Was they new flats, only some can feel tacky out of the packet but once they are played in they are silky smooth, maybe buy a lightly used set from here, they come up quite often 🙂
Thanks, I got one yesterday and im just trying it out with different basses, the jazz and bb1024 sound superb , my Hohner B2A has an active/passive switch and I just wondered if it’s ok to play active through the 0 dB input
