I just bought a electric fretless bass and I want to learn some of Jeff's bass lines. I know he uses it in even flow and garden but what else?

    Breath is a really cool fretless song he does.
    And before his first step... He's off again...

    This might be a dumb question but I've wondered for a while. How do you get the different sounding chords without the frets on the neck? Also, unless you're awesome at bass, how do you know exactly where to place your fingers so you get the proper sound? I don't play guitar or bass so pardon me if it's an obvious answer.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    The same way you do with violin, cello etc, you just do. You just learn where to put your fingers.

    yep. it comes naturally after a while. if you play with frets first you learn easier, then when you use a fretless, your hands just know where to go automatically. of course there are some instances where you mess up and go too far down/up when you're a beginner (like me) but you eventually get the hang of it :)
