IEM Conundrum ....... possible solution??
Al Krow replied to Pirellithecat's topic in PA set up and use
That sounds like a best of both worlds scenario, thanks! So to summarise: by switching to pre fade setting for aux out: (i) singers will get consistent IEM volumes irrespective of what's going on with FoH volumes / adjustments (ii) singers will still get fx (reverb) in their IEMs, but based on FoH volumes, as fx is applied to the post fade signal. Is that a fair summary? -
Hobgoblin is more your folk music shop - they do have acoustic basses (4 string, fretless and even a 5 string which they made for me). But they specialise in stuff that other shops don't stock: accordions, thumb pianos, erhu (Chinese violin), Indian lap-harmoniums, fretless banjos, marimba, chambord, bagpipes, and a couple of zebra-hides worth of African drums. If you haven't heard of it, can't play it, and don't need it, Hobgoblin stock it.

I bet he dines out on that! I really like Hobgoblin, but I have also been a bit disappointed the last couple of times I've been in one. I just felt a bit unwelcome. Massive shout out to Foulds in Derby. Great shop.

Being Gig Fit (Like Match Fit in football)
TimR replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
I usually spend at least an hour revising the set in the afternoon before a gig. So by the end of a gig day I will probably have spent close on 4 hours of playing. I'm wondering how many of us do 30minutes a day of practice. -
IEM Conundrum ....... possible solution??
David Morison replied to Pirellithecat's topic in PA set up and use
Yeah, it's a little counter-intuitive, for sure. Your last line has it right - basically, all of the input channels feeding each mix can be pre-fade, but as the FX come post fade before they reach the IEM mix, they would remain post fade. So, if you turned up the vox in the main mix, the level of the dry vox would remain the same in the IEM, but the level of the vocal reverb would still increase in the IEM. Given that you hopefully don't need to make massive adjustments to vocal levels once the show is underway, and that the preferred reverb level is hopefully several dB lower than the dry vocal level in the first place this is unlikely to be a deal breaker, but it's an easily overlooked quirk that's worth being aware of. HTH, D. -
Here we go again... this is a great bass, but the length of it exacerbates my nerve pain, and no matter how incredible the tone is I need something a bit smaller that sits in a different position, like a Music Man. These are Jazz Bass size, with one extra fret, so a touch longer. I think that the magic of this bass is in the pickup, and not the pre amp as some folk have written online. I'm lucky enough to have bought a used pickup, which is pretty amazing as these basses are rare, so I'll be putting it into what ever bass I replace this one with - it has a huge output and sculpted tone. A maximum of 550 of these were made, with 250-275 in silver and the same amount in pink. This is another reason I've been reluctant to let it go; and also why I'm not all desperate to trade it - this advert is just out of curiosity to see if there's anything out there. Made in USA for about 2-3 years, this one from 2019. Weighs approx 9.33lbs / 4.23kg It's in a 9.5/10 condition, with just a few tiny marks on the back. Quatersawn neck, alder body, compound radius fingerboard, Tim Shaw designed pickup, Aguilar OBP-1, BA style bridge.... It's a beast. Comes with the original case and all candy. Trade only - for an EBMM Stingray Special, or maybe a pre 2018 Stingray.

Popped in there last year briefly. As a bassist I thought it had nothing to offer me.This is by no means meant in a slanderous way whatsoever.

One of the chaps there (John, who has since left) told me how Paul McCartney was a regular visitor to the shop, and he sold him a Hathway mandolin. Paul McCartney asked for a discount, and after a few minutes of negotiation, John said "in the time that we have been talking, you have earned enough in royalties to buy it!". All in good humour, and Paul McCartney paid full price. John also taught Paul McCartney a few chords, which he used in a song that he later released - Dance Tonight.

The holy grail of 4 string basses IMO. I love mine and have done well over a 1000 gigs with it. If I win the lottery, I'd love to have 2. -
Thanks all @BigRedXno just a stock photo, not my bass

WANT!! ...someone please buy my Spector in basses for sale -
Stentor Conservatoire. Advice Please 🙏
Duckyincarnate replied to JazzyJ's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I have this bass. It's a servicable student instrument that can be played for many years. I think it is a hybrid (despite what Stentor claim), with ply sides and back, and a solid spruce top. Though I have a much nicer bass (Bryant), I still take the Stentor out to plenty of gigs as I don't have to stress about it as much. However - I don't think this bass has been professionally set up. The finger board still has the original bevel and many luthiers would remove that when they do fingerboard work, in my experience. The bridge looks like the original one, and it has been made into a mess by someone trying to bring the action down. It'll need a set up for sure, possibly a new bridge too, which might run to about £300. The market value of a used Stentor like this would be about £1k-£1200 max, set up. So let that factor into your decision. -
I didn't even know there was one in London.

This was mine and is a gorgeous bass. Feels manageable with a wide strap even for a glass back like me. GLWTS Martin - this is a great price for a Precision of this era.- 1 reply

34mm condensor mic capsule replacement good ones ?
Dad3353 replied to funkgod's topic in General Discussion
Of interest, maybe... GearSpace : Red5 RV8 Recap..? Try contacting Red5 Audio, perhaps..? They could advise, or even repair it for you..? Their contact is ... Contact for Red5 Audio... -
Apparently Hobgoblin in London is Paul McCartney's favourite music shop....... it's spitting distance from his MPL Offices in Soho Square. Maybe he'll invest in the company?

Hi Donny. I’m afraid I’m not looking to trade. I really need a sale. Will consider close offers though. Derrick -
Looks great, i'm over Brighton way, would it be possible to arrange to come over and try it with my bass amp? Are you looking for cash or bank transfer? -
Really appreciate the offer mate, but I'm away next week.

1980 Fender Precision special, Lake Placid blue. Wired passively due to the active circuit needing a repair. 4.9kg as is typical for this model. I'm sure the circuit would be easy to fix, the bass works very well as is; priced to account for this issue. Great sounding bass, really even over the board without the 6th/7th fret G string dead spot problem. I've played many eras of P basses and this measures up sonically with the best of them. Selling due to it being a lean year for gigs. I can supply gut shots if required but there's no additional routing and due to the painted headstock it's pretty obvious it's not a bitsa. UK sale only, collection only but happy to meet up within reason. Fender fibreglass case ( well used and heavily stickered) included. Original parts included obviously also. Thanks for viewing, Martin

Thanks for your input guys. I'll go and have a look at it. I've talked my D B player mate into coming along so will see how it works out.

400 miles?....well it's got wheels and it's all downhill when you look at the map.

Congrats! They are amazing and versatile heads--and generally much underappreciated. I'm an Ampeg tube head guy, but love my ABM (same as yours). One pre tube doesn't replace a head full of tubes, but Ashdown has the best implementation of one tube pre I've ever played. I wish I had bought one years ago.

Well I may be in Edinburgh at the weekend and travelling to Peterborough on Thursday if that helps? Don’t mind bringing it that far buddy
