Bought Jack's Octamizer. Arrived welled packaged and in good working order.

Thanks Jack.

Lovely! That top!

I bought Chris's Filter Twin - straight forward to deal with. Posted straight away. No problemos. Happy to trade with him anytime. 👍

Nice - so tempted to get one of these!

Thanks dude. Sooo tempted.

Man, that's lovely. What pups are on it?

Good stuff. What you gone for?

I went with your recommendation - UE6's. Really looking forward to hearing how in ear monitoring should 'really' work

Turns out my ear impressions passed QC! Didn't think they would but there must have been enough on them to make viable moulds. Made up! 3-4 week wait though. Counting down the minutes already

Had impressions done today - there may be issues. Turns out I have unusually shallow ear canals with no second bend - my ear drum are a short distance passed the first bend. I can see this being an issue. I'm going to send the impressions on but If it turns out that in ears are not an option for me, are there any closed back headphones which could be an option. I don't care if I look like a Tw~t on stage. I look like one anyway

I'm based in Liverpool but I'm just being lazy really. There's a Specsavers 5 minutes away but there's 2 hearing centers in Liverpool city centre. I think I'll just go to one of the latter and see how they work out.

Thanks for the advice both!

Thanks EBS. So, would a specialist hearing place be more likely to take a better impression then? I'm just thinking that I'd hate to shell out for a pair of UE6's and they don't fit as well as they should?

Sorry if this has been asked before; are specsavers ear moulds good enough, or are you better off going to a specialised audiologist/hearing place for custom moulds?

Tempting. Any trades at all Al? Got a couple of Volcas I'm looking to offload as well as other gear?

Love the short scale and don't mind the no knobbage at all, but the price and colour scheme don't work for me. 

Most of the music I listen to these days is instrumental as I seem to have grown less tolerant of dodgy lyrics as I've grown older. Although I've just blown the dust of the Temple of the Dog album  and man, Chris Cornell was the bomb!

As an aside, one of my favourite moments of recording is listening to the singer in isolation. With a good singer you really get a sense of the power of the voice and how much of an instrument it truly is,

Awesome - a new band with cool music to listen too. Love this. Thanks for posting!

Sweet bass! I love John's work.

All that can be done is to open the door(s...) and use a big ventilator in the doorway, blowing out. Not ideal, but it's all there is, I'd say. 

I think you're right there. That's about the best we could do - ventilators are a bit spendy though.

Dehumidifier maybe to remove moisture in the air?

Yeah one of the lads suggested this - we've decided to get back into it from next weekend. Use Dehumidifiers and wear masks, open the doors between songs and use fans to circulate the air. It's about the best we can do in the circumstance. It's either this or wait out a cure. 🙄

This is the exact reason we stopped using our rehearsal studio! It just didn't seem sensible to go into a sealed room not knowing how many people had used it prior to you. 

It's only my band's room. No-one else uses it.

Go elsewhere. It's the only practical answer.

We're hoping to avoid this scenario as we like our room.

After a hiatus since the lock down the rest of band and myself are all itching to get back into it. I dropped some gear off at our band room in the rehearsal studio this morning and it made me both happy and sad - like seeing an old friend. We're all quite safe when it comes to our everyday dealings, some of us work from home these days, and we are all careful about social distancing and wearing masks  which should help to reduce the risks.

The issue is that the room has zero ventilation. The windows were boarded up for security reasons and then treated with sound proofing. I've read that there is evidence that Covid is airborne so the lack of movement of air is not great. We were thinking of leaving the room door open and using fans but I'm not sure if our neighboring bands would appreciate that. Moving to another rehearsal studio isn't on the cards at moment.

Given the above, do any of my fellow Bass Chatting brethren have any ideas how we can approve the ventilation/minimize the risk further? I have a Skype meeting with the lads later this evening (along with virtual drinks) so any ideas would be most welcome.

Wow! Awesome disco machine!

Bought an Iron Maiden Tab book along with my new bass back in 88. First song was running free. I was chuffed to bits when I learned it and must have played it a hundred times on the spin. Makes me happy thinking back now.

Big shout out for Jeff - I sent him the wrong parcel and he offered to send it on straight away, no complaints at all - and refunded a sum I had offered to pay for inconvenience. Credit to Bass Chat!

Thanks Jeff.

Can't go wrong with either of them - both nice in different ways.

Love SR's - it's the neck and light weight in particular. Happy NBD!
