I use my Smith's, 6 and 7 string basses, for both finger-style and slap. In the youtube (Driven) clip in my signature area - I slap the 7 string bass 95%. So Smith basses can do both - and do them well.
I merely was stating that, in my opinion - Smith Basses excel at finger-style.
I am playing my 6 string now. Slapping, tapping etc;. When I play fingerstyle - it's another level for me, personally. Other basses can get close, but not the same as Smith is - for me. It just feels good an sounds so clear.
Everyone should "buy" a new Smith and compare for yourself
OK - that's my two cents...
