My DI/Drive has to be the one for me. Currently an MXR M80 but i'd like to give the VT Bass DI a try as well. I'm lazy so when i was gigging any opportunity to not bring an amp was taken, so having a preamp on the board was useful.

45-105 Elixirs. Need a change sometime soon.
-
Swan, Flightcase Warehouse, Castle Cases. There's a few to choose from.

I was using hanging stands for a couple of years with no noticable issues myself.
-
I bought myself Steep, Forza Horizon 3's Blizzard Mountain expansion and a cooling upgrade for my PC. Might get something else yet.

Enter Shikari - Live at Alexandra Palace.
Or if live albums don't count, Normandie - Inguz. -
Enter Shikari - Enter Shikari

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.
-
Any gigs where i knew there was decent PA i would turn up with a P Bass and an MXR M80. Made life a lot easier and i've never wished i had an amp to use.

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 was always taught to use four for fretting. My pinkie still isn't as strong as i'd like it to be, but it gets a lot of use. The real fun is attempting four finger picking.

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepson was always a fun one in my last band. Might be worth having a quick look at bands like Terabrite and Halocene who do that sort of thing regularly.

That was my thought as well, or one of the Sandbergs maybe. -

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. -
There's no effects i don't like, it just depends on the situation and how much of said effect is used.

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. -
At that price it's hard to say no.

Does anyone have any experience with [url="http://www.rev33.com"]Rev33[/url] units? I've had one delivered today and just wondering if anyone else has used them.
-
Jack Bruce for me. Apparently i'm music savvy. That's news...

You can probably find a PDF of Bass Guitar For Dummies somewhere online. It's surprisingly detailed and covers an awful lot which will be useful.

Sorry in advance if this has been covered, but does anyone have a source for custom moulds which will take either SE215s or normal filters, depending on what is needed at the time? My son is a drummer and we all know what that can do to his ears. He has a pair of 215s but I want to get him a set of moulded plugs. If he could plop the 215s in as in-ears it would make sense for now.
TIA.

[url="https://snugsearphones.co.uk/"]Snugs[/url] do custom sleeves for SE215's. I don't think you can swap them with filters but you could always just use the SE215's as earplugs as well when needed.
My Linum Bax cable on my ACS Evolves has gone faulty at the jack end. I still don't think there's enough support on there for how thin that cable is. I'm still tempted to see if ACS will reshell them into customs for me at some point. -
Been using mine for probably about a year now. I genuinely do not leave the house without them. Pricey, but worth every penny.
-
I know people who've used Castle Cases and Flightcase Warehouse. Both seemed top quality from what i could see so i'd expect you'd be fine with either.

If you wanted to change the rest of the wiring whilst you were at it, our resident [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]KiOgon[/url] does cracking solderless wiring harnesses.

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.
