First recording on fretless 5 I made myself.

[Reticle]

It's not the most elaborate bass line I've ever written but it is what the song called for.

The songs -
Just Like Them by Jean Jacket
Price by Jean Jacket

Sick song,even sicker bass.

 

[Reticle]

Thanks a ton man! How is Amelia Island? I used to play down there at Slider's years ago.

 

[Raven2k360]

Tasty tunes man!

 

[Reticle]

Thanks man! I'm itching to get back in the studio now so bad it hurts.

 

[Duce-hands]

That bass is so bad ass. Care to share the maker/model or is it a custom?

 

[Reticle]

I am the maker, built it in my garage. I did borrow the body shape from a Peavey B Quad but the rest is of my own design.

Very nicely done! Like the song and your tone. You're right, your bass line fits that song like a glove, moving when it can, steady when it should be. Great job...

 

[Reticle]

Thanks man, the compliments really do mean a lot to me coming from other players.

Here is a link to some pics of the bass being built. It was started fot the Fretless 5 String competition in the Luthier's Corner but real life help me up and I wasn't able to finish by the deadline.

From the picture posted; fantastic craftmanship. Form the links (sound bytes) awesome sound, great tunes.

 

[JSK5String]

Just listened to Price, LOVE that tune. Sounds like something Alice in Chains wished they had written...

 

[Duce-hands]

The bassline is great, but man I'm in love with that bass. Kudos!!!!!

 

[Reticle]

Can't thank y'all enough for the kind words! We are going back to the studio this weekend (hopefully) to make some final tweaks to the songs and should have the final mix soon after.
