Well not how to make it say "och aye the noo an au' that jazz" :D - but I just acidentally found out how to play traditional sounding scottish music on the fretless by complete mistake! :thu: Of course by "traditional scottish sounding music" I mean improved jibberish that just sounds awesome!

 

I just wish I had my amp working so I could record it!

Yeah my dad can improv pretty decently on mandolin considering he just mucks about with it. There is a song called "Marie's wedding" that he plays. Billy Connoly used to do a sketch about it that I have on CD - I'll see if I can find it on youtube...

Bagpipes have a big drone note constantly going. Probably C# or something (I don't actually know). If you found some bagpipe music, applied it to bass, played with lots of snappy notes on a fretless and used a looper for the drones it might work reasonably well.

 

 

It's actually A447 or thereabouts, which most people hear as Bb.
