I'm on the KZs, if you get the tips fitting well there's no way the volume of the guitar amp should be getting through overly loud, is the guitarist on in ears too?

Most of the people I know that go to them are 50+

If you like this then Gary Karr is the guy to listen to, not that this guy isn't great too. When I watch someone like this I can see all the things he's doing right technique wise but I slip straight into my shoddy way of doing it, getting that left elbow up is my biggest fail, this guy has it nailed bang on, elbow up one way as the bow hand heads the opposite way. Brilliant. The intonation in thumb position is fantastic, hours and hours of practice gone into that. Thanks for sharing Ambient.

We've barely touched our in ears mix since it was first set up and saved into the mixer, I wouldn't use them in a venue where they were coming from an unknown source.

I wouldn't be too bothered if there were no more Rics or Gibsons fake or real tbh

That's another win for in ears, players get the volume they desire and the audience can get theirs.

Yep exactly the same, just loud mush.

I can't hear you but I'm assured this gold top sounds awesome...... WHAT YOU SAY..... EH?.... COME AGAIN....

WHAT?!

I can't remember if he was on ears at the time, might have been that gig that turned him onto them! Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg........

My mate Paul (who EBS_freak also knows) walked out of the Velvet Revolver gig at the NIA because it was so loud, he's a loud drummer in an old school rock band himself! I struggled on with my fingers in my ears, my ears were ringing for the next 24 hours.

Like the first batch of dinosaurs this new batch will be extinct in the near future anyway, there's very few young people shying away from technology and its their era, the wall of Marshall amps cliché has been done to death and understandably young people want their own thing, clean stages with light shows and screens is the thing now, who knows what will be going on in another 30 years but the vast majority of bonnamassa fans won't be alive by then, the rest will be deaf!

There's still loads of dinosaur promoters and venue owners etc, some of them are also in these loud dinosaur rock bands themselves!

I think it's great! We spent an afternoon once asking people in the street in Shrewsbury if they knew where "The Fox Hat Pub" was?

And we all know what's in there!

Peeling tolex?

Good point, it might be a decent quality speaker lead. Can you unscrew the end or find any writing on it?

That's what happens when you get the measurements mixed up between metric and imperial!

Awesome. At a previous geek meet we came up with the idea of lightweight Ampeg and Marshall etc flight cases, basically empty boxes to use to carry all your kit in then stack the empty boxes on stage to look the part complete with battery powered LED power lights, you could even put a mic in front to keep the dinosaurs in the audience happy and arguing that amps and cabs are still needed! An Ampeg 8x10 would make an ideal lighting rig case, behringer mixer in the head with all the XLRs coming out the back!

Two hats, lol😁

Nowt wrong with that Dan, lovely.

What are you using regarding pickups/mics etc? Big speakers behind big double basses with piezos or open mics tend to be feedback prone for me but there's only one way to find out really.

New Bonamassa tour mech!

Jeez, zombie thread! Are you her dad or something?! Lol

The feed still goes to the desk, I wouldn't bypass and go direct to the power amps. It's all hypothetical anyway, my originals days are done with. I'd happily do both tbf, my mixer running our in ears on stage instead of wedges or amps/cabs and di out to the sound crew to do as they please, which given no amps to bleed into mics and no vocal monitors to cause feedback into the mics I think they'd be very happy!
