Loosen Up Go Fretless

Have You Ever Tried A Fretless Bass,
I Recently Built My First Fretless Bass A While Back, I Sure Love The Freedom To Just Slide Up And Down The Neck, Making Some Incredible Sounds Along The Way. But I Haven`t Quite Been able To
Duplicate Some Of My Covers As Well as my Custom Fender Fretted 4 String.
But That Fender 4 string Feels Like A Extra Arm To Me Almost
Like A Extra Body Part Its Hard To Explain, I`m Just Really
Used To It. Totally Enjoying The Fretless Experience Though.
I Looked around and found some info and stole some of it,
To Put here just as education reasons.Also On this blog somewhere you can look at my Mahogony Frettless Look For The G Bass Picture Left And Below ,Be Kind Its My First Bass Guitar Build !

Here We Go :::

Whence Fretless?
Despite the fact that frets were added to lutes and sitars centuries ago, the acoustic bass (also known as the “really big cello”) is still fretless today. And if it wasn’t for Leo Fender, the electric bass would be fretless too.

So there is a lot of history behind playing fretless. However, from the 50s through the 80s, it was very rare to find fretless players in rock bands. The goal was to get that solid, punchy sound and increase the sustain. And given the increased volume on stage, playing fretless was probably very risky, as you couldn’t hear yourself.

But as the 90s progressed, musicians became more interested in returning their sound to “the old days,” while looking for a distinctive tone. The acoustic guitar made a big comeback in rock, thanks to improved pickups and pre-amps. And the fretless bass made a quiet return as well. Tony Franklin made fretless fit on a hard-rock album with The Firm. And Kevin McCormack practically invented the early Melissa Etheridge sound with his slap & pop fretless work.

Others who play fretless include:

Sting, Mark Egan, Bill Wyman, Ron Carter, Mike Karn, Pino Paladino, Boz Burrell, Rick Danko(!), Jack Bruce (but not in Cream), John Deacon, Percy Jones, Steve diGiorgio, Billy Sheehan, Jeff Ament, Baghiti Khumato (Paul Simon’s Graceland). Thanks to the gang at ActiveBass for helping to compile this list.

What’s the Difference?
As explained in Tone Loco, the absence of a hard fret to anchor one end of the string causes the highest frequencies to be reduced. In addition, the string vibrating under your softer fingertip will have less sustain. In an upright bass, this creates a slightly thumpy sound, with little sustain. If you listen to some classic jazz, you may notice the bass player accentuating the lack of sustain by muting the strings, isolating each note.

Modern fretless basses benefit from better strings and pickups, so the tone is not quite so limited, and reasonable sustain can be achieved. I can get either a round, smooth sound or a warm, sax-like tone from my Jazz bass with my silk-wound strings. I often select my fretless just to get the best tone that matches the song. If you install round-wounds you can even get a bright rock sound.

Of course, the biggest difference is that you have to figure out almost exactly where to put your fingers to fret the note perfectly. Most fretless necks have locating dots on them at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th frets, but even then it can be difficult to locate the right spot for the 1st or 11th fret. This requires a reasonably good ear, and practice. However, it’s not overly difficult to learn how to adjust.

Some necks come with fret lines embedded in the neck, usually with a similar piece of wood going cross-ways where the fret should be. I’ve even seen a neck where the fret lines were done with a maple (white) stripe across a rosewood neck. It looked ugly to me, but at least you know where to put your fingers.

Slip Sliding Away
One of the really fun things to do with a fretless is to slide. As shown in Two by Two, the bass riff for Walk on the Wild Side just begs for fretless sliding. But you can also replace a hammer-on with a slide. Sliding is always noticed (which is why trombones are cool, too), even when playing simple notes, so use it carefully. But, it can really improve a boring transition.

Remember that when you slide up, the volume gets louder, and when you slide down it gets softer.

Also, you can get a tremolo effect by wobbling your fingertip up and down the neck, just like the violinists do. (Hey, they play fretless too!) Be aware that this can reduce your sustain a bit.

Ever notice how lead guitarists bend their strings? Ever try to bend your bass strings? It’s very difficult. But with a fretless, you can get the ¼ and ½ pitch changes by sliding up only part way to the next fret location.
It Just cannot be done with frets, So Have some fun with it ...You dont know yet
What You Have not discovered, Right ?


