bridge or blend
 
Thanks for that clip, Rufus. That's a very nice sounding fretless. Was that a blended sound or a bridge-pickup sound?

I remember this from the first posting earlier in the year and assumed it had sold.

Cheers.

Hi Kevin
Its mainly back p/up w about 20% of the front blended...
Obviously it does have the Smith quality, given the electronics,p/ups etc, but I always found the bass could get plenty of low end punch too...
Will see if i can find another track to post too..
