He played at a music festival in my village and stayed at the hotel I work at. I had a good chat with him about guitars etc. but unfortunately never got to see him play. He got rave reviews from everyone that saw him though.
I own a 6 string fretless bass which i bough online without ever having tried a fretless and was expecting it to be a really hard learning curve, (Les Claypool once said going from 4 string fretted to 6 string fretless was like trying to play a trumpet!) but I actually found it quite easy; you just need to have a really good ear, which I think I do, and a bit of fretboard experience so you can play without looking!
Im not sure an electric guitar would be quite so easy though, especially with full chords. I have my intonation set on a slight curve to compensate for barre finger angle, but Ned really has it nailed.
