MBD!!!

But please, upload an example that uses the B string!

Edit: or is it E to C?

Here's a quick and dirty recording of a pop country song which uses the low B. The bass tone is not really appropriate, but at least you can hear the low B in action. After reading your request I actually found it hard to find songs which have much of the low B string going on. I guess I am one of those who use the low B string as a very expensive thumb rest!

That low B sounds impressively deep! Thanks.

23" scale fretless? Wow, I'm impressed. I have enough challenges playing in tune on a 32" scale fretless.

Gorgeous bass, btw!

This is pretty impressive, since the margin for intonation error is much smaller the shorter scale you go.

Thanks! Here is a quick recording of a well known song which is usually fun to play but on a 23" scale fretless five string with no lines is quite challenging. I lose intonation several times and I keep praying for the chorus!
