Re: Eberhard's intonation...




>From: "Steve Lawson" <steve@steve-lawson.co.uk>
I'll never buy an unlined
fretless bass...

Ah...Steve, I know what you mean.  My new fretless five string is unlined 
(!), and I am going thru that very challenge of being in tune.  
Oddly..playing high is actually easier (perhaps my ears can discern the 
pitch better?).  It is getting better.  The positive aspect of all this is 
just how acute my sense of pitch, and time, have become thru all the work 
I 
have been doing on the fretless.

As a challenge and excecise in all of this I have been recording 
parts..mostly simple melodies...and then trying to double track them.  
Listening back I am finding where the "probelm areas" are.  It is a rather 
difficult task, and it makes me appreciate and respect Mick Karn even 
more.......
