Nice bass! Looks beautiful....
Ed Friedland is a great musician, I have his "walking bass" method...

Now I own 6 basses, 4 fretted and 2 fretless...probably in a month I'll have a new fretless...I' m not a rich guy and probably I'll have to sell some other stuff to have the new one...but let me tell you all a thing...anytime I'll buy a new axe I'll say "ok, that's it!! no more basses!!", and after ...

I'm not sure about the bassist, but the style and the tone remind me a lot of Alphonso Johnson...

Thanks, I watched the clip, now I want to buy it!!!
You're right, Ralph Armstrong should get more appreciation, he's really a killer player!

Well, next time I'll do that...!

As always,great informations presented in a very clear way...thanks!

Great advices as always....
I would add : clean yor fretless neck with care...the fingerboard requires much more attention than a fretted bass, and a dirt one colud affect badly your sound!!
