ELECTRIC FRETLESS MONSTERS???!!!!!!
- Thread starter CRICKETBREATH
- Start date
If you ever come across either of Mo Fosters cd's, Bel Assis or Southern Reunion, get it. Sure it's kinda new agey but there is a serious edge to it and Mo's tones are to just die for. The song titled 'Crete Revisited' is one of the scarriest things that I've ever heard, and I hear a lot.
Not yet but I'm gonna find it. Thanx BOriginally posted by JMX
Wow, I think this is the first time ever that Hansford was mentioned @ TB.
Have you by chance heard the Steel Blue album?
That just intonation stuff is awesome.
(just trying to help you out
)
I recommend you listen to Dann Glenn. He is one helluva player, and has some insane chops. His fretless sound is amazing. He plays modern jazz/fusion. It is really out there, stuff I've never heard before, but I like it a lot.
All of his solo CD's are done all by himself. All of the voices on it are created by one 6 string fretless bass, and he makes the different voicings by using midi. It is really insane when you listen to it, to think that it is all done on one bass by one person.

I love Steve Swallow, but he plays a fretted five-string with a high C. It used to be a Parker, but I think he's moved on to a different make and model.
In the Jazz style; Scott Pazera, a local bassist here in Indiana here's the link www.scottpazera.com! He's a monster has two Cd out check em' out at his site!
The guy who played with Adrian Belew on his "Lone Rhino" album was bad. Last name was Mayhew; no idea if he's still playing around. Great disc, BTW...it was supposedly going to be rereleased on CD this year.
J. Clifton Mayhew. No idea what bass he used; sounds like yer basic J-bass bridge pickup sound to me.
If you want a woman fretless player check out Rhonda Smith. And another bassists not many know is Alain Caron, more known as the bassist who pulls out the solo at the end of the song on "Call Me Al" by Paul Simon. Did anyone mention Jack Bruce?
