The original pickups are Bart Mk1's that come on most if not all SR's. I'll need to refit them to get some sound samples. Its a three band like the ibanez original but way less peaky and its not prone to signal distortion. I have had a number of Ibanez over the years (sR505, BTB's, EDA905 and the premium series) and the pre amp is always a bit of an achilless heal imho and even if they work i tend to swap them out except for the premium but thats was a £1200 bass so ... -
Very versatile littlle preamp with Distortion, Compressor and tuner Great for IEM jobs-

So I have been having such a positive experience since I started using my IEM’s more and more, with the exception that even the largest Comply tip doesnt seem to want to stay sealed in my left ear. As suggested by @dave_bass5 I’ve tried a smaller tip too without success. So, I am now thinking of going down the custom moulded route. My question is, is there a significant advantage in going with a vented ambient IEM such as the ACS Evolve over a standard non-vented ambient design? I’ve had great service from my ACS custom moulded ear protection, and I am minded to go with them for my IEM solution with the Evolve being about the price point I’d like to pay. -
Andertons website showing one blue in stock today. Very tempted, then remembered my Squirt James Johnston jazz bass- got blue covered!

Are the MK1 Bart's the same as the ones that are in the SR500 series? Also, what is the generic preamp, i.e. 2 band or 3 band? And finally, do you have any sound samples with the Barts in? Lots of questions! 🤣

So, played the Farmyard Party at the weekend - pics above on @casapete's post a couple of pages ago. The Friday was very hot and sticky. As we were staying over, I had to put up a large tent pretty much on my own (the missus is recovering from an operation on her hands) in rock hard ground - hence me managing to look sweaty, pasty and sunburnt all at the same time in Pete's picture above. Great to meet Pete before the gig - I was obviously pretty busy trying to get everything ready for our show, so I only managed to see a couple of songs from his band, but he is obviously a very tidy bass player. There was a bit of a groan from backstage as they played a song on our setlist, but fortunately that seemed to be the only one so we managed to avoid too many duplicate songs! The gig itself was a bit hit and miss. We had a (very good) dep guitarist and it had been sounding brilliant in the three rehearsals we managed to get in before. However, live there were a few adventures starting and (particularly) ending songs and a fair few missed cues. Endings became a bit of a negotiation between me, the guitarist and the drummer, with the poor keyboard playing trying to work out what was happening from the other side of the stage! However, we got a pretty good audience reaction and had a lot of very positive feedback after the show (with a couple of gig offers thrown in), so it can't have been too bad - amazing what you can get away without the audience noticing when playing live sometimes! Gear wise, I was using the 70s P bass and the usual set-up of a Shure GLXD wireless, Thumpinator, Cali76 bass comp and Caveman pre into a Handbox R400 and Berg CN212 cab.

LFSys Monaco for sure!

That is bee-yootiful, what a looker!

And... the one issue when in more than one band. I just got asked to a rehearsal for a gig I hadn't been told about on 5 July. I have another gig in the diary and I'm committed to that, so the others are going to have to find a dep.

I’ll DM you. @reggieboomboom, I have something you may be interested in.

Lovely looking bass. As well as the truss-rod, do these have carbon rods reinforcing the neck? -
I actually prefer a direct sale, but it always depends. Maybe you can send me your ideas via pm. -
Loosely inserted earplugs fall out. In fact part of the problems with IEMs is them falling out, one of mine always does. And once you have something inears, you would probably want the bass there. If you are getting your IEM feed from the mixer, can't you connect a DI from your bass amp to the mixer? you don't need to put it out through the PA, just there so you can feed it to IEM. As to the ZS10s, I love mine, other people not so keen but it is a good place to start as they are not hugely expensive so you can decide whether you like them or not. Although if you are genuinely going to try the loosely inserted things, maybe not the right choice as I am not sure it would be possible with those - they are reasonably heavy so not fitting them properly will make them just fall out - maybe something like iPhone headphones or something are a better way to go as they don't make a seal -

Not cabs basically (storage being the issue). I have a basses but never quite enough... -
Hell yes, no point in having them otherwise. The Shuker comes out for Destroyers gigs, and at the moment it's the Spector (my best currently-working 4) for Skaville gigs. My Wal Pro is up on blocks at the moment, needing some serious electronical fettling, but as soon as it's match fit it'll be coming out to play ska. None of my basses are case queens.

Bought a Markbass Combo from Ash, beautifully packaged, very smooth process, Thanks Ash

I do, (Dingwall ABZ) its already second hand over 10 years old, already has plenty of dings etc, like others have said no point in having it and not playing it. I have been in that position many times before, when I got my US precision 10 years ago second hand it was mint, I debated selling it for a relic model but in the end it played so well I just accepted that it will (I'm very clumsy) not be mint for long and they are meant to be played.

Ive managed to find a guitar box, so delivery is now an option -
You only really need to read the first few posts. Loosely inserted IEMs in your ears is not the way to go. -
Plenty of people on here use UE6 - it’s the entry point I recommend for the pro experience in a custom.

OK, please bear with me as I am only just now dipping my toe into IEM waters, and only really for my backing vox. The idea being that the in-ears themselves just give me a vocal feed and are loosely inserted so that they do NOT provide a tight seal in my ears, so that I get the ambient sound of my bass coming through (the bass being quite loud on stage as it's backline only and not going through the PA). It's all very simple stuff, just a monitor output from the desk fired through a 5.8GHz wireless gadget into a set of in-ears. In the very first post in this huge thread, there's mention of KZ ZS10 buds as a good place to start... would these do as a toe-dip? I'd like something with a decent bass response so I could also use them with an mp3 player etc for long journeys or the like. I realise this has probably been covered somewhere within the thread, but I don't really have the time to trawl through 74 pages. Linsoul-KZ-ZS10 Earphones
