Albums featuring fretless bass...

[hakkikt]

Hi Steve...

I took your recommendation to listen to Dalis Car and
I think it's quite interesting music.
(still looking for the Jethro Tull's A album).

What other albums featuring fretless bass can you recommend?....

Have you heard anything by Steve Bayley ?
He has some interesting works with Victor Wooten
in the Bass Extremes project...

regards,
Hakkikt

If you like those, definitely check out an album called Killowatt by Kazumi Watanabe, bassist is Bunny Brunell. Killer fretless, trust me, it's killer.

didn't the bassist, tony franklin, of blue murder (john sykes' band), play the fretless? i still remember the distinctive tone on the debut album.

I'm gonna check out that album. I forgot about him, he's a master too.
Have you heard the CAB album? Brunell on bass with Tony MacAlpine on guitar and Dennis Chambers on drums...
Great jazz album too!

what about Cab (Brunel, Chambers, MacAlpine)?

Kazumi's "Spice of Life 2" (Jeff Berlin on bass) also kicks ass.... just pick up any Kazumi Watanabe CD (except for Dandy, which is a piano-acoustic guitar duo kind of thing).

My fave fretless album is "Visions from the spiral generator" and that's from a totally objective perspective..hmmmm...but just wait and see folks!!!

If you like fretless bass then I recomend all of Sean Malones work: Cynic, Aghora, Gordian Knot (mostly stick), Cortland + he has played on lots of albums but theese are the ones I have heard and they are all very good.

Jaco Pastorius on his own & Wheather report can be worth to check out too, very impressive bass work eventhough I find most of the songs to not be very good but others seem to like them so give it a try!

"The gods are great, I am the greatest" Hail to Vintersorg!

Hey Steve, I heard that you guys with Dragonlord are playing with Nuclear Assault @ CBGBs.
Sounds cool. Definitely wanna go.

AUTOPSY - Fiend for Blood!

 

[Imperiled Earth]

the second Jim Mathoes solo release has some interesting fretless playing

I dont suppose anyone's going to mention Tony Levin's Waters Of Eden?

 

[Burning Darkness]

I think there's fretless bass on one of the song's on Metallica's Load? hehe...

 

[True-Believer]

Liquid Tension Experiment 1 & 2 have cool fretless tunes!
All albuns featuring Tony Levin (Stevens, Bozzio, Levin), Jaco Pastorius (The Fretless master), Wheather Report, and Sean Malone works!

Didn't the bass player from Yes play a fretless? If you want a great bass ablum, I'd say check out Fragile by Yes. I heard someone mention Victor Wooten earlier. He plays fraternity parties here where I go to school.
