What effects do you use with fretless bass?

All of them, it's a major annoyance to the rest of the band.

No, usually no effects with fretless, or maybe a touch of detuned chorus or a touch of phaser.

At home I may fool around with synth sounds; octaver+overdrive+filter is fun with fretless.

Chorus is the winner here. But, also, octave. Especially octave.

Sledgehammer!

 

[Grissle]

A bridge pickup helps for me.

It's like dirt track racing. You just kinda slide around the corners.

I play really lazy like on fretless. I really don't lift my fingers off the fretboard.
