As a violinist that started learning bass. The whole debate about Fretless or with frets is kinda wild to me. And I get it to a degree, The position your hand is in feels more difficult to be accurate, but also...

I play pretty much exclusively fretless basses - all with roundwounds. I'd your luthier knows what their doing, the fingers will last for ages.

It's your ears that should tell you what is in tune, not your eyes. Buy a fretless because you like the attack and you like the tone, and you're willing to put in the time to learn 1.) what 'in tune' really sounds like. 2.) how to control your body to make sure you are close to getting your finger in the right place, and 3.) know that playing any instrument that is capable of varied pitch is a commitment to effective practice.

I would advise fretless without lines. Specifically for intonation reasons. (If you use the lines on a fretless bass you wont be as close to perfect intonation as you could be)

[TheSaxAppeal]

I use flats on my J-bass. Partly because rounds were really rough on my plucking fingers but I can really crank up the bass on my amp and get a really good sound with flats.

Double bass player for ever😂I decided to transition to bass guitar, I have a fender bass but I found a Ibanez fretless it’s my fav❤ so close to my upright in tone

[danielfulbright]

ah, thanks for the roundwound vs flatwound thing, ive had a fretless bass for years but hadnt even thought of that before 😂

[freemanosielski]

the srf700 is a beast😎 i love my ibanez

[rsnell]

A fretless bass must be calibrated to play in tune, just like fretted. The octave harmonic and the fingered octave note still need to be the same pitch.

Fretless bass recommendations that have fretlines?

[horse_dog]

eh the whole thing with rounds vs flats on fretless bass is kinda a non-issue. rounds might wear down the board faster, but it's probably a difference of getting your fingerboard re-sanded every 15 years as opposed to every 20 years.

As my journey of shredding evolves and unfolds, I feel that fretless bass is my only option and I cannot depart this world until I master it. Now where do I get one?

[markmuzeroll]

Greetings sir, thank you for your video. I’ve been playing on an Ibanez sr400. Never played a fretless before but considering it. I think the Ibanez SR370EF is about the same bass I have only without frets. Do you know if this is a good bass? Also this bass has fret lines which I think will help me.

Best wishes

It's been more than a decade since I played bass. It would probably be a bad idea to try and re learn on a fretless right?

[TreyWitherow]

Im thinking about getting a fretless but ive only been playing for a little more than half a year, do you think the learning curve on a fretless would be to much for newer a player like me?

[Besenstiiel]

on my frettet bass I have to press down at the correct position or it buzzes, so its the same ig

[stephenpaul]

Similar to a violin…
Or you know, a bass

[ex-mentalist]

I unfretted cheap ahh chinese Ibanez-style bass. This is still kinda poor instrument, but I just love continuous slides and other tricks that this thing can do
