  1. Off topic, but quite a lot of FOH engineers now on large tours will mix in stereo. An example would be if the singer points to the brass section for a solo section, it makes sense to the audience that the sound should come from that side of the stage. It's never hard panned, but the stereo field is utilised often.
  2. I love mine, it's a great vibe and look for acoustic/jazz gigs. I have La Bella 760FS on mine and they are fantastic, although I have considered a slightly lighter gauge (760FL perhaps). The tone is beaut!
  3. Remember it well! Welcome to BC

    In Memoriam

    Very sad news indeed. Another good guy gone.
  5. Have you seen the new Di Marzio Relentless J pickups? They have adjustable pole pieces: https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/standard-bass/relentless-j-pair
  6. All strung top load only. I'm never convinced about the break angle for the thru body stringing!
  7. Love this! I have a thing for post 2010 white US Fenders (with the US****** serial numbers) - they are just immense! I have five of them! My P's are strung with La Bella 760FS and they just bark.
  8. I love stereo IEMs. The separation between instruments is so much better, I don't have the beltpack as loud as a result and everything sounds clearer in the mix. Typically, I pan drums to the right, all other band members to the left and have myself in the middle of the stereo field.
  9. Bought quite a few guitars from mainland UK and had them sent here with absolutely no issues. Courier booked in the normal way with no additional forms or paperwork at all.
  10. I'll weigh in with the fantastic Fontaines DC:
  11. Agreed. There's a difference in x-over frequency too between the *35 and *45 speakers. The latter sends a lot more to the horn which makes the woofer more efficient for bass and kick drum (although I would still always hi-pass both)
  12. Is the sound there when the bass isn't plugged in - i.e. can it be heard acoustically?
  13. I went from DR Lo Rider nickels to NYXLs as my round of choice. They sound great! I use them on both P and J Fenders.
  14. Anything by Black Sabbath or Ghost 🤘
  15. I use a pair of RCF 745A as our band PA - I generally high pass the bass and drums a bit, but no issues handling a full band including mic'd kit and two mic'd guitar amps for small to medium bar gigs (100 - 200 people)
  16. The bridge on the Elites is also superior, offering 3/4 slots per string to get the alignment over the pickups correct. The Ultra has that new big block Fender bridge which doesn't have the same option.
  17. They were replaced with the inferior (IMO) Ultra series.
  18. La Bella Deep Talkin 45-105 are definitely a higher tension than equivalent gauge rounds - not by much, but it's noticeable. Not every manufacturer releases tension measurements either. There's a bit of trial and error involved I find.
  19. https://reverb.com/uk/item/59888133-fender-precision-bass-rare-slab-body-john-entwistle-1966-white Oh my gilly goodness. That is all
  20. https://reverb.com/uk/item/59888133-fender-precision-bass-rare-slab-body-john-entwistle-1966-white Wow. Wow. Wow.
  21. I use both the Beta 58A and the E945 live (both with minimal processing) and for vocals in my higher register, I think the E945 sounds better.
  22. A wonderful speaker. My band uses two of these as our PA (MK4s). Highly recommended!