Slap Happy
In the current musical climate, slap and pop depend on bright strings and extreme EQ to produce a jangly noise created by banging the strings on the frets. But there are times when you may use these techniques for speed and range, not just to cut through the noise. Besides, you can still get a very cool sound by slapping on your fretless, as the string hits the entire length of the neck. It’s not going to be as “metallic” as a fretted bass, but it’ll be bright enough.

Some inventive individual has even designed a piece of brass to use as a strike plate. It mounts at the bottom of the neck, rising a tiny fraction of an inch above the surface so as not to buzz the strings when playing normally. I have not heard this, but it is an intriguing idea.

Some Details
As I’ve done in other lessons, I’ll recommend here a Jazz-style bass, as the two pick-ups give you much more flexibility for your tone. However, the classic P-bass and other single pick-up designs may match that certain sound you’re looking for. Read How to Buy a Bass Guitar for details.

Some people claim that you should never use round-wound strings with a fretless bass, because they chew up the neck. This is only partially true. If your fretboard is made of ebony or maple, then it won’t matter, as these are extremely hard woods. If you have rosewood or other material on your neck, you may find that round-wounds will leave grooves in it.

Of course, since you’re going to be sliding a bit, round-wounds may be a bit tough on your fingers. Ground-wounds, half-rounds, or flat-wounds are good. Traditionalists think that a single pick-up and flat-wound strings will give you that “classic” thumpy sound. I use silk-wrapped round-wound strings, which are brighter than flats or nylon tape wound, and feel nice under my fingers. Read the rest of this blog for a more technical discussion of strings and how they affect tone.

Freedom from Frets
I would never recommend a fretless bass as your first instrument, but when you start to get a little bored with your fretted bass, don’t buy another fretted one; consider going fretless. I think it’s the perfect second bass, as it will broaden the range of music you can and want to play.

Another Message From Stewart Mc

Improving your tone, the quick and easy way.
“I like the looks of my guitar and I’ve got it set up the way I like it, but it doesn’t sound as good as I want it to!” That’s a pretty familiar request from customers, and here’s what I tell 'em:
Erick Coleman, May 14, 2009

I received a call on the tech line from Adam Fox, who used to work in Dan Erlewine’s repair shop. Adam's out in Los Angeles now, writing music and working on a new project with a producer friend. He said they were recording the very next night, so Adam was going over his bandmates’ guitars to get them up to speed for the studio.
The other guitarist in his band has a well-made imported Strat-style guitar. He digs the way it plays but isn’t too crazy about how it sounds. Curious about its innards, Adam popped the hood to see what was going on under there. He quickly realized why the guitar sounded so bad: it was loaded with cheapo electronics.
Plastic switches, the cheapest pots and single-coil pickups with flat steel pole slugs: these pickups are a far cry from the originals that inspired them, in both their construction and their sound. If you've heard one of these guitars, you know what I'm talking about: very harsh and thin sounding.
Adam had seen our Golden Age prewired pickguards online, and asked if they’d be a good option for this guitar. The answer to that question was a definite yes. These prewired guards are loaded with Golden Age single coil pickups, which are wound to vintage specs with 42-AWG coil wire and staggered Alnico V polepieces for an authentic tone. The components are the same great stuff that comes in these wiring kits.
Golden Age Prewired Pickguards
Simply pull the old electronicsA snip from some wire nippers, and out come the old electronics.
No soldering required!Yep, that’s a screwdriver, not a soldering iron. The blue no-solder connector makes this a fast swap.


What next?
That’s all there is to it! You’re all wired up! Just put the pickguard assembly in the guitar and string it up. It took longer to restring this guitar than it did to change the pickguard!
Adam’s back at the recording console less than 24 hours after calling me. They began laying tracks with this guitar immediately. (Overnight shipping From Stewart Mcdonalds)

