gorgeous.... what restraint and feel for choice of notes and placement. instant fandom, thank you.

Beautiful music...

What I see in the video about the bass:
- it's a Sabre
- the neck was defretted
- the bridge is probably a old style Sabre bridge (horseshoe)
- the string tree is at the newer EB position bewteen the A and D strings
- the pole pieces of the pickups cannot be seen

Hard to say. Could be an early EB, or a Sabre made from parts of different periods.

Others with more knowledge may be able to add more insight.


Anyway, I totally love that fretless sound.

I used to see Patrick on tour with Zappa...never imagined he'd end up doing that sort of thing. It's nice, though.

+1. The Zappa tours with O'Hearn and Bozzio were on smokin. But I also really like what he's doing these days too. Funny how things change.

 

[ScreaminFloyd]

That was very inspiring.

Whoa....!

Now that is how you play a fretless!

 

[keko]

Yeah, nice tunes!

Definitely de-fretted bass, great playing with feeling!

Yes could be a Sabre too but it is an Ernie Ball and Not a Leo Fender Music Man.
