Fretless Freedom with the Seamoon Funk Machine
Funky good times with my fretless Cortex bass and a Seamoon FX Funk Machine pedal I love envelope filters and this ones a favorite for sure, it sounds fat and juicy, fully analog with nice sub harmonics. This classic pedal from the 70s has been revived by amazing bassist Neil Jason with Seamoon, doing the funk a welcome favor. He played the pedal back in time on some legendary recordings and made it now available again, the 70s ones are hard to get by so its pretty cool they got it back into this era. Envelope filters are all about groove and funk, it gives that squishy edge and percussive spark, its just fun, period. I think most bassists that have ventured into pedals have been into envelopes, for good reason :) Besides the Funk Machine I used 3 other pedals: a Rodenberg 707b booster, a Boss OC2 octaver and a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor. I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky round wound strings, the flamed maple fingerboard has a thin layer of epoxy to prevent wear. This fretless Cortex bass ha
