If your muting is poor it doesn't matter what about tone or feel, bad muting technique through a few hundred watts on rounds sticks out like a sore thumb. You can get away with a little more on flats.

 

I suspect your tolerance of string noise is significantly lower than most.

My preference is clean technique, which is a lot of hard work.

 

Nothing comes for nothing.

That’s commendable. I’m sure your audiences appreciate the lack of string noise.

I've worked for over thirty years as a professional musician, I must be doing something right I would imagine.

Are you suggesting you’re a professional musician because you don’t have string noise?

This is school yard stuff. I won't waste any more time on it.

 

Sorry I made a comment on flat wound strings, it's obviously wounded you deeply. I take it back, all of it.

So, you've been a member of BC for four days now. How you finding it? 😬

Not sure why this string noise issue is getting so confrontational.  Me, I just like to hear what other players have to say 🙂

Did you really have to bring up the subject of slapping?

My strings make a noise. 

 

Given how much I've spent on basses and amplifiers I'd be really bloody cross if they didn't

It would be a lot quieter with flatfish.

My grandad didn't die in two world wars so you could have string noise.

Lol, for the first time ever I wanted to use the correct term for female dogs, in the right context as well, but the swear filter won't let me!!

 

Anyway, my point was supposed to be about the misinterpretation of "string noise"
