I remember when I wanted to buy a six strings bass fretless before I had mine. I was very difficult to afford one.


Ibanez for example don't sell fretless version for his six string basses.

Yes you're right, it's better to plug the SansAmp in the normal front panel In my opinion the built in speaker is rated at 4 Ohm. It has marked the maximum impedance to load is 2 Ohm. So you told me not to add a 4 Ohm external speaker ? Am I right? Thank you very much for your help. I'll put ASAP a ...

I like the Crate sound but not at all. The "warm" tone means to me a "little bit" of tube tone like a Mesa Boogie does. I like fat and smooth sound but not too loud. I"ve just try the Sans Amp Bass Driver with my basses (fretted & fretless) It sounds great with the fretted, punchy and groovy. I use ...

Maybe the Tech21 Bass Driver DI or something like that...:roll: The light weight is important for me . Do you think it's possible to plug the Bass Driver directly into the preamp out insert ...

Re: New to fretless

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am looking at purchasing my first fretless soon. I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direct. First, I played a used Fender American deluxe fretless. It sounds great and feels good. The price really has me attracted; $700. Can anyone offer some exper...

Regarding FunkDaFied s' comment made by a "teacher"... Fretted or fretless, it's the same thing. Just pull out the fret. I can teach you fretless bass. This is a clear example of hubris in a bass player talking about something he has no experience with. If you see him again, please ask to see one o...

Recently, I saw a bass teacher.
I asked him, if he was able to learn me fretless bass and theory.
He answered me:

Fretted or fretless, it's the same thing. Just pull out the fret. I can teach you fretless bass.

What can I think with answers like that ? :roll:

What can I say...

It sounds great :D
very comfortable. The ramp allows me to play faster.
This bass is very beautiful :)
It's light weighed (thanks to the hollow body)
If you want some sample, just tell me. Then I will put a song on my Space.

All interesting people who could teach fretless bass are busy (concert...)

Thank you FretLessSince68. :D I think going with a 6 string bass is a good idea, ideally a matched pair fretted and fretless. This keeps your muscle memory consistant when changing instruments and avoids shifting mental gears when going from 4 str to 5 str, or between any other permutation of multip...
