Ooo nice, what have you got coming?

10 months later the bass has finally arrived... Overwater J5 Contemporary Figured Maple Top Ebony Fretboard Abalone Inlays Black/Grey Burst - Comes out more purple in photos Can't wait to plug it in later!

First night gigging with the UE6... They certainly didn't fail to impress.. They're extremely comfortable and there's no movement whatsoever on stage once they're in. Excellent seal and I barely noticed them in. I was using KZ ZS10 Pro before which used to slip out in my ear and move around a lot. In terms of sound the biggest difference I noticed coming from universal KZs is the clarity. I could hear every instrument perfectly and the seperation between everything was excellent. Bass was not overpowering or boomy and had just the right amount of low end. I panned both our lead vocals L/R and they sounded very crisp and clear. I was hearing parts of music on our tracks that I never even knew existed. All in all I'm very glad I made the move to customs and I'd highly recommend the UE6 to anyone wanting a superb sound. Thanks again for the recommendation @EBS_freak

My UE6 Customs arrived this morning. Extremely comfortable and great seal, the left is a bit fiddly and I have to stretch my ear for it to fit. Once it's in the fine so maybe I'll just live with it. Played along to some music at home and the clarity is excellent. Bass is very clear and not muddy in the slightest. I'll be testing them out at tonight's gig with the band but so far very impressed!

Recently seen these basses online and they look very good value for money and sound great. I'm just wondering how they stack up against other custom UK luthiers like Sei, Overwater, Shuker etc. I particularly like the look of the Ultra J - Essense Series. Any experience? https://www.anacondabasses.co.uk/Basses/ultra-j5---essence

Any recommendations on extension cables for live use please? Will spending extra on something like these be worth it to retain sound quality? I'll probably need 3m-4m... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Van-Damme-IEM-Extension-Lead-IN-EAR-MONITORING-Stereo-3-5mm-Headphone-Cable-/162372313321?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neutrik-3-5mm-Stereo-Jack-Headphone-Extension-Cable-PRO-Male-to-Female-TRS-Lead-/281829039560?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

With custom IEM (UE6) Do you tend to use foam ear tips or are the ones supplied best for purpose? I switched to memory foam on my KZs and preferred it for better isolation.

Same. We use the 732As with 8003 II sub. Plenty of volume 🙂

What does everyone think of these?🙂 Maybe an upgrade from Art-7 Series

With gigs returning I've finally pulled the trigger on the Ultimate Ears UE6's. Good timing too as they're offering an additional 3 x pairs of faceplates for free worth £190 🙂 My budget couldn't stretch any further and the UE6 seem to be the best bang for buck in this price range. Looking forward to the step up from my kzs!
