When I was a kid, when I heard Ace Frehley’s fingers sliding on the strings was cool.
But, I really don’t like it when I play bass. I can roll the tone off, but I still hear it a bit, and I don’t like the sound with the tone rolled off.
Then I thought about the setup. Could my pickups be too close to the strings?
Check out this thread that was started by @JoshFossgreen to address that very issue.
In my case, just touch the strings generates noise. I can’t help but get a little string scrape as the finger moves a little, especially since I do some micro-shifting.
Ah, maybe I’m going to have to further refine my technique.
That sounds like an earth problem @kwt7667
