I am taking good care of the bass. The weather here changed radically during the last few weeks. The bass was always in the case but it seems like the climate change did its part anyway.

Well, at least you had it in the case! That's a good thing. Yeah, sounds like the "radical" climate change played its part.

Also, if you like the Smith Medium Taper Cores (and I can't imagine why you wouldn't), use the same strings and gauge going forward, other-wise, prepare for another set-up to accomodate the different strings/gauge. Ken does a nice set-up and the Smith Medium Taper Cores are the perfect match for any Smith bass. So any tweeking you do, should be minimal, using the same strings.
