Fretless Bass! Which type is the best? [POLL]

Which style of pickup configuration is ideal for the best fretless tone?

  • Jazz

  • Precision

  • P/J

  • Stingray (MM)

  • Other... (describe)


Results are only viewable after voting.
I voted P/J, because I love my LTD Vintage 214.

However, the fretless tone that really makes me smile Comes from Wendler, which is a passive mixing of Magnetic and Piezo sounds. Really captures an upright sound like nothing else near the same pricepoint (around $1200).
