With fretless guitar, you have the same tuning, the same straps, the same picking, just the microtonalism to work out. Think of it as slide but different.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-82953819974329149102010-11-30T10:15:38.667-05:002010-11-30T10:15:38.667-05:00I tried out a fretless Yamaha (custom second hand ...I tried out a fretless Yamaha (custom second hand job) at a shop recently. Hopeless! It'd take a lot of work to get there - the guy in the shop demoed it with an ebow which was interesting but I don't think I'll head in that direction just yet :-)<br /><br />Love the twin neck though... :-)Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-49614413829458058432010-11-20T19:57:15.048-05:002010-11-20T19:57:15.048-05:00Moog: That would be good.

There was an autowah thing I couldn't get running. Second time, the instrument had no batteries and thus nada. <br /><br />Fretless: It's for me. And it's in my head only. But if you want to run with it, go ahead.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-44262789897970706682010-11-20T15:03:56.090-05:002010-11-20T15:03:56.090-05:00Sounds awesome.

I'd love to hea...Sounds awesome. Is it for me?<br /><br />I'd love to hear a fretless neck on a Moog guitar, with those active pickups.Joe Walkerhttp://fromthewoodshed.comnoreply@blogger.com
