Gary Willis, is without doubt, one of the most innovative and admired fretless bassists around. But what makes a fretless bass a great one?

As the story goes, back in the late ‘60s Jaco Pastorius ripped out the frets from his 1962 Fender Jazz Bass with a butter knife! Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones also played a home-made fretless bass as early as 1961, when Jaco was only 10!

But there is another way! In this weeks video I’m unveiling probably the best bang-for-buck fretless bass that money can buy!

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott :)
