Description : At first glance, no one would have thought that removing the seemingly insignificant metal rods separating the notes on the fretboard of a bass guitar would open up a completely new harmonic panorama and turn it into an almost completely new instrument. But this is true. Sublime and lofty violin character, almost weightless glissando, rich, full and hearty sustain and incredibly unique overall expressiveness are all qualities that make it impossible to confuse it with a traditional bass. It is given out by a subtle vibrato or just hitting one note.
The Fretless EBX comes with a carefully selected instrument, sampled with the utmost 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 – respected for its tone but feared for its deep complexity. No matter what style you want to write in, welcome to the bass that covers the full dynamic and tonal range needed to overcome both ends. It’s the bass that lets you paint with sound – beyond the lines. Literally.
