Ibanez fretless bass

  There was a time, around age 21 or so, when I thought playing bass is easy. Plus, I really liked Jaco Pastorius’ playing. Well, one day this Ibanez fretless bass showed up in my favorite music store, Musicland in Albstadt, Germany. And it was very affordable. At the time I was already playing bass occasionally using my brother’s old Marathon bass (don’t ask me about that one). So this was my first own bass guitar. But even just playing the root notes on pitch proved to be so hard that I only tried it at home. It is a very nice bass, though. The thing doesn’t sound like Jaco, too dull. Maybe adding a pre-amp would help.
