WHEN GIGGING, DO YOU PREFER NECK P/U, BRIDGE P/U or MIDDLE?

It depends on the bass and song, but for the most part....
Fender J - Both
P Bass Lyte - Mostly mid with some bridge (80:20)
Ibanez SR885 - Blend knob slightly towards bridge (45:55)
Spector Legend 4 - Haven't gigged with it yet.

I couldn't vote because there wasn't a selection that applied to me. I use all three (bridge, middle and neck).
Seriously.....I typically have all three p/u's on and cranked. When I need subtle variations in tone I tend to just alter my technique. I am a hack though so take my comments for what you will.
holy crap......what is that bass!!??
