Introduction to Fretless Bass
Marios Sav 28.07.2018
This is an excellent book which goes through all the important aspects of playing fretless bass. It the beginning, one can find the basics of fretless bass, after that there is a section with the basic scales (ionian to locrian). After completing the basics you will be forced to get your fretless chops to the next level by practising all the fretless exclusive techniques like vibrato and sliding harmonics. Finally in the last chapters you will find a variety of playing styles to practice from rock to jazz fusion and beyond. All and all it is a great book, but keep in mind that you need to have a certain level of proficiency at playing bass before you try to tackle this bad boy. I highly recommend buying it if you are ready to commit on studying this amazing melodic instrument that is called fretless bass.

PS: You will need at least a 5 string Bass for this book

Manuale utile e piacevole
Anonymous 10.01.2017
Non avendo masi suonato su tastiera fretless ho acquistato questo manuale anche per superare certi timori sulla mia capacità di suonare intonato.
Il volumetto (40 pagine) infatti affronta da subito gli esercizi fondamentali di intonazione (cap.1) presentando scale di diverso tipo (diatoniche, a intervalli, modali) ed alcuni pattern per costituire una solida base preparatoria (tutto scritto sia su pentagramma che su tablatura). Procede (cap. 2) con la presentazione di diverse tecniche di esecuzione (vibrato, slides, sliding harminics, ecc,) e con alcuni grooves (cap. 3) in diversi stili (pop, funk, latin, fusion). In conclusione (cap. 4) presenta due brani famosi ("As my brother" di Bunny Brunel e "First Flight" di Tristan des Prés) per cimentarsi con qualcosa di più impegnativo ma anche più gradevole. Per ognuno degli esercizi (ultimi due brani compresi) c'è una traccia nel CD allegato (71 tracks complessivi).
Personalmente l'ho trovato molto utile sia dal punto di vista tecnico che nei suggerimenti di possibili grooves nei diversi stili (alcuni li ho adattati anche per il basso fretted).
Lo consiglio soprattutto per chi non ha mai suonato su basso fretless (per chi ha già un po' di esperienza i primi due capitoli potrebbero risultare del tutto inutili).

Eigentlich nur für 5-Saiter
Kammermusik 18.02.2022
Die Übungen und Tabulaturen sind für 5-Saiter und Gitarrenfingersatz (jeder Finger ein Bund) ausgelegt und gehen oft bis zum tiefen C. Wer einen 4-Saiter spielt und den Kontrabassfingersatz (kleiner Finger und Ringfinger greifen gemeinsam) verwendet, muss die Übungen also in doppelter Weise abändern und ist darauf angewiesen aus anderen Quellen zu erfahren, welcher Fingersatz dabei günstig ist.

Ich fände es auch besser, wenn die Audiotracks mit einem Einzähler beginnen, statt unmittelbar mit dem der ersten gespielten Note. Es fällt schwer, sofort mitzuspielen, nachdem man Play gedrückt hat.

Das vorgestellte Material an sich scheint inhaltlich sehr nützlich zu sein und im Verlauf der Schule auch sehr anspruchsvoll zu werden, aber ich habe bislang erst 9 von 71 Übungen gespielt. Die Erläuterungen zu den Übungen sind eher knapp.

Justo lo que buscaba.
Red Sunlight 23.07.2019
Empieza con ejercicios simples, para empezar a acostumbrarte al fretless ( y en mi caso, a la 5ª cuerda) y mejorar la precisión. Repasas escalas, intervalos y incluso los modos gregorianos. Poco a poco se va complicando más y más. Y a lo último, ya son ejemplos de diferentes estilos de música fusión y dos masterpieces, si no lo recuerdo mal.

Texto y nomenclatura en inglés.
Los ejercicios y canciones están escritas tanto en Pentagrama, como Tab. Adaptado para bajos de 5 cuerdas.
Además incluye un enlace para descargar los audios de los ejercicios y canciones.
En el libro hay poca explicación. Lo justo y necesario.

Si ya has tocado un bajo antes y tienes cierto nivel, es un libro muy recomendable.
