    i know he uses the upright bass most of the time but on evenflow i think he uses an electric fretless bass while playing he runs and jump around the stage w/c is amazing he is still get the notes.

    it is not hard to play fretless bass when you are just sitting and you can clearly concentrate on hearing clearly what you are playing but on jeff's case ? jumping around and running arround w/ a fretless ? thats amazing


    that is really impressive, but they have played even flow atleast 500 times live, so to some extent muscle memory takes over...
    knowledge is a tree
    it's growing up just like me.

    Actually, he only uses his upright bass on a handful of songs.

    You're right, he does play a fretless electric bass guitar during the live set, and it is pretty amazing that he can find the spots on the fretboard while getting that into the performance.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