As an internet marketer I am interested in keeping up with new ideas and trends in internet marketing. Since I have been on the internet for a long time doing things like creating my own internet city, website promotion, making money on the internet, I have seen the internet change by leaps and bounds. Today, in order to be relevant in internet marketing your website or blog has to do more than just be a static webpage, now you have to have content and different methods to share that content such as having your own blog, perhaps forums, and now the biggie, video. With increasing access to broadband, video is now possible for virtually everyone to use. Video has become the new must have have, not only for internet marketers but for everyone who has a website. Local Biz Owners who have a website can especially benefit from video. With video, there are new opportunities to get out your message, advertise your business, make video postcards, send video e-mails create how-to the ideas are endless. We website owners however, are thinking gee we want to get in on the video thing, but it is something else we have to learn how to do, another learning curve, and for many of us the idea just sort of fizzles. I am excited because I don’t have to miss out this time, because I lack the expertise to create and broadcast videos or perhaps I just don’t have the time. I found a unique new software I thought I would check out, to see if I could use it. I was hoping it would be easy to use, to create video and then put it on my website. I also wanted the video to look good, something I wouldn’t mind people watching and/or downloading to pass it around. Well I couldn’t believe it. This software made it drop dead easy to make videos and to put them on my website. I actually was able to make a quality, professional looking video in less than 5 min. This sounds crazy I know, but I did it. If video is something you have been wanting to do but felt really intimidated by it up to this point, you might want to try this software for yourself, because the best part is you can use the software and it doesn’t cost you anything. That was important to me because I didn’t know if I would be able to use the software, and I didn’t want to pay for something I wasn’t sure I could even use.Let Alone Pass It On To My Readers Written by Rudy You can visit the site at http://www.easyvideoproducer.com/clickthru.php?id=13749

About Dean Guitars - A Quick History Lesson...Dean Guitars was born in 1976, in the attic of the Chicago suburban childhood home of company founder Dean B. Zelinsky. The eighteen-year-old Zelinsky was convinced that guitar design and manufacturing had hit a wall. Rock music was huge and guitar makers were failing to keep up with the times. The world was ready for a guitar that looked, played, and sounded superior to what was available from manufacturers at that time. Zelinsky had a better idea. What followed was a line of electric guitars that for the first time allowed players to play to their potential. With its highly visible V-shaped headstock and trademark wing logo, Dean became in effect, the first boutique guitar line in the history of rock music.These guitars had to be played to be believed, and played they were! Dean guitars started showing up on rock stages worldwide, album covers, and especially on the newly emerging channel called MTV. Dean Guitars were featured in the award-winning MTV Video of the Year three of the first four years running. By the time Dean created the famous Spinning Fur Guitars, Dean’s early place in Rock history was firmly cemented.Over a quarter century later, you can still buy that same USA made boutique Dean Guitar. Today, Dean Guitars has taken that same concept of creating a superior instrument to a whole new level. Dean now offers a full line of fretted instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, basses, jazz guitars, resonators, banjos and mandolins. More importantly, Dean is dedicated to delivering these fine quality instruments at a value that is second to none.No longer do you need to be a platinum selling artist to play Dean and play in high style.
The price of a dean would dictate a low quality instrument but this is simply not true, With A Dean Guitar You Get Nothing But High Quality And Great Craftmanship
Which equals Wonderfull Dean Sound, Playing A Dean Is A Winner....-(*!*)-

Song Lyrics

This Is By One Of My Fellow Band Mates
He Does Such A Good Job None Of The Rest of Us Felt
The Need To Screw It Up, Its A Solo Called " Cassiopia"

Here Is The Lyrics And Then You Can Take A link To Our Band Page And Hear It, Its A Cool Song I Think You Will Like It.------------------------------------



Lyrics
I'm just another lonely exile
Gazing homeward from afar
Late one night I fell to earth
I rode shotgun on a falling star
I hit the ground hard,
It was a long and lonely ride
I woke feeling helpless,
feeling gravity tied
And stranded earthbond
Forever earthbound, my friend
Now I turn upon this terra firma
And search the sky each night
I got myself an old telescope
So I can keep you in my sight
The locals call me crazy
When I tell them about us
They shake their heads
And call me Icarus
But they can't comprehend
Just how far I've been
I just seem like one of them
Someone who has always been
Standed earthbound
Forever earthbound, my friend
I'm stranded earthbound my friend
And feeling far too heavy to pretend
Or ignore those cynics
With their science who say
That you're at least
100 billion Light years away
and the image of you that
Seems to shine so bright
Maybe just a phantom,
a trick of traveling light
This I'll never know my friend
I'll be long gone by then
These facts of matter seem
Far less important when
You're stranded earthbound
Forever earthbound, my friend

