  1. Does anyone have an old Schaller M4 (treble side) kicking around somewhere?  Preferably gold but I'll take whatever is available...

      I had the same issue with my alembic tuners getting a bit loose so i got some  new one from Schaller and they were the large size and had to take my bass to Jaydee custom guitars to get them fitted. 

      I 'm not sure if i still have the old ones but i will have a look if I can find them you are welcome to the tuner for the cost of postage.

       

      Will reply later when i get a chance to look through my spares box.  

  2. Saw John Butler Trio tonight at London Hammersmith Apollo. The bassist could not be heard with his Warwick SSI 5 string and Aguilar db751 setup. Yet when he played his bass synth it was roaring with low end. Where do they find these sound engineers????

      I saw Level 42 last night at the Birmingham Symphony Hall and they had the Blow Monkeys on support. You could not near any clarity in the bass guitar from the blow monkeys at all just a thud until he used a pick, then it was all mids and no low end. 
      Level 42 was  not as bad but there was no low end I could decifer coming from Mark's bass at all, it seemed to be mainly  mids and toppy and the bottom end coming from the meaty bass synth and sequencers of Mike Lindup. The only bottom end you could hear from Mark was when he changed to a different bass with a PJ setup for the encore and did a short solo introduction to the next track. That situation in my experience seems to be worse at large venues. 

      That said I saw Mark on stage with his new red fender styled Status bass at the BBC Big Weekend festival this summer guesting with Nigel Kennedy. It sounded PROPER! Bottom mids tops. Crisp!
      Like you GisserD, I too am disappointed with the sound at large venues especially the bass and bass drum. Maybe it is just something about large venues themselves and sound guys having to make compromises, doing their best but being thwarted by physics.
