I don't know much about gear. I found the pick up and preamp on ebay. It's a EMG I guess pretty standard...???? paid $50 used.

2. Is the fretboard an original fretless or did someone pull the frets and fill in the slots?
Also don't know.
I got this bass about 12 years ago at a pawn shop.

So here is the story.
I went to this pawn shop to trade in a old speaker cab that I had. they gave me $75 for the cab. Then I saw that bass on a corner. They had just got it. It was all dusty and it looked pretty old. I kept asking the guy how much he wanted and he told me that he had to clean it up and check it out. Asked to come back another day. I kept bugging the guy, and he wanted to get rid of me. So then he went like "how about $75?"

$75. - yeah, that'l work, lol - great find! Chu Ching! When I heard your mix, I was certain it wasn't stock preamp or pick-ups; just wasn't sure what was on that bass. At first I thought it was JEast JRetro pre-amp. Either way, it sounds fantastic! Great score on that bass!

I am working on that. I've tried a lot of axes and I've had some real fancy custom basses, and after all I have to say, nothing feels like a Smith!

@Tim, Thank you for your nice comments.

Excellent! Very clean playing, Eduardo and it's clearly evident you care about that too.
