Listen to the album " Heavy Weather" by Weather Report.
It is the one album that every "new" Fretless player must listen to.
After all these years...Jacos' sound is still inspirational.
Also check out any of The Firm (80's band with Jimmy Page) recordings . That Tony Franklin is pretty good too.
Oh yea and ANYTHING with Mick Karns .
HMMM.... Way too many good fretless players out there.
Enjoy.

: bands. I was sort of a Dee Dee Ramone type
: player. Anyway, in the past few months, I
: noticed that I was mainly playing bass lines
: on the guitar, so I got a elcheapo bass on
: eBay. A passion started!!!! Last weekend I
: got a Yamaha RBX200F, which I know is cheap,
: but the neck feels GREAT and the whole thing
: sits comfortably when I play. Eventually,
: I'll upgrade it's electronics. It had round
: wounds on it, but I put flats on yesterday.
: My years on guitar has given me
: lots-o-fretboard knowledge, so I'm already
: jamming along. By the way, no, I don't play
: like Dee Dee anymore. I have a much more
: melodic style. Sure, I need time to learn
: techniques, etc. Mainly, I'm playing guitar
: on the bass, while I learn. Lots of Hendrix
: parts, etc. FUN FUN FUN!!!
