      Leland Sklar owns two Warwick models that (but for one being fretless) look about identical. They’re not powder blue, but that’s practically the only difference between this one and his two.

      When you start to remember that even Jaco didn’t want to be Jaco (how many celebrities want to be themselves?), It’s better that this guy isn’t him. I actually just got my hands on a preowned fretless bass that an old friend sold me. If anybody’s individual style has been motivating me, it is actually Victor Wooten. When you listen to Victor play fretless bass, you can hear Jaco’s influence, although Victor’s true style easily comes across.

I lucked out. Although I was sad i couldnt get the black one you played here i love my blue one. Thank you.

  • @gto1607
    @gto1607 7 років тому +40

    Jaco didn't put fret markers on his bass. He filled in the fret grooves after pulling the frets. Him being a fretless player is a misconception. Most of the time he played a fretted jazz. He only used the bass of doom onstage so the roundwounds wouldn't wear out the neck. If you watch Joni Mitchell's shadows and light tour you can see he plays most of the concert with a fretted jazz but keeps pretty much the same tone.

    • @hesh4727
      @hesh4727 7 років тому +11

      GTO It all depends on the song he's playing. For more solo based tunes he'd use the fretless and switch to a fretted bass sitting just behind him when it was more appropriate. The majority of his studio playing was on the fretless, though.

    • @gto1607
      @gto1607 7 років тому

      I agree. Just pulled out my weather report vinyl collection. I have a few pics of him playing a p-bass. There's a really good 4 part docu on here which I think is the best by far. A lot of good clips I haven't seen anywhere else. I just picked up a Trace Elliot V6, ever seen one of those?

      GTO in addition, in his instructional video Jaco played a hybrid bass with a P fretted neck because he probably got his bass stolen.

    • @JoshBabin
      @JoshBabin 6 років тому +1

  • @macronencer
    @macronencer 6 місяців тому

    Thanks for this rundown. Obviously it's 6 years old now but still useful for me. I'm considering a bass next year and I'm probably an unusual kind of customer... I'm primarily a keyboardist dabbling in other things. I played double bass when I was about 18, both for school shows and in an orchestra... but I've never been a guitarist, so although I have the note positions well learned I'm unsure about some of the guitar-related stuff. Fretless has some attractions for me, partly because of my past experience but also I like the sound and I'm keen on microtonal music too. However, if I want to add bass to the music I'm making and play it myself, it's possible that fretless might have too distinctive a sound. I'm still thinking about all this and I have a while to decide yet, but this sort of demo is very useful. Thumbs up and subscribed!

  • @Kurecify
    @Kurecify 6 років тому +1

    The fingering is the most important thing on fretless with or (without the lines). So switching between 3rd and 4th finger leads to inconsistent intonation

    Hi guys, just a quick question: When playing a fretless instrument (in this case a bass guitar), do you have to press it right on the fret line (or very close to it) and not between the fret lines, is that right?

      Yes, thats right if the intonation is correct. But as soon as you twitch your finger somewhat it affects. Your ears and good technique is the trick.

    13:10 - 13:20 . . . was that “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edward Grieg? If I thought I had money to burn for somebody else besides me, I would probably try getting the HB model for a friend of mine who plays both upright bass and violin bass.
    The minute you mentioned the bass solo being done with a reverse effect, I knew that you were going to start playing Paul Simon, Russel. Listening recently to specific tracks from the *Graceland* album, I discovered that Armand played a fretless bass on most of the album.

    Very nice demo. I find on fretless bass flatsounds inhibit the full spectrum of the fretless bass sound. It would have also been nice to play some of those basses up by the neck to hear that beautiful growl that people like Jaco achieve which I think he acquired from masters like Ron Carter.

Made half a dozen albums with it since last year, they're all linked to from my blog over at wolfgang.lonien.de/ - so have a listen if you want to. Tip: my skills on the instrument developed a bit too since last year, so for the most interest in bass you might want to start with the latest ("Contemplation"). Have fun...

      Thomann Music yeah, I love the Jaco Jazz Bass and the first ‘walking’ sequence you played... one fretless I had Without lines, had the edge dots in the same place as on a fretted bass, which I moved so that they occurred where the note is fingered. That way gave me accurate reference points for the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, etc....

    I cannot see fret lines when I'm playing anyway, so what's the rub? I set up a J with an Mighty Mite unlined fretless neck and it has dot markets on the side. It is a sensation actually playing what sounds right rather than being trapped within the framework of a tempered scale. Frets now seem like a stupid limitation because we are trading down by sacrificing all the semitones that frets eliminate. Ask yourself how an artist like Stevie Wonder come up with his brilliant bass lines when he can see nothing or Yoyo Ma who plays an instrument with no frets or markers? My advice is to retrain your ears and venture outside the box.

    The playing at 20:00 has convinced me to not get a fretless. They seem easy to play poorly.

    Why can't bass demo's include simple tonal runs at the low end. It's always at the player and never about how the instrument actually sounds..

      Especially with 5 strings. You're usually lucky if they play even a single 16th note on the B string, let alone let the open string ring so you can hear it properly.

    Vintage bass high notes sound crap.
    Though, based on the odd messes achieved later using loops, could be you.
    Probably the Warwick is a good bass, being the only one you didn't make sound tinny and cheap.

    On the first bass sounds to me like the upper neck is too convex. As if amplified via a paper cup on the higher positions. Sounds like crap.

    Well nice basses, however, I recommend for future reference that you practice a little more on the instruments before you record on them (ie. this video)
    But other than the terrible pitch - and look I'm not bagging you out fretless basses without inlays are very different playing to any other bass, it's been fun to watch this video
    Keep it up though!

    the jazz sounds most like an electric bass, the blue hollowbody sounds a deal more like a bass viol, the violin bass is percussive in sound, almost clacky - the five string sounds like growling rubberbands, the p-bass sounds like a p-bass

    It's magic! First the Beat Bass has foam under the bridge and he tunes it and the foam disappears.
    This crappy CITES agreement/ law prevents you from buying the sire or any bass with rosewood fretboards. A good thing that my music purchases are all GAS, I don't need one.

    • @alfieharries
      @alfieharries 6 років тому +8

      I play double bass mainly so the lines I actually find a bit confusing because I usually just imagine the positions. I also think it makes you listen to ur intonation more and not rely on the lines, think it makes me a bit more musical. Maybe

    • @quantumeseboy
      @quantumeseboy 6 років тому +1

      So play your double bass, it's a different instrument and it's there.

      René G ....what? That's a very confusing response. Why not play both?

    • @quantumeseboy
      @quantumeseboy 6 років тому

      Sure, why not, but their are not the same, bass guitar has a shorter scale and if you really want your fingers to wander freely on a vastness of an upright neck then you have all the freedom you want.
