Thomas Miller's Sound - Symphony X

I'm happy to see some other people here who love his playing here :) There aren't many around, and he's playing greatly surpasses his "famousness".

Anyhoo, how does he get that dimmed fretless-like sound? I believe the best song to demonstrate that sound would be The Edge of Forever.. I haven't found any info about him, his rig or technique, so I can't say that he used a fretless for sure.. Maybe it's just eq and his technique, or maybe he uses a comressor and a slight chorus, I haven't got the slightest idea.

What do you think?

Please ignore my English.
Thx, Bocete
