	Bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gibson basses also tended to be smaller, sleeker instruments; Gibson did not produce a 34" scale bass until 1963 with the release of the Thunderbird, which was also the first Gibson bass to utilize dual-humbucking pickups in a more traditional position, about halfway between the neck and bridge.
		Fretless basses have a distinct sound: the absence of frets means that the string must be pressed down directly onto the wood of the fingerboard and can buzz against it as with the double bass, sometimes described as a "mwaah" sound by bassists.
		Some fretless basses, such as those made by Pedulla, have fingerboards which are coated with epoxy to increase the durability of the fingerboard, enhance sustain and give a brighter tone.

	Fender Jazz Bass Guitar (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Fender Jazz bass is a legend, as well known and played today as any other bass.
		The Jazz bass was launched in 1960; buyers were wary of solid bodied basses at first, and so string mutes were standard until 1962, giving a more 'upright bass' sound.
		In this manner, any degree of bass and tremolo may be attained with further tone values increased or decreased by using individual volume controls.

		And even for jazz enthusiasts who had considered Berg to be a technically astounding and aggressive pianist with unstoppable energy, Blackbird reveals a more contemplative, but no less creative, side of his personality.

	Jazz bass wiring modification [Archive] - TalkBass Forums
		Basically, jazz bass pickups are wired in parallel, which contributes to the distinctive sound of the think.
		The disadvantage of series wiring of jazz bass pickups is that..it doesn't really sound like a jazz bass any more.
		So what I have done (and I am sure that others have done this before, but since I worked it out for myself I feel quite proud of it!) is install a push/pull pot for the tone control, and wired it so that I get parallel wiring in one position, and series in the other.

		I find all his albums endlessly interesting due to the unmistakable sound of his custom-built upright electric bass and his leanings toward classical music rather than the American tradition of jazz bass playing (not that I don't dig that too).
		Seven of the eight selections were composed by Weber for the recording, with the closing The Last Stage of a Long Journey coming from an earlier album but re-thought with an emphasis on a greater economy of expression.
