I knew I'd bring something home with me from So Cal.

I wouldn't have that problem as my fretless windmilling usually takes place around the 15 "fret" position. Yes, showmanship is extremely important in playing a fretless bass in front of an audience, that way they never hear the out of tune playing!teb wrote:I wondered about the knobs between the two basses though. Seems like you would always be hitting them as you're playing. "Windmilling" is a pretty important part of good fretless technique and showmanship (all the cool guys do it) and it requires an unobstructed space to do it well
Why else would Jaco have been so important in the history of fretless bass?
