Nice mics, too. the bass is awesome... i've never really played fretless before so the dots are helpful... it's a challenge (which is cool) but i really want to master this instrument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black is nice! cool... which model? mine was a little bit buzzy at first, but after a truss rod tweak it's great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted May 3, 2012 Members Share Posted May 3, 2012 i like the new toys~ thank you for sharing! fretless bass can be beautiful, but in my experience there is a learning curve and it takes a while to get over the disorientation. I played fretless electric bass for four years while in college (fretted bass for another 6 years prior) and it probably took me a little over a year of constant playing (personal practicing and with others) to truly get comfortable with it. i actually put the guitar away for the most part and simply focused on that one instrument for four years.
