you're allowed to take a personal instrument with you on holiday if you want. Afterall you can take others things can't you? The whole contents of your motor home are possesions aren't they. I've never been checked on the way out of the uk, either tunnel of ferry -
pretty much how I did it

wow, I came to the bass after the violin too. I was 13. (1981) No lessons, I just worked it out really. I wished I'd kept up the violin now. As Reggaebass suggested, show him some stuff and see how he goes. If he's good on the violin and has good theory it's very transferable

@warwickhunt PM sent

yep look after yourself and take it slowly. I slipped a disk mid April. I still have no plans to get back to gigging. Just make sure you're fully repaired
-
Maybe a left over from Eddie Van Halen's work interesting pickup though, looks to be about the spot of a normal P bass
-
RM500 EVO II, really awesome head. Best bass sound I've ever had. I've had it since November 2018 and its brill!!
-
yes I do, the MI pro was much cheaper than the senn. I was all set to buy the Senn system but have taken a leap of faith. I do about 50 gigs a year, all mainly pubs and so far the MI Pro has been faultless. But I've used it only a handful of times as I slipped a disc a couple of months ago and cant gig atm. The MI pro was about 400 quid cheaper and someone needed to try it. The audio quality is superb I'm 8 gigs down so far, if you wait another 6 months I'll have more feedback on it

I use the sennheiser EW G4 mic system and it's awesome Your IEMs will sound excellent thru it
-
that's a beauty GLWTS -
I do one gig a year with a band with keys, 3 x guitars, bass guitar, guest acoustic player and three singers I used a ZedFX 22 which works fine, only I have IEMs. The CQ20 is smaller, takes up less room. I might even learn to record the gig etc and put different FX on different things I just want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Damn you people!! I'm going to have to buy the CQ-18 i think, if I ever get better and back to gigging!! (slipped disk) I'm a massive A&H fan and have 3 versions of the Zed-FX (small, Bigger and bigger still) I would never have thought of putting different FX on different channels, that must be a good reason to buy one!!
-
I would look at somethng by QSC. They have a great reputation and my now 10 years old K12s and subs have been faultless (new power switch put on one cab, did it myself, very easy). I have no idea if they make class D stand alone amps but worth a look turns out they do GXD 4 looks ok.
-
it looks great but come on Sting, take the clip on tuner off!!🤣

you're advice has been excellent. I am still with the first set of ks10 but I have now got the ZARS to try. I get a really great seel with comply tips. I also bought the MIpro 58 wireless based on your advice and it really rocks. Would I go back to not using IEM, as you say, not on your nelly. It has been an absolute game changer for me. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING sounds better. I sing better, I play better, therefore the audience get a better performance. I dont bash 7 bells out of my bass to hear it above all the other racket and I love my bass sound thru my IEMs, tight, fat...epic

original painting Fender jazz bass 1974 (January)
police squad replied to IosuBass's topic in General Discussion
1974 would be Poly I would just leave it as it is, I like that kind of finish -
I bought this from DV247 FBSS610 Short-Scale Bass Gig-Bag (Black) it was 31 quid. It's not the heaviest duty thing, but my gear only goes in and out of my car, so it's ok for me Andertons have them at 38 quid GAK have something at 30 quid

I've got a fender one, its a perfect fit so they do exist
-
Over the years I've had some pretty special basses, Mansons, JayDee, Hamer, Steinberger, Rics. All fabulous bits of kit but I discovered that Precisions were my thing. I've had a fair few of them too. I cant believe the price of new USA or even Mexican Fenders these days but my JMJ is a really lovely bass But I have a HB PB50 and am blown away by it. I rolled the fingerboard edges and that's it. Horses for corses an all that

It actually amazes me that singers don't own a PA of their own or anyone else that doesn't own their own kit. I'm probably very lucky in the fact I've played with people who are totally self sufficient. Their gear works and they have spares etc. It's not rocket science is it? At my age, 56, I simply wouldn't put up with it, doesn't matter how good they are I have a decent QSC PA and for one gig a year, I bring the full rig for the benefit of the band. 3 guitarists, all miked up, Drummer brings own mics and leads. Guitarists bring their own vocal mics and leads (one even brings his own mic for his guitar too) I'm the only one in this band that has gone IEM. For me it sounds awesome because I can hear everything perfectly. It's their loss lol
-
I have no idea!! I literally just turned it on, worked out how to go mono or stereo (in my duo with backing tracks, I listen to the out front sound thru the headphone socket on the desk) and you have to 'lock' the frequency/channel. Otherwise its too easy to change it by mistake when clipping the reciver to your belt etc. I've used it on a handful of gigs but did my back 6 weeks ago and haven't touched anything since
-
I have recently started using the MI Pro 58 and I can say that it is really great. The only downside is , if I clip the receiver pack to my belt, my shirt alters the volume. I havent tried clipping it upside down. So I usually clip it to me back pocket. It's small and very light. Audio quality is first class. I have KZ pro 'something' which I like. I get a great bass sound but I have another set to try but I have a slipped disk and really can't be bothered atm. But when I'm back at it, I'll defo give em a try

I've had a couple of Trace Elliots. First gigging amp was AH150 Mk V thru a 4x12 marshall bass cab. It did the job but I couldnt afford anything else for a few years and stuck with it till the Marshall Jubilee I used a Marshall jubilee 300 for a good few years and it was quite good , better than the previous TE Then after some cobbled together valve pre amp and power amps settled on a Hartke HA3500. Superb workhorse of an amp (I bought another recently) Best onstage sound was at a festival in Dover, full Ampeg SVT rig. I just plugged in my bass and it sounded wonderful. Ampef PF500 for a while and I'm very settled with my Ashdown RM500 Evo II. It makes the noise I like to hear. Will be trying the Ashdown Pro-Di when I can get back to gigging (slipped disc) staright into the desk, no backline. So ATM top 3 #1 Full fat ampeg SVT rig (but there's no chance I'll lug it about #2 Defo My Ashdown RM500 EVO II #3 Ampeg PF500

I really like the matt black guard against the shiny body. Very cool
-
I always do this. New toy, get it out there. It's the only way I can tell if I'm going to bond with it. You can plug it in and sit with it all day, but the proof is in the pudding on a gig
