    I saw Kip Winger using one when they supporting the Scorpians about 1991/2. it seemed to work well
  2. police squad
    i used one in the early 90s for a while. It was great. would I use one again? Not sure, although I noticed Sting was using one in the vegas shows

    I've owned this old P bass for 34 years this summer but have only gigged it once in probably 6 or 7 years. It's still my favourite bass but I (like Lozz) have gone JMJ Mustang due to neck/shoulder issues. It hangs on the wall in my studio

    The pickup in my PB-50 is excellent. I get an awesome sound from it. The tuners feel a bit flimsy and stiff in places but they hold their tune perfectly I may but another one and refinish it to a 50s Fender sunburst with no red in it. But there's no rush
  5. police squad
    I agree. I gigged my PB-50 10 days ago. I honestly didn't think about it at all. It's superb. It's just mad

    we use iZettle at work. I had a customer that owed nearly £10K who insisted he could pay if we took a card. I spent 35 quid IIRC on the iZettle thing and he paid straight away. It cost us some fees but otherwise I didn't have much choice we still use it now. It's very good
  7. police squad
    perfect thank you
  8. police squad
    yes I meant CQ20. They're bound to come up with something
  9. police squad
    interesting mate, thanks. Can this be done with an Allen & Heath sq20 I wonder. If I change desk it will be to the SQ20
  10. police squad
    can you explain please?
  11. police squad
    yes I read about your struggle to get a fit. I'm lucky enough that the comply foam tips work well for me. In my duo I just have the headphone mix, which gives me the outfront sound, this is great for my vocals and I can be more dynamic, knowing where my voice sits in the mix. My Police gig the other night, also used the headphone mix, again it sounded really nice but I was the only IEM in theband. Now they're going to try it, their QSC desk has 4 aux outs and they can do personal mix via smartphone. It'll be nice to use their desk next time, knowing that it can be done on the phone, with the compression safety thing dialled in There's no protection on my analogue A&H desks but I'm considering going A&H SQ20b in the near future

    it's amazing isn't it. Once you go IEM there is no going back. It was a pleasure to fo my Police gig the other night, with a perfect mix going to my ears. It makes singing so much easier. I shall send all this info to the chaps so they can get themselves sorted Thanks mate

    @dave_bass5 were you running a silent stage whilst using the B5. Im wondering if all the band coming through it as well as seperate monitor mixes will sound weird
  14. police squad
    lol, that should work nicely, thanks
  15. police squad
    ah ok cool. My Police tribute is about to go IEM (I already am) but the guys also play in a great covers band that doesn't have a setlist. They obviously need to communicate between numbers, the drummer doesnt sing, so doesnt have a mic
  16. police squad
    I'm doing it so the players can talk between songs and still hear each other. You are quite closed off with IEMs
  17. police squad
    perfect, that's what I was looking for did you have it on a footswitch, to turn it on when speaking and off when playing
  18. police squad
    forgive me for this request Somewhere in this thread there is someting about using an ambient mic so that band members could converse between songs It was some sort of Behringer, could someone let me know which one please thanks
  19. police squad
    I'm out mate. My wife thought the singer was a Tw@t and so did another mate. I should have listened to them
  20. police squad
    band bought gear always creates a problem somewhere down the line But going IEM has changed my world. I simply use the headphone socket on most gigs and can hear what I need I am thinking to buy a new Allen and Heath CQ20 desk though. Read the IEM thread on this site and you'll find lots of useful info
  21. police squad
    Agreed Lozz, I'm out of there, permanantly
  22. police squad
    if it was my band......................
  23. police squad
    no deps atm. The band had a solid line up
  24. police squad
    So I'm in this band, we've done one (sold out) show. The drummer (lovely guy) isn't quite good enough. Singer wants to bring a drummer in from one of his other bands and the bass player. Ths leaves me as a dep and the band leader was flannelling me about it, 'we need to get the other girl fronted show going and the blues rock thing' and 'we need a pool of players and deps' This is why I gave up chasing the dream 30 years ago. Too much bull ship for me I actually thought me and the band leader were friends I'm actually very disappointed in it all. But I still have my other bands and now I have some more free dates as I won't be doing any of the booked shows

    I have the HB PB-50. After a little set up (filed the nut, rolled the fingerboard edges) it's awesome. It's my main bass in my Police Tribute band. Stcok Roswell pickup. Machine heads feel cheap but they hold tune perfectly. So far I've done two gigs with it with a third coming up this weekend. I'm really pleased with it
