Thank you Bruno, so glad you enjoyed it and it took you on a journey!

[@rose_amelia]

Glorious bass! Loving the colour

[@TheChenny73]

You know this is such a deceptively simple piece. I bet this is one that makes you proud. You make that bass sing like an old horn player from Harlem or New Orleans.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Buzz bass is the GOAT fretless. Beautiful playing Damian.

[@DamianCoccio]

Thank you

[@dmccombe7]

Once again such a nice tehnique without too many frills or showing off. Main focus is the melody being played and that's what makes your playing stand out from the others. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@DamianCoccio]

dmccombe7 Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

[@GlenGarcia1961]

@@DamianCoccio I agree. I've been playing for nearly forty years, but I've never been that fast a player, finding my bliss in keeping a solid beat and focusing on a better grasp of melody and harmony. Thanks for sharing, you are fast becoming one of my favorite bassists to listen to, and I wouldn't be surprised to find myself being influenced by your work. You are awesome, sir.

[@DamianCoccio]

Glen Garcia thank you!

[@GlenGarcia1961]

@@DamianCoccio No, thank you, sir, for inspiring me to find the personal courage - and invest the basic funds (Boss looper) - to set out on my own, creating my own simple compositions that focus on melody, harmony, and rhythm. Question: is Michael Manring an influence, tonally? You and him are both influencing me especially in that area.

[@DamianCoccio]

Glen Garcia excellent, best wishes on your creative journey! Yes, absolutely, Michael was an inspiration. Thank you for letting me know.

[@jahmic]

[@bonevalle1920]

Fretless Pedulla's are the sweetest sounding basses on Earth in my personal opinion... sounds like you are in Heaven.

[@DamianCoccio]

They are great sounding basses with incredible sustain for producing a singing sustain in the melody lines like no other fretless! I wish they worked better for me ergonomically and the company was easier to work with. The neck is too thin for my hands and causes cramping and the overall comfort and balance is seriously lacking. I was forced to sell mine due to those issues. The luthier has no interest in accommodating any form of customization for any price. I have found Fbass and Fodera (great companies) very accommodating in this regard and a very special custom 5 string fretless is being built for me to address those issues.

[@bonevalle1920]

@@DamianCoccio I had a similar experience with my fretless Pentabuzz, it was really hard letting it go the tone was magical. I'm assuming you had difficult experience letting yours go too... thanx for the song in video it's very comforting, soothing, heavenly.... just purchased it on iTunes
