Fretless Bass Talk

In this video, I talk about the freless bass, once again, and share some of my thoughts about how to stick with the instrument. Playing fretless bass isn't for the faint of heart and it's not for everyone, but if you love the sound of it, you can be part of the small community of bassists who play it. There was a time in my life when my Pedulla Buzz Bass was the only bass for me. I spent every free moment I had, playing that bass, so that I could stand my ground in the Rock bands I played in. Unfortunately, I only played it for 3 years before buying a fretless Stingray because some of my band mates hated the look of the Pedulla. If you have any thoughts or stories to share about fretless bass, you've come to the right place. Let's chat! Welcome!! This and many other videos are geared towards musicians and music lovers alike.
