    Absolutely beautiful. You make the song sound like it was composed for fretless bass.

    This was a really bold move, ESPECIALLY doing it on the fretless where the potential of clashing intonation is so evident. I came across this because I'm thinking of making it my next piece and wondered if any other bassists attempted it. Nicely done.

    Great job Arran, I know how difficult it is to maintain good intonation on a fretless bass guitar, and you do it justice.
    Well played man!

      Wow, good luck with that! :)
      I love playing things that weren't originally written for bass guitar - it's great to push yourself all the time as it keeps things interesting!

    Way awesome playing man! So difficult. Can only imagine your powers of focus and dedication. So two tracks?

    My friend plays bass. And, believe me, his intonation is good, so... it's possible

  • @Monster_Radio_Man

    This is fantastic man! Is this a piccolo bass or a standard?

    • @ArranMcSporran

      Hi Shannon,
      Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like it! :)
      It's standard 6-string bass tuning of BEADGC, but I have 27 frets on this bass, so I can reach an Eb (although there is an artificial harmonic in there which I use to hit a high F at the top of the chord at 1:42)
      All the best,
      Arran

    Good performance but the sound is too thin.
