He\u2019s a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and recording student. His main project is \u201cThe Sun In The Sea\u201d. We defretted his Toby 4. I talked him through how to make some of the tools needed for this with a grinder, then we defretted the bass. I pulled the first few to show him, and then he worked on his own. He wanted the new fret lines to match the body color, so I blended a batch of DAP with some stain while he continued working. He liked the strings on my DIY fretless, so we put a set of GHS Stainless Steel Precision Flatwounds on. I did a setup (as he likes to tap and it\u2019s definitely part of his vocabulary); there much happiness on this rainy day. The end result; the bass sounded vocal, expressive, loud, and warm. Fast action, easy to tap, nice fretless voice.

\n\nYou can hear Braden in action on this track, titled “Jar”<\/a>. He wrote and did all the work on this track…guitar parts, bass parts, recording, mixing, mastering, everything. Check it out.<\/p>\n
