I did not think that level of clarity could come from passive pick ups. The pops and percussive elements still cut through without sounding thin or brittle. I hope my Bsrmw can do that! I'll find out Monday. |

As far as it sounding like that in the clip? Well, that's up to you.

Also, Looks like an earlier model BT6 (NT) with what looks like the Smith Concentric BT Circuit (3-knober) with S/P Switches. The Concentric BT Circuit, if I'm correct, does not have the Mid control. The Mid control part of the circuit is where Bass cut's through the mix best. So, this would be good news for you as your MW will have the Mid control.

I can't wait to get this bass! As far as ability, I just hope I'm never asked to do something like that! Lol, he has a nice touch that suits his style. |

Ken, your Smith circuits must be something else! Hazlab right? I hope I'm allowed to mention this but on another forum, we were asked for our opinions on a new bass that was a bolt on, double passive humbuckers and 2 band eq. It fared well over all but it many that tried it out mentioned the lack of clarity. The next year or so, that brand came out with a NT version of the same bass with a 3 band eq and the improved clarity was the main comment. I wonder if regular 2 band eq's have a pre set mid range setting. Anyway, all that matters now is that my Smith will be here soon (if it survives it's journey from the west coast) and in between practicing more than ever, I can spend my time nit picking over these details to pass the time and maybe learn something!

pre-set?

Think of a fine violin, add a good mic and then eq it. Make it solid and shape it like an electric bass guitar and what have you? A Smith Electric Bass. We answer to a higher authority.. |

My paraphrase: If you leave the Mid control flat (at center detent), than you get no Mid benefit and may as well not have it. I think what you'll find is if you add (i.e. + from center detent) a touch or so of the Mid control from the bass, you'll find your averall tone in the mix better. Just be sure you have a proper set-up for your playing style and a fresh set of strings.

My favorite setting for slap funk is the Bass and Treble up half or more each and the Mids cut just as much. This creates a notch filter effect, notching the mids out as it cleans out the low treble noise that drowns out the sizzle and takes out the high bass roll off which is just going nowhere. |
