on 01/23/2013 		I think the point of this is getting to know the sound of the various intervals around the fretless bass and knowing when the instrument is playing well as there is no frets you'd have to judge if the bass is playing correctly, They are a tough instrument with a lot of potential. The effects sound pretty bad, though it would work with the right piece of music. Where do you find the right piece of music?
