Just tossing this out there...IMO/IME of course... :ninja:

Intonation: is it learned or inherent? While I think anyone can grasp the concept and continually work toward fine-tuning (no pun intended) the technique, I'm also convinced that the really good fretless players in this world just, at least at a basic level, have the gift. I wish I did, but I've accepted the fact that I don't. It's an ongoing process for me, and at that...some days it's there, but on others it's just time to reach for another axe. :D

Jerry,

Take this with a grain of salt as I have no practical experience (Fretless) and what I'm about to say isn't directed at you personally, but I quoted your post as it coincides with a personal philosophy I'd like to share here.

I'm a firm subscriber to the idea that anything "man" conceive and believe he can achieve. Ie; If I'm persistant and work hard enough toward the goal of "decent/passable" intonation, even I:ninja: could attain such.

Having said that I'd have lines, and lean on them heavily:hiding::smug:

I know I'm essentially reiterating your point, but I wanted to share my opinion/theory, as it's served me well when I've been told "You can't do .............":spit: (I hate those three words)

:D

God Bless, Ray

No one, and I do mean NO ONE can play fretless anything with out a lot of practice, and patience. Even the greats have a practice schedule they adhere to every day. Methodical muscle memory exorcises and ear training. Aspiring to perfection...

Steve, I admire you and Jerry and all the other players here. You guys are my greats in that I respect and aspire to attain the skill level I hear from all you guys. And the greatest thing for me personally is everyones' accessability and willingness to both inspire and encourage me and others as well.

Thanks,;)

God Bless, Ray

Ray, I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that it's good to hear everyones progress on all levels. I dig the contributions every one has made on the soundclips page so much so that I've downloaded them all to my hard drive. Jerry's observation is accurate at least to me on this level. There are those to whom music & playing bass is more a hobby than an all consuming passion. And thats OK as long as you recognize that. But for those truly obsessed, passionate musical individuals that sacrifice having a good time partying or whatever to practice and learn then there is no obstacle so great that they can't achieve what they aspire to. It just takes dedication and practice, and the discipline to stick to it....

Jason P's bass is starting to look like a bass. He asked them to try to get some sapwood on the body, and of course Roscoe delivers!!

Just wow. Beautimous!

And by the way...news flash: I'm an idiot. Too many threads to stay current on stuff. So, in typical not-enough-coffee fashion, I read, "Jason P's bass" as, "Jason's P bass." What? Roscoe is doing a P bass? Really? Oh. never mind. Ain't easy being me, folks. :D

Though, Roscoe could make a really killer "P" bass. A Century Standard "P" using a quad coil pickup for lots of funkolicious tone.
