Description: At first glance, no one would have thought that removing the seemingly insignificant metal rods that separate the notes on the fretboard of a bass guitar would open up an entirely new harmonic panorama and transform it into an almost entirely new instrument. But this is true. The sublime and high violin character, the almost weightless glissando, the rich, full and hearty sustain and the incredibly unique overall expressiveness are all qualities that make it impossible to confuse it with a traditional bass. It is produced by a subtle vibrato or simply the strike of one note.
Fretless EBX comes with a carefully selected instrument sampled in maximum detail to capture all of these unique characteristics. In addition to sounds, it also includes a wide selection of presets, as well as customizable MIDI content tailored for fretless playing styles.
Immortalized by the likes of Sting, Les Claypool, Bernard Odum, Pino Palladino, Gary Willis and, of course, Jaco Pastorius, the fretless has truly become a mythical creature in the bass world – revered for its tone but feared for its profound complexity. No matter what style you choose to write in, welcome to bass that covers the full dynamic and tonal range needed to hit both ends. This is a bass that allows you to paint with sound – outside the lines. Literally.
