anything by jaco. teen town, the chicken, which I'm workin on too, but on my fretted. sometimes i think it would be easier to play these pieces on a fretless so i didnt get fret buzz.

check out pearl jam definately. jeff ament is great. also the band death

i know that miss you by incubus and hey you by pink floyd have fretless bass. personally id stay away from the jaco/fusion/elevator music route myself.

Not to be a dick, but does anyone else get tired of "Good songs to learn on *type of bass here*" threads?

Continuum is probably the reason I want a fretless. Also Opeth's To Bid You Fairwell.

You'll be needing at least a 5 string for that :thumb:.

just because you're not a fan doesn't mean you should be advising someone against Jaco :rolleyes:

Tryxx, I want a fretless just so when I play Continuum, it sounds sexilicious
