TGerman -> RE: fretless bass (Feb. 11 2006 12:31:20)

I have to agree 100% with Todd. The bass is an awesome instrument especially in capable hands. I'm a big fan of Jaco, Steve Bailey, Victor Wooten, Bill The Buddha, these guys just know how to kill it!!! Here's a picture of Steve with an acoustic, fretless, 6 string, I bet it would sound great accompanying flamenco guitar (in the background). What I don't like is when the bass is featured prominently, like Ricardo I just want deep in the background. Another thing that I'm not too fond of in flamenco is the flute, violin, piano or any horns, maybe my taste has not matured yey but I prefer my flamenco to sound flamenco. Todd, you're taking up the cello? Talk about an instrument that REALLY captures the emotions and intensity of the musician!!! That's a fantastic hunk o' wood with strings. Good luck with it!! Todd
