    no problem, if you're looking for slimmer bodied then one of my favorites is the Aria sandpiper, not easy to come by but i could get you a try on one as my best friend has one (a few years old and a bit battle scarred but a really lovely guitar) the shop on old george yard used to sell them but is more selling secondhand guitars now.

    the sandpiper is akin to the Yamaha APX but the sound quality is on another level (judging by the ones i've played form both ranges)

    Fender make some very slim acoustics but they're strat or tele shaped rather than traditional shaped.

    i tend to buy most of my guitar stuff from the shop on old george yard, the owner Bryan has become a friend over the years (and the thousands of pounds i've spent in there!)

    My guitar teacher when i was at school had a sandpiper and i remember it being one of the nicest things i've played.

    I've often said this to people - spending money on IEM is an expensive game... but if you consider them as a cab replacement, "Bergs for your ears", the cost isn't that different really. It's just that there's less sizeable goods to show for your money! If the PA is doing the grunt work (which it should be doing anyway), it makes sense to have better monitors in your ear as opposed to volume wars with a cab... and it will clear up your bands sound greatly. (No bass leaking into open mics etc)

    If i started gigging again i just wouldn't bother with the cabs at all unless i had to have one. Even for a pub/club band having a PA doing the legwork will give you a much better sound than trying to mix everyones amps.

  3. Bullet For My Valentine, Killswitch Engage and Cane Hill in Manchester a week and a half ago. Both saturday and sunday nights shows. Seeing The Poison live in full was brilliant, but i wasn't in any real position to enjoy it due to how tired i was which is a shame.

    I want a set of ACS Pro17... their graphs seem just right.
    What's the process? You contact them, sort through them an appointment with a local audiologist to get the moulds made... and wait a couple of weeks, or something along those lines, right?

    I did the whole thing through my local Boots branch. They do the impressions then deal with the rest for you,

    I've just ordered a set of the Pro 17's. Appointment for impressions at Boots on Thu morning.
    ACS state the 17's are more suited to amplified music and have a flatter overall db cut but note that some of you guys have been using the 10's or 15's which show on their graphs as cutting more of the high end along with the overall reduction.
    Have i ordered the wrong thing ?

    At £139 i want to make sure i've bought the right filter.

    I've never had an issue with the 17's. Everything still sounds nice to my ears, just a bit quiter and doesn't make my tinnitus any worse.

  6. Just bought tickets for Deaf Havana and Trivium (Seperately, that would be an odd lineup) in February next year. Coming up next for me is Bring Me The Horizon and Enter Shikari in London, followed by Bring Me again in Birmingham four days later.

    Looks like my total for this year so far is 16. Now i know where my money goes.
