Hey, as many of you may have noticed me bragging about, I now am the owner of a new fretless bass. Now why I bring this up again, (other than the sheer delight of more bragging) is that I noticed something today- I'm having to practice a lot more so that I can do the things I normally do quite easily on a fretted bass. For instance, I have to work a lot harder to play the intro to one of my band's songs because of the tapped harmonics I do- not only does my right hand have to be more accurate, since I have no fret to help sound the harmonic, but my left hand has to be dead nut so that my intonation is correct.
Basicly, my fretless is a wonderful playing bass, but it's pushing me a lot harder than my other instruments do. Have any of you encountered a similar instrument?
