Woodlake tips on switching to fretless

[ivanfeg]

Hi all, I was wondering if you have any tips on switching from fretted to fretless bass? I am totally blind so any tips by feel would be great.
Thanks

The old blind blues guys would use a slide devise, bottle neck, 1/4 inch drive socket, etc. so they could slide into the correct spot.

If you can not see the dots then you use your ears. Sorry, beyond that I do not have an answer other than staying with a fretted guitar.

The other guys may come up with something.

As far as intonation goes. Anything or anyone you can play with is essential.
For private practice, Octaves and fifths are your friend.
