Hello Rusty,
I wish I could say that I had an Alembic fretless that I played on that tune but it was not. I am still looking for that Alembic fretless with my name on it . ( so to speak ).
The fretless that I played on that cut was a bolt on Jazz Bass type project assembled of parts that I collected in the early 1990s. The body is a simple Stewart-Macdonald , Ash Jazz bass body. The bridge is a Schaller roller saddle bridge, The tuners are also Schaller large gear Fender types . The neck was originally a Chandler lined fretless neck made from Maple with a rosewood lined fingerboard that I saw hanging in a local music store that I traded other merchandise for. I wanted to have the fingerboard finished with a hard epoxy like finish such as JACO had done. ___Next ; Jerry Dorsch (co-founder of Modulus Graphite with Geoff) applied the finish to the neck and also applied a clear finish to the body. Jerry also supplied a set of Bartolini 9W4 JJ pickups and assembled all the parts since he already had it all in his shop at the time . In the future I will likely install Alembic JJ Activator pickups in this bass.
