Sweet charm of fretless
If you are asked to play the fret lessbase, try it without hesitation.
If you have ever played electric bass and contrabass, you will immediately feel the fun and the beauty of the tone.
The important thing is 2 points
◯ To understand the exact pitch
The fret is being hit on the fingerboard to easily give accurate pitches.
Since there is no fret in fretless, it is essential to hold down the correct position to produce accurate pitches.
I said good things, but if the pitch shifts, just slide and shift.
The important thing when playing fretless is that the pitch is right/off.
◯ Curiosity of wanting to play
This is all. If you like the sound of fretless, if you like the fretless fingerboard ... it is the birth of a fretless player.
Way of holding
In the case of a base with a fret, the pitch is taken on the fret near the bridge near the fingerboard, and it pronounces with accurate pitch.
If you have a fret line with no frets, the line on the line is approximately accurate.
Please get used to it as the pitch is also up and down with the power to hold down. If there is no fret line or position mark on the fingerboard, only the pitch can be relied on, so let's remember which sound is arranged. It tends to be cautious, but if it shifts, let's slide it and go together. Once you get used to it, listen to the play of the great fretless players from one end and incorporate them into your drawers.
Material differences
Rosewood, Maple, and ebony materials are often used, but there are also resin materials like phenowood.
The sound quality is different depending on the hardness of the material, but the nuances are the same as the Fredthed -based neck material, so please refer to them. Equipped with a piezo pickup, there is also a specification that pronounces pieces vibration like a contrabass.
● Rosewood fingerboard
Fender JAPAN JB62-65FL
Although it is hard, it has a warm sound, and its sound is characterized by an attack that does not hobble the high range. For artists who love rose boards, the sound of Jaco Pastorian is still handed down, and in combination with the body material, the sound of a strong mid -low alder body Fender ‘60s style is a typical sound.
● MAPLE fingerboard
Fernandes Bo-60 / FL
It features a hard and clear sound of an attack. There is a high -range high range, the sound grains can be heard, and the combination of the mid -low -range alder body seen in the latter half of Fender '50s is typical. 。
● Ebony fingerboard
PGM JB-Type 5st / FL
The feature is that the high range sounds like a maple fingerboard, and the sound quality is balanced with a low frequency sound.
The sound of the string vibration is clear, the grain stands beautifully even in the low B string, and the combination with the sound of the active circuit can be played clearly from the sound and the sound growth.

AMPEG AUB-1 |
Fender Jaco Pastorian model |
I think the AUB-1 announced by AMPEG at NAMM SHOW in 1966 is probably known as the first frettress version as an electric bass.
Already around 1962, the company has been commercializing Baby Bass, the current so -called uplight base.
In line with the needs of the times, in the early 1970s, Fender's Precision Bass Frets Frets Frets was released.
The contrabass has been a fret for a long time, but we have established a new electric fret -based status by taking the Fender Precisoin Bass fret that uses frets to accurately obtain pitch.
It is well known that Jaco Pastorius, the most known fret -based player, has led to the expansion of the fret lessons after pulling out his own bass fret in the early 1970s.
