Hi, Tony! Was very happy ( and surprised :-) ) to see a clip recently of you playing with Lou Gramm. A guy many can argue as being the greatest rock vocalist for a very long time. Foreigner was certainly my band from middle school, going on into high school. Can’t believe he did Urgent. That must have been something else. I hope you can send me some good vibes. think I tore my rotor cuff at work earlier today, getting it checked out tomorrow. Does not feel good at all. :-(

Thanks for that. Lou is a sweetheart as well as an incredible talent. I’m very grateful to be working with him. Sorry to hear about your rotator cuff. Sending tons of good vibes 🙌🏻

@@FretlessMonster Hehe, I'm not sorry either. Just have to fix up some mostly cosmetic / age related issues with the bass and it will be back to playing in all it's glory. Previous owner apparently played up until he was 76, mostly jazz. So now it's time for some rock and metal mostly ;)

Tony your the Boss !!! 😎👍

Tony Franklin super. благодарю за прекрасное исполнение.

Hey Tony! As we have talked about fretless with a pick before. Even though I have my own style and do sometime use a pick on fretless. But I grew up knowing Jaco in Florida and I loving roundwounds on fretless, however when I play with a pick I feel this could be something better with flats. I'm just going to check it out because you just killed it big time with your plucktrum!

Worth a try. Though I’m all in with the rounds. The DR Sunbeams are special strings. So versatile. Unlike any other round I’ve tried. 🤷‍♂️😊

Are you using your thumb to mute the E string? I don't see too many people doing that on the bass. They always say not to wrap your thumb around the neck. But use it for leverage to hold the strings down.

@FretlessMonster

10 ай бұрын

Sometimes I use it to mute the low E, yes. It’s all very fluid and almost intuitive. Plus I have large thumbs!! 🤪😂 I don’t think about it when I’m playing. Many people comment on how I lift my thumb off the fingerboard (on my left hand), when I go up to the higher strings. My thumb has a mind of its own. 🤷‍♂️😂
