I think the damage had been done before the mibass stuff came out tbh

They made class D early on but it was terribly unreliable, you couldn't give them away.

Rotosound comment. Yep they go dull after about ten minutes for me.

The battery in my jazz bass is behind the pickguard (as you know Russ), I could fit one of those and a USB port to charge the bass somewhere. Hhmmm

It will just be a line out, the actual heavy lifting will be done from the power amp in the sub.

It's a bit of a complicated joke for me, I'd need A Major brain transplant to understand it.

Sounds like there's a few more people here ready to come over to the dark side and ditch the amps, maybe even go in ears!?

The first difference I see is what I thought about this one, the real one has real Fender knobs and a 3 ply pickguard.

From my model airplane messing I can tell you that lipo batteries are a different animal to many, using a balance charger each cell is charged to a specific voltage and as close to each other as possible, they also need to be stored at a specific voltage, also if they drop below a certain voltage either in use or by being left unused then they are scrap. They should be charged in a fire proof container, I use a Pyrex pot with a lid and charge on top of the glass hob. If you cut into one you'll burn your house down too! Other than that they are good. 😀

The tone/volume knobs aren't Fender either. Single ply pickguard on anything over £80 new is naff Imo too.

Not for me I'm afraid.

Burst and maple looks terrible.

It doesn't look like a Musicman finish to me, not that it matters really, cool bass.

We only do two of those, Valerie and Respect but it might not even be the same Respect, ours is the Erasure one. I used to find that the bands that I did deps for did covers from the same artists but different tracks!

Calling EBS_freak......

Bloody kids and their Walkmans... Anyone fancy a werthers original?

I actually find ear defenders worse for bone conduction, the volume required to pass via bone conduction in free air would be immense anyway so unless you rest your head on the PA speakers during gigs I don't think any of this matters.

With my KZ in ears in I can't really hear anything that isn't piped into them, they block out far more than the disposable foam plugs at work, it's quite alarming how loud a pub or function room is when you take them out after a gig.

Time to get into in ears!

I'm working on a factory today, earplugs are working a treat.

Pardon?

Could be worth taking a punt as long as you don't need them soon.

Great in ear mix tonight, even the guitarist is starting to like them now! Cheap foam tips off ebay held my KZs in all night although they do alter the sound compared to the standard silicone ones.

Why would we need to wait? 😜
