This is officially my last “Level 2” cover for the challenge. This one somehow slipped through the cracks. Thanks for checking it out!

You sound really good. I wish i sounded that good on my fretless. Good job!

Thank you @autumnsdad1990! I’ve been using this bass on almost everything lately to get more comfortable with it. Tony Franklin’s True Fire course has been super helpful too. I use a bunch of his exercises and backing tracks to warm-up with. Be patient with yourself when going fretless. I’ve had some pretty terrible sounding practice sessions

Good to know that isn’t just me. I’m actually considering playing only the fretless for a month or so. Because it’s so easy to play it sloppy and have it sound awful.

This Cake song slipped under my radar back in the day, it’s definitely a good one though. Pepperoni came in to show his enthusiasm for the song as well. 
JINO Bass with preamp off. Neck Volume 90% and Bridge Volume 80%.
Thanks for watching!

Kind of fun to learn a Cake song I haven’t even heard before, maybe I should do some more Cake. Hmm, no think I’ll stick to the list. :slightly_smile:

Really well done on this one dude! Cake does have a handful of songs I’d love to learn on bass.
Thank you @cheeze_pizza yes they do have a lot. Next Cake song for me is their cover of I Will Survive, but I hope to finish the list first. Then I hope I have stamina enough to play it.
