Stringsandthings have replied and said they'll send me another set which is really good. They said it's a bit too long since purchase to know whether it's a manufacturing defect or something I've done so they asked for a pic which I have attached here also. To be honest I have given the strings a bit of a clean (before pic) and they still sound and feel OK - but a new set is appreciated!

Ah yes I meant to say I want the WL20L, I thought the models were the other way round. Yes just a pure signal please!
-
It will be interesting to A/B it with my favourite cable. I can definitely hear the difference between that and a few others I have, so I assume/hope the wireless will be up there in terms of quality (but I assume not as good as the best cable)
-
Yes it could have been a cumulative effect - I think I was super sensitive to it as I'd just returned an iRig 2 HD because the latency was really noticeable. I'm pretty sure I had a Smoothhound and another I tried was a Shure (I think?) but really can't remember. I really like the look of the Boss wireless so perhaps worth giving another go. It's just that at home I play with what (to me) is a perfect setup which sounds so crystal clear that any noise or latency stands right out. I mean I am even able to hear a difference in cables, something I never thought possible. I might give the Boss WL-20 a go then...
-
I have yet to try one where I don't notice the latency (in studio environment). It's a shame because I really don't like cables all over the place and I love gadgets

Dave came over with an envelope full of cash in exchange for a Ken Smith bass. Perfect deal, no messing about - enjoy the bass! A good BCer, folks! ped

@Mastodon2 has a 1991 BT

Look after her glad you like it and let me know how you get on with it. You’ve got a very special bass there 👍🏼 -
Thanks, it really is - I would never have sold it except for this one bass (how many times have we all said that!)
-
On hold - potentially sold within hours! Cheers

Hi guys I have seen another Smith that I really must have (4 string) so I need to sell this amazing bass. Everything about it is perfect; it has the exact ‘Smith Sound’ and is in superb condition. Its a BT5 model form 1991. It has a volume with pull passive mode which works without a battery, then a pickup pan knob followed by a stacked bass and treble. Most people say this is the classic Smith pre. The front and back is figured Koa (FK in serial number). Then there’s a maple layer with a mahogany centre. Theneck is graphite reinforced, maple and morado five piece. The setup is flat and low - making it effortless to play. The whole bass is so thin and resonant - slap an E on this and your whole body shakes. It comes with the original (again, sought after) teardrop hard case and leather strap. Currently strung with Elixir .040s. Weight is 4.4kg Collection from/near York strongly preferred although I’m happy to meet halfway to basically anywhere to ensure safe and happy receipt of bass. Some pics - can take more in request! Cheers ped

Hopefully a dodgy set then. I’ve found a few people saying they’ve had rusty ones on google but will be interested to hear what EB say. I bought mine on eBay from a shop so not sure who should be compensating

Hi folks I fitted some EB Cobalt flats in March. I really like them and have played them a fair bit at home. However I noticed yesterday that they have rusted quite badly (and quickly) around the 20th fret and the playing area over the pickups. Is that normal for these strings? I hope not as I really like them - I’ve contacted Ernie Ball so will let you know what they say. Maybe I got a dud set? Anyway I've ordered some Labella super light flats to try as for some reason I’ve never given them a go.
-
Well I don't want to speak for Jason but I know their strings are made on the same machines which were hand made by his father so I guess there's no sense in changing them - presumably other manufacturers started by copying Rotosound and did things in the same way.
-
Just asked Jason How at Rotosound: So there you have it!

Every day I’m more convinced Mick is employed by eBay

Now is that ‘weird or wonderful’ 🤔 -
I THINK it’s because the new update lets you post as a guest but the content only appears if the guest responds to the next prompt to join as a member. It looks like it’s sending out a notification before the post is approved, which is a bit silly. Reckon that’s right, but will check. There’s another update due and I think I remember reading something about this issue being changed.

You might have more luck messaging the person in question directly, just a thought
-
You should find that as you get smoother you can lower your action right down. The slap should have very little force behind it, you merely bounce off the string. Try sitting in front of the TV slapping a fretted note until it feels smooth and fluid. Another thing is timing - and the use of dead notes in between slaps and pops for the percussive rhythm.
-
Don’t worry about always popping after slapping. Develop the slap first if you like. I too found it misleading when all the books seem to suggest every slap should be followed by a pop. Personally I find them two completely different techniques which can be blended but not always together.

There should be a ‘Bump’ button on the topic near the top. We recently enabled it in that forum. It may not have affected posts over a certain age though so feel free to post the ad again this time. Cheers

I think it was a joke, just incase China were sending a John Hall faker to fool us all

I think conductive paint is best for the body then use foil on the back of the scratch plate
