I have had sets of extra slinky (45-95) cobalt flats on two vintage pro thunderbirds for at least a couple of years and they're still in perfect condition on both basses. I use fast fret or Dunlop ultraglide 65 string conditioner regularly, so if the issue isn't isolated to specific batches, that *might* be the answer to prevent corrosion appearing.

I have tried a few overdrives and came to the conclusion that a blend control didn't help me find a setting I liked. i then tried and and settled on a TC MojoMojo which dirtys up the signal nicely

I play shortscales with flatwounds, so for me a tweeter is about as much use as a indicators on a BMW.
