Why would I want to see that? If I want to see people sweating I look at... no I don't look at anything, sheesh.
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Hot evening for jamming but great fun.
I think I’m going to abandon roundwounds all together. TG returned a bass he’s been setting up etc. It plays well. He’s a good man

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Middle of the night bass conundrum question #126... with a fretless instrument you have to place your finger on the string where the fret would be right? for those who play fretless bass, do you find yourself when playing a fretted instrument doing the same thing? i.e. finger right on top of the fret?
Thinking more, switching between scale lengths has gotta mess up the muscle memory too, need to dig myself out of this thought rabbit hole

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I didn't find it was much of an adjustment. Like playing two different neck profiles, muscle memory kicks in and puts the fingers where they need to be. Fretless you use your ears a lot to make fine adjustments, too.jeremyb wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 9:02 am Middle of the night bass conundrum question #126... with a fretless instrument you have to place your finger on the string where the fret would be right? for those who play fretless bass, do you find yourself when playing a fretted instrument doing the same thing? i.e. finger right on top of the fret?

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I have 3 fretless basses and find myself making different adjustments according to which instrument I'm using. My favourite has problems with the electrics since being largely underwater during the January floods. The actives are toast now, so I'm looking to change them all now. Opportunity 

I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly

It’s possible that no matter how good your Bass is it not necessarily in tune
