When You Think "Fretless"...

[jokerjkny]

... what brand do you think of?

 

[Jazz Ad]

F. I have Caron's image in my mind.
Then Eric Serra's 5 string Steinberger, with that peculiar "pinchy" 80s tone.

 

[René_Julien]

Just Fender.

 

[ehque]

Rob Allen

 

[tom5string]

My beloved Status S1 - maybe not the common thinking ...

 

[MattChancellor]

Fender and Warwick. But mainly Fender.

Stil dreaming of the fretless J I played today.. Nothing compares to it. But I need a guitar more than a bass

Zon
Pedulla
for starters...


But you can then expand to the world...
Fender (jaco)
MM (Pino)
Carvin (Tim Schmit)
[Compito] (Vic...yes victor plays very nice fretless) [said "Fodera", but Funkydan set me straight. thanks, mate ]
Fender again (Steve Bailey, but in 6)
Clement (Stew...one for you, Stew (and Tim)...and yes you are both nuts )
Oh...Spike (Sons of Korah) plays a Godin...very nice sounding bass...

I would say F bass...

Btw, Vic's fretless is a Compito

 

[wagstaff]

I would say I think of my fretless bass (Stagg BC300FL SB) because thats the fretless I'm most familiar with.

 

[Munjibunga]

Pedulla.

 

[GeoffByrne]

My lovely little Westone Thunder III.

Oh yeah, WAL. I picture Mick Karn with a lame brushing playing fat glissandos.

 

[Darkstrike]

Fender.

 

[palmann]

Le Fay. There was an article in a well known german magazine back in the late eighties, early nineties which praised the great fretless tone of a Le Fay Pangton 4 String. I never did play a Le Fay, but the image of this bass was the first image that popped up in my mind when I read the question.
