Each to their own?

 

P.S.: in my opinion, it's a shame that speaking of famous fretless players, nobody ever talks about John Giblin. Does somebody know whether he played flats or rounds?

Most fretless players were using rounds (Jaco, Tony Franklin, Tony Levin, John Giblin, Gary Willis, Percy Jones etc.)

I'm not quite sure whether it's authentic since there's hardly any other stuff on the Internet to compare with. I wonder if here's someone who knew him personally.

I use rounds. That's just me though.

Rounds only for me

Rounds only on Precision, both on Stingray.

I should say, I use rounds.
