throwbackthursday – 2015, “surfing with the alien” at a Halloween gig. Playing in this morph suit was more tricky than anticipated because my field of vision was very blurry and having my fingers covered made it difficult to feel the strings and fretboard. I had a lot of fun anyways! Time to start thinking about my Halloween costume for this year. Any ideas?
You’d think by now I would have figured out the proper way to hold this thing.

Looking forward to rocking out with these non-gentlemen tonight (@werenogentlemen) at a rehearsal for an upcoming live video shoot.
Of all the fretless basses I’ve owned, this one is definitely my favorite.
Of all the fretless basses I’ve owned, this one is definitely my favorite. The rosewood in the custom @alperiouspickguard matches the rosewood in the neck, and features Alper’s signature ‘Exotic Shine’ design. This bass was originally a fretted Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray5H, but the team at @13thstreetguitars converted it to fretless using strips of rosewood to replace the frets, PLEK’d it, and set it up for me. The unfinished neck feels great and the tone is fantastic. I use @ernieball cobalt flatwound strings on this bass, which provide a nice blend of modern brightness and transients while still getting that classic flatwound thump. It’s easy to get this bass to produce those quintessential ‘growls & mewls’ that fretless instruments are known for, which is why I named it “Maulladora”.
