The Freedom of Fretless Bass

Музыка

Here are some fun grooves on my fretless Cortex that show the freedom & joy of playing fretless! I'm using a custom Cortex bass, built by excellent luthier Paul Lairat, strung up with Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinkys. It has a flamed maple fingerboard with epoxy, walnut body and spalted maple top, it's loaded with a single Nordstrand Dual Coil pickup with 2 band eq. I used a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and a Rodenberg 707b booster, the signal was recorded straight into my Focusrite audio interface. Drums were recorded with Korg midi pads & Addictive Drums, mixing & mastering was done in Cubase. Thanks for watching!
This track's on my new EP Fretless Invaders, check it on Apple Music: / fretless-invaders-single

    No matter how many times I try to avoid the bass, i always fall in love with it again every single time. The tang of it is such a beautiful sound. Easy to pick up, but hard to master. The only instrument I've played for 10 whole years straight. I pick it up, I can't focus on anything else, I just want to play it all day.

    @@TrillMurray oh it absolutely is. If I'm being a 100% honest, fretless used to sound really cheesy and 80s passe to me. I just thought of it as a gimmick tbh. But there's bass players like Les Claypool, Tony Levin, and Mick Karn that actually know how to use it in unique and powerful ways. They approach it like a totally different instrument than your standard bass and that's what separates them from others who just play it like a regular bass. Fretless is basically an electric stand up bass turned sideways but even just that opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to technique.

    I love this. So catchy, subtle reminders of Claypool, but definitely your own original sound. 10/10 man, so many intricate little sections that could be their own whole soundscape.

    Maybe he’s a studio/gigging musician. A lot of guys on the market for any instrument have started channels like this, sometimes just so they can get fame aside from being stitched onto a bigger label or a bigger name in the industry. Gigging can be rewarding, though it usually doesn’t come with the perks of a bigger following. They either fall into obscurity, or they gain a “cult following”, though that’s hardly enough to make it into the Hall of Fame. I feel like if players like “Ready” Freddie or Lee Sklar, for example, started channels like this in their hay day, they might’ve been able to keep a lot of the YT musicians in their place lmao jk. YT is a fickle beast, because while it doesn’t give much in terms of side revenue, it can at least help these guys build their names so they have a better shot at cementing their names even long before they get recruited by household name bands. But a lot of the work going towards building a brand also requires them to either pick up as many gigs as possible to make ends meet, or to build up hype behind their own solo stuff like Victor Wooten or Jaco Pastorius. But because audiences are naturally more inclined to flock towards singers and guitarists, you’re gonna take a lot longer to get found if you’re on bass or drums, meaning even if you’re better than some of the best famous bassists/drummers you’re not gonna get picked up for a while unless you either start in a band that’ll eventually get big, do tryouts for existing bands looking for replacements (and risk fading into obscurity anyways), or doing social media on the side while you do whatever you wanna do.
