Description
iFretless Bass is a professional virtual instrument that provides bass and guitar players with an expressive fretless playing surface. The layout is like an eight string bass guitar with the notes colored black and white like the keys of a piano. Although it looks different from a guitar neck, bass players will find it surprisingly easy to use.
The app's ability to measure the force of touches on the screen allows it to respond to dynamics and accented notes with a wide range of different tones for each instrument.

Ratings and Reviews
Good sounds and very playable, but...
A definite instrument in its own right. Ifretless bass can be played expressively - the nearest thing to an actual bass guitar on the ipad (or iPhone - it even works well on the small screen of my 4s). The sounds are good too, consistently so across the octaves. My only issue with ifretless bass though (hence 4 rather than 5 stars) is it doesn't allow driving bass lines to be played. Even triggering the same fret twice with different fingers, or the same note on different frets with different fingers in quick succession does not get the required sound; it is just too staccato. So a suggestion: a a selectable sustain function which keeps a note playing (with its natural ADSR) until another note on the same string is played.
Excellent
Fun app. Perform bass-lines you never knew you had in you! It doesn't take long to be playing a great sounding pattern with this app. Put it through some processing and you are away. Heartily recommended!
Now has playing surface in AU!
Having the playing surface in the AU has now made this a five star app. Hope the others join it!
