the true smith sound!
thank you for your quick reply to my string question Tim.do you recommend a certain smith string gauge for a very low action.im mostly using my thumb and index finger on the funk style slap with some ghost notes here and there and i heard that the lighter the gauge the cleaner the notes?.but then i guess the final sound one gets from his smith bass whether a 4,5 or 6 string is attributed to ones rig setup? is this correct.so then if i just want to get the smith preamp sound coming out of my rig and not all those add ons like mids,drive,scoop and 9 band eq and so on.should i set all levels and gains on my amp head to 0 or flatline?.i just want to basicly here the woods and electronics from my smith.how do you approach this?.

I was just wondering if I could get those strings directly from KS shop or do I have to find a french dealer ?
I've already checked here but I can't get medium taper core Smith strings in my close neighborhood ... How can I buy directly to Ken ? Is there any "on-line" shop ? |
