The Blend node circled in red allows you to choose which to use. If the Blend value is 0 (as it is in the screenshot) then it is all procedural. If it is set to 1 then it will take whatever is in the Image node that's sitting next to it (which should be the bump map texture, of course!). Any value between 0 and 1 will take a mixture, with 0.5 being exactly half-and-half.

If you set the blend to .25 will it mix input 1 by .25 and .75 of input 2?

The math function next to it, that should always be set to multiply followed by the bump map correct?

Thanks for the image, btw ;)

My gut instinct tells me .2 of procedural mixed with .8 of bump map would produce excellent results.
