Hadrien Feraud: Mayones Jabba Fretless

I agree Doc, absolutely superb. It's almost as if he's channeling Jaco from 1976. He isn't of course, he's doing his own thing, but seldom does one hear musical ideas so beautifully expressed, with every nuance, note and phrase so perfectly articulated. Jaco was a master at it, and so, evidently, is Hadrien.
Blocks on a fretless is a no for me.
Beautiful, soulful playing on such a classy, sophisticated composition.
Yet the bass is called Mayones Jabba. Such a goofball name.

Agree, for esthetics. Looks like the fingerboard is coated, though, so it shouldn't affect the sound or feel.
fwiw on Mayones's custom builder tool I can't find a way to get a fretless with anything other than an ebony fingerboard, lined or unlined but no blocks. So I'll assume that the particular combination of wood (purpleheart, I think) and blocks on this one has more to do with Feraud having the clout to request it.
Hadrien’s videos with The Bass of Doom made me covet/buy/upgrade a fretless.
Then I realized how much WORK it is to play a fretless in tune with a band - so I sold it.
I am no Hadrien Feraud.
