Re: Practicing?

I am practicing 3 finger technique a la Billy Sheehan. I can do gallop at 200 bpm, goal is to go up to 280!!!
Also m and a fingers need to get better at working independently. Hard to make improvements at 45!!!

Also I had a bunch of Joaquin Des Pres groove books that I plan to start working off of.

Re: Flush fretted fretless

I don't think it is original fretwire if it was ground. It is too clean. It is possibly defretted and then inlaid with these metal fillers. I will also call Fender to confirm if it was built this way.

Re: Flush fretted fretless

Yes they are metal and shiny. They are flush to the fretboard and the tangs are very small. The metal "lines" are very narrow. I am thinking of calling Fender with the serial number. Do you know if Fender would give me any background information? The serial number indicated it is from 2016.

Flush fretted fretless

Hi,

I got a US made Fender jazz Bass from Guitar Center. It is sort of fretless, meaning there are very narrow fret wires flush to the fretboard. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff? GC salespeople told me it is a factory fretless.

Slight buzz on the P Bass

Hi,

I am experiencing a quiet, low frequency, hum-like, acoustic buzz, pretty much on all frets of the A string and same notes on the low E and sometimes on D string. It sounds like it is coming from the bridge area overall and sometimes it feels like source is somewhere deep inside the body of the ...

Original Fretless Fender Precision Bass 70s

Hello,

I recently bought a 70s Fender American fretless bass (Precision) from a gentleman in Baltimore (name escapes me). I have always wanted a bass like this. However, there is a problem. I can't play fretless and I do not have the patience to learn it. I guess it is too late for me to be like ...
