The Freedom of Fretless Bass

Here are some fun grooves on my fretless Cortex that show the freedom & joy of playing fretless! I'm using a custom Cortex bass, built by excellent luthier Paul Lairat, strung up with Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinkys. It has a flamed maple fingerboard with epoxy, walnut body and spalted maple top, it's loaded with a single Nordstrand Dual Coil pickup with 2 band eq. I used a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and a Rodenberg 707b booster, the signal was recorded straight into my Focusrite audio interface. Drums were recorded with Korg midi pads & Addictive Drums, mixing & mastering was done in Cubase. Thanks for watching!
