Trying out my new Boulder Creek fretless bass (and my Sony Camera). Playing Redemption Song by ear (as you can probably tell :)

As a guitar player constantly needing to 'warn up ..I can see why so many move to playing the Bass! Now, all I need to do is learn some actual Bass lines :) Think I'll start with Redemption Song ..rather than playing it by ear on a fretless bass ;-)
Thankfully I've played fretless guitar in the past, so my fingers have some 'fretless intonation' in them.

Any questions about the Bass guitar will be happily answered. I personally love these Boulder Creek fretless instruments. You do have to keep an eye on the aluminium strutting system it uses (as parts of it can move and cause rattles). However, once you get on top of it the Bass really sings ..and sometimes you find yourself thinking "I'm playing an upright Bass" ..because it can really capture 'that' sound.

Anyways, Happy Christmas and enjoy this 'one take' video :)
