a very good player. Thanks for bringing that to the forum.

 

[Sound Chaser]

What kind of bass is that? Seems like an interesting concept.

 

[vene-nemesis]

Sounds like my Vigier in Out of Phase mode.

i think these ones are cooler

Groovy Nice playing, innovative idea, I dig it. I really don't see what's wrong with the tone either. I've heard MTD's that don't sound that good.

It doesnt look very stable. Looks like one day the frets are either gonna collapse in OR just fall out.


Too much change in 1 instrument isnt good IMO. Its like the variax. But thats not as bad since the variax only changes electronically.

Yay, Google video now "supports" my country and I can view their stuff!

I think the slap part on fretted didn't sound that good because the guy had an extremely middy sound going on.
This is bound to cause neck stability problems, though. I imagine this working pretty well with a graphite neck, though.

for me it would make more sense, if the frets were on the upper end of the board (12th and up) as I have difficulty with intonation up there and little difficulty on the lower end.

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Thats been posted here what . . . 5, 6 times now?

 

[Don't_Fret]

I support segregation of fretted and fretless. Equal, but separate.

Problem being, the board for the lower registers would have to be raised above the frets. Otherwise, you'd just be playing at the thirteenth fret anytime you were playing fretless.
