"The former is what I’ve always played on, with my ’77 Jazz Bass. An ash body and maple neck makes for a bright sound for slapping because the woods are so hard, but for fingerstyle you have to work a bit harder to make the notes jump out. With an alder and rosewood combination, fingerstyle seems to jump out more, but you can slap on it, as well. That’s the main difference, so we offer both."

In an interview posted in 2008 by fretlessbass.com, he says :

"I got my first fretless bass at age 17. It was a Kramer with a metal neck and a forked headstock. Kramer was nice enough to give it to me when I was in Lenny White’s fusion band."