Our Next Model Is A True Icon Bass Guitar s And Goes By The Name Of Simply Ric- --------------------

The Rickenbacker Vintage Tone Selector is an additional control included standard at no additional cost on all 4003 basses beginning in the 2006 model year.Prior to 1984, Rickenbacker basses utilized a capacitor in the treble pickup circuit to emphasize treble tones coming from that pickup. However, changes in tone preference and a call for higher output led RIC to discontinue the use of this capacitor in favor of a more balanced sound. Nevertheless many users added this capacitor back into the circuit, experimenting with and sometimes preferring the sound of the older configuration, despite the resulting drop in volume.Rickenbacker has now decided to give their players a choice, allowing the best of both worlds. With a simple pull of the treble tone control, the Vintage Tone Selector will allow a player to move between both sounds at the drop of a hat. Pressed in, you'll hear the familiar balanced tone of the 4003, while pulled out to engage the circuit, you'll appreciate the bite and crispness popularized by such artists as Chris Squire.
Handmade in America - three words that proudly embody Rickenbacker's unchanging commitment to quality and excellence. A commitment that is as strong today as it was in the Company's beginnings, over sixty five years ago.Indeed, little has changed in the production of Rickenbacker guitars and basses. The time-honored skills of craftsmanship and handwork are as prevalent in the Rickenbacker factory as the lack of modern conveyer-belt assembly lines.While utilizing some of the most modern tools and equipment available, Rickenbacker has been selective in employing technology to be sure that improved quality is the only reason for not performing the operation in a traditional fashion. In fact, to the greatest extent, the most skillful and demanding work is still done entirely by hand.Despite the somewhat European sounding name, every instrument bearing the Rickenbacker name was produced in Rickenbacker's own factory in California, U.S.A.*There are no returns allowed on Rickenbacker basses.

Remember Jim Croce That Is What A Great Singer Songwriter Sounds Like

For Jim Croce A Musical Career Meant Many Days And Long Nights On the road. Alot Of Out of the way College Campuses
in small towns. On September 20 1973 in Natchitoches La.
The Small Plane not unlike hundreds he and his band used
to get from gig to gig. Somehow caught a tree at the end of a dark runway. The Little plane got hung up crashed and killed the whole band. What A Sad day for music.
No Body could know what this world would be like had Jim
Croce Been alive all these years. But we do know something
This Man Wrote and sang some great music. In His time he had his share of geat songs. Remember Time in a Bottle ?
Operator ? Leroy Brown ? I still love those songs today.


I Got A Name



Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
I've got a name, I've got a name
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
I've got a name, I've got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by



/ / / //

If I could save Time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day'Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

CHORUS:But there never seems to be enough timeTo do the things you want to doOnce you find them
I've looked around enough to knowThat you're the one I want to goThrough time with

If I had a box just for wishesAnd dreams that had never come trueThe box would be emptyExcept for the memoryOf how they were answered by you

(Repeat Chorus)"

Enjoy Jim Croce every time u get a chance it will change your Day -(*!*)-

Building My First Ashbory Bass

After Building My First Full Size Fretless Bass ( See Mahogony G Bass ) I Have Decided To Tackle A Smaller Project ha,ha ... No really This Build Is Going To Be A Full Scale Actually Larger Than Scale Ashbory Bass. The Ashbory Bass Was First Produced By D Armond And Guild And Now Also Marketed By Fender, After Years Of Non Production, Alot Of Misicians Are Glad To Know The Ashbory Is Back...

The Ashbory Is A Small Scale Bass With A Huge Sound.
With A Scale Length Of Only 18 Inches And Weighing in at only under 3 pounds. It Has A Sound Not Unlike The Biggest
Doghouse Upright Basses Out There.

With 100% Pure Silicone Rubber Strings The Ashbory Obviously Does Not Rely On Electro Magnetic Signals,
Produced by steel strings vibrating over electrictly charged
magnetic pickups. No This little Brute has a microphonic pickup similar to that of a acoustic guitar or violin or Standard Upright Bass. This Pickup Reproduces a great sound thru a standard 1/4 inch guitar cable and then onto a typical amplifier.

Its Light Weight And Small Size along with a huge deep bass sound Makes This Amazing Instrument Popular by all who know about it.

