Hard to tell without hearing it?

Hi Michael, could it be that the pickup has contact with the neck. Or the strings too close to the pickup.

As Brian suggests it’s hard to diagnose problem without see Lin or hearing the guitar.

It may be your style, if you pick the string just before putting the slide on the string, that can cause unwanted noise.

Not yet Taffy. However,I’ve been too busy recently to get on with it.

All good, just wondering if you had it sorted, it often helps others to hear/see how issues are resolved

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s my slide technique. If I’m slow and deliberate everything sounds ok, but it’s when I try to speed things up it gets clumsy. If you can imagine an unfelted hammer hitting a piano string, that’s the noise I’m getting. Old arthritic hands don’t help.
