my first EB was fretted --- they all were at the time --- and coming from DB i thought the frets "wouldn't make any difference" because i just wanted a smaller and more portable bass instrument. i had to move to fretless immediately!

Not to worry, I'm fat, bald, old and irrelevant.My favorite bass is a four-string passive Fender. And I love my Honda Fit.
1) The best investment you can make in your sound can't be purchased, except in the currency of hours in the practice room and actively listening to masters, preferably in a live setting.
2) "Easy to play" and "cuts through live" are often not as related as we would like when it comes to setups and strings.

Hi!
Thank you! I may have learned these at one time way back in my theory and composition classes in college but they've been long forgotten. I love the term "hemidemisemiquaver". It's what Mrs. BassCliff does to my heart.
Thank you for your indulgence,

When I first started playing bass when I was a kid, I wasn't immediately shown how to tune it properly. My assumption was that you just tighten each tuning key until it stopped.

Hi Boss
Quaver (usually Quaver 56) is my pen name. Obviously Brit so all proper names for everything, classic based training, I was taught that a quaver "Should be Short, Sharp and Sh!! HOT". Nothing like me but I took the moniker.
I used to think that string was baby rope.
I used to think Pluto was a planet, but what is he?
I used to think a Uvula was something naughty.

The first time I heard that from some Brit Euro musicians I was in a band with my Texas self laughed HARD, needless to say it was an awkward moment. Semi-quaver, Demi-Quaver....
A guy in my school almost lost his eye for a similar thing.
I thought I was right about not needing a metronome... (my tempo is fairly good without, in fairness). What a difference it makes for writing some harder lines and making sure you are tight with the kick.