With onboard active electronic preamp many different sounds are
possible. The preamp is run by a single 9 volt battery, With
separate bass and treble and volume pots, The Sounds are only limited to ones style of play. For More info on the Ashbory Bass And how to get your hands on one.
Here is a link to a great site all about the Ashbory And Even A Forum To Learn More.
If You Are Interested In my Build of the Ashbory Look For My Next Post About Ashbory Build as this one got quite long.

Back In Oregon Is A BooKeepers Son

Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive lyrics

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
Chorus:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in oregon
Don't take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am

Chorus
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in oregon
Don't take me alive

Take me alive

This Is So Funny

Below Is A Real Ad I Recently Found On Craigslist
I Thought It Too Be So Funny I Had To Save It To Share
The Ad Has Nothing To Do With Music, But I Was Looking At Some Bikes, Check Out The Picture I was laughing My
Ass Off........


I have a homemade bike me and my brother built many years ago. Runs and drives but the back tire kind of rides sideways. The seat blew out a few years ago and I made do with a sofa cushion, duct tape and a couple of 2x 4's ( the ultimate fix! ). It runs like a champ but does smoke alot especially if you are hard on the gas. Uses about a quart of oil for each gas fillup. I usually just put the oil directly in the gas as it is going to burn it anyway and that way it is easy. Can't drive over 12 miles or so at a time as the motor gets red hot and starts loosing power so probably a good bike for someone who drives locally. Does backfire and squeel pretty loud occasionally so I usually wear earplugs of some kind. DOES NOT pass emmissions so would need to be registered in a county without emmisions check. Great first bike otherwise!

David Crosby
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album "4 Way Street"

You want to know how it will beMe and her or you and me
You both sit there with your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive,
Your minds are still growing
Saying to me what can we do now that weBoth love you --
I love you too
But I don't really see,
Why can't we go on as three
You are afraid, embarrased too,
No one has ever in your sweet short life child
Said such a thing to you
Your mother's ghost stands at you shoulder
Got a face like ice -- just a little colder
Saying you can not do that it breaks all the rules
You learned in school
But I don't really see,
why can't we go on as "mmm " three
You know we love each other it's plain to see
There's just one answer comes to me
Sister lovers --
Some of you must know about water brothers
And in time maybe others
So you see what we can doIs
to try something new -
that is if you're crazy too
But I don't really see,
Why can't we go on as three

Behringer BX108 Vintage 15W Bass Amp 8In Speaker




Behringer BVT5500H FIREBIRD GX108/THUNDERBIRD BX108: Practice made perfect.Picture this: you and your buddies have a band. You've been gigging around town and are making a name for yourselves. It's time to start doing some serious songwriting and get that first CD done. You grab your guitar and your GX108 and drive over to the bass player's house. He's got the PC up and running and a cookin' drum loop is coming from the soundcard. Using the tape inputs, he hooks up the left soundcard output to your GX108 and the right out to his BX108, and plugs a tape out from each amp into the soundcard inputs. He briefly explains his song idea then sets the PC in record and off you go. After a couple takes, you've got good guide tracks for a new song. You save it, email it to your keyboard player and your singer, and start working on the next tune…That's just one example of the many ways you can effectively use our new practice combos.

Do You Really Know Your Bass Guitar Strings ?

Just A Little Info On Bass Strings,

This Explains Some Different Types Of Bass Guitar Strings, And Thier Qualities To Help You Shop For New Strings

Electric Bass Guitar
Stainless Steel - exceptionally brilliant tone and anti-corrosive characteristics. They last significantly longer than their nickel counterparts and produce ultimate volume and sustain.
Nickel-Plated Steel - "hot" strings with highly magnetic characteristics produce a traditional bright sound.
Nylon-Taped Wound - a teflon or nylon (usually black) coating is applied to reduce finger noise and make strings smoother and easier to play. String brilliance is subdued making an electric bass sound more like an acoustic bass. Popular for bluegrass or jazz.
Ground-Wound - a round-wound string is ground to flatten the outside surface. They are more flexible than true flat-wound strings and tend to be brighter and richer.
Flat-Wound - a flat wrap is used for a smooth string. This process reduces the brilliance of the sound leaving a more mellow tone and easier fingering.
