You refinish or replace the fretboard. dB

And, also, I went through a few different compressors (for sustain). I wouldn't bother with one for fretless bass. Speaking of bass, I have a fretless bass, but I've been missing the fretted Jazz bass I sold two years ago. dB

A few other things: The fretboard is made of epoxy and has absolutely no wear. I use flatwounds because my fingers get hung up on roundwounds when I shift and slide around. There are some issues with sustain, especially on the high strings. I went from a set of .010s to .011s last time and that helped. But then the strings had more tension so they lost the flexibility that made sliding so easy. I think next time I get it out, I start tuning the strings lower so I have the tone of the heavier set with less tension of the lower tuning. Intonation concerns slow me way down. Now that I've been working a bit more on the chops, I should get it out and see how I like it.

Of course I enjoy it, one doesn't replace the other. Having said that, I'm concentrating on fretted guitar for now. Three was a couple of years when I played fretless gtr a lot. I'd forget about chords and stick to 2 note intervals with an occasional 3rd note to make it a chord. It's enough to keep one or two notes in tune!

naah...don't stop there. drag it out for a couple of months! .

It never had any.

Yep. I have one. What do you want to know?

I read it on the internet on a BBS. It must be true.

Happy Birthday Mr. Archer! dB

It's a war of words Lowe...she's looking well fed and has a very shiny coat.

Let's see if I can add something so this gains a bit of momentum.... Allen...your avatar is a dog. dB

Surely you guys could drag this out for a couple of more days!

These transcriptions are a blast too: Debussy's Harp Yolanda Kondonassis

French Impressions Paul Galbraith Debussy & Ravel on 8 string classical guitar. He uses an end pin and holds his guitar like a cello.

We're OK, but you've got to calm the fuck down folks. dB

That was a wonderful time for that kind of progressive music from Editions EG! dB

See my comments in post 17. edit: listen to Fascinoma if you're confused, that's just his acoustic horn. dB

Me too. Our cat when I was a little kid has kidney problems. dB

Now that's just insensitive.

Miles & Coltrane:50th Anv of Kind of Blue & Giant Steps two classic albums! dB

I don't follow sports, but one thing seems certain -- my opinion, Leyritz needs to go to AA meetings. .

Be nice to the old man Danny. dB

Strongly disagree here. Just listened to it the other day and it fits quite well within the whole Hassell ouvre. You also forgot to mention 'Dressing for Pleasure' which I consider to be even funkier than 'Citi: Works of Fiction'. bigtiny I didn't forget anything, I didn't recommend it.

My 30 somethin' nephew has my dad & grandfather's GI photos tattooed on his pecs. Not musical, just strange. dB
