Members LanEvo Posted August 23, 2006 Members Share Posted August 23, 2006 Originally posted by The Aardvark What are your favorite fretless basslines? Pretty much every track off of Paul Simon's Graceland album. Baghiti Khumalo's tone and feel are out of this world. I especially love his playing on the tracks "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" and "Graceland." Stewart Zender of Jamiroquai also has some really tasteful fretless work on Emergency on Planet Earth. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
