Ah whoops I thought I was being clever - foiled again!

Are the numbers printed wrong 🤣

Wow that’s pretty bling! So does an HH ray sound the same as an H when you select the rear pickup only?

I like the box. Blister packs are the thing that should be banned

Excuse me putting this here I bet you’re all sick of it now 🤗

Has anyone tried these? I’ve got a friend who can get me some cheap. Think they might be quite good in conjunction with Backbeat. I always use headphones at home and studio and last time I played live I used Shure e2C which I used to really like. Cheers ped

Great, I did see some ramps recently and thought of you. Hope you manage to get comfortable. My Vigier pickups are in a similar location so I’m the other way round - a jazz takes getting used to because the neck pickup seems far forward and the strings are a bit looser up there! Here with my favourite strap (except all my other straps)

Took a few pics today. Really loving this bass. I’m finding it really comfortable to play. It’s wearing some rather old Cobalt Flats currently which suit it really well. They came off my P bass as they were too lively, so as you can see they’re chewed up pretty badly at the headstock - but they’ve been stable for a few weeks now and it would be a shame to waste them!

No they’re not. I think you’re drunk.

That

Great thank you 🙏

I’ve got a couple of blue ones coming here so I can have an Xmas jam with my brother on his V drums. Can anyone tell me what cables they come with? Otherwise I might need to find a cable to connect them together - is that a 3.5mm stereo jack?

We're actually just off the Virgin Isles in a submarine based HQ which we can move around the globe as convenient to escape certain legal and assassination requirements.

The polish is great too! Yeah I think the satin finish is a new option, although I believe it was offered a while back the more recent Smiths are high gloss. Looks great.

Ah but you barely have to replace Elixirs, so they work out cheaper!

Yep, lovely things! I have't tried the steels in years though as they don't come in my size. The nickel ones just sound perfect on hi-fi basses IMO.

Amazing bass - what a collection!! All with too many strings! 😂 If it's any help I always found Elixir strings sounded amazing on a Smith; the nickel warmth and everlasting brightness really suited the character of the bass. Looks like a satin finish, that's new isn't it?

I was doing something on Youtube earlier and came across this I recorded a few years ago. Terrible but there are some synth soundz in there!

Cant believe they haven’t arrived still. I’ll send you more as soon as I’m ready to start the full sales which hopefully will be in a few weeks time.

Yes - still very noticeable. I use quite a lot of ghost notes and finger striking and it's very easy to spot when they arrive a tiny bit late. Probably wounds notice it live but it was really off-putting at home. Think I'll stick to a cable for that.

I'd like to try the Boss ones but I found the latency too much on my Smoothound.

Has anyone mentioned dUg yet?

I've never played a twin pickup model but there's something pretty neat looking about them. I guess the front pup might get in the way if you pop in that area, so maybe you need an HS model!
