Thanks Chris
What a gentleman your are Christopher, I have watched this video 20 times and I never get tired of looking at it. I believe Mr. Horne's roots are from country and western music, as are mine. That is why I am so amazed at his soloing capabilities. Appreciate the help in posting this video. I always enjoy hearing an instrument being played as it was intended to be played.

Solos sound better on a Smith
I agree. He solos are amazing. I think he sounds better on the Smith than the others. Maybe I am bias towards a Smith bass. Smiths excel at fingerstyle technique IMO.

Yep...
I would agree. Not only finger-style but slap as well. I know for me it's about the feel first. Using the Smith Medium Taper Core Strings help towards hitting those 16th and 32nd note chops. I like the resiliency, snap-back feel, and tightness in tone you can achieve with these strings up and down the neck.

An example what I mean Smith's Excel at Fingerstyle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmjZToHAIhE
Chick Corea Electic Band - King Cockroach; featuring John Patitucci on Bass. Please note all the fingerstyle bass playing on the Smith, while the slap, crackle, pop stuff is done another bass. Mr. Horn demonstrated that both can be done on a Smith - however in this video - it is done using two different basses. I suppose he desired a different type of tone for the slap (thump) section of the song.

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. |

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.
