  1. Having used a very cheap Lekato 2.4 wireless, which dropped out a little the last gig I did, I have now plumped for the MIPRO MI58 set up I've read some really good reviews and I'm hoping it will serve me well. I'm not going to be using it at festivals, just my pub gigs
  2. I saw Kip Winger using one when they supporting the Scorpians about 1991/2. it seemed to work well
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. interesting mate, thanks. Can this be done with an Allen & Heath sq20 I wonder. If I change desk it will be to the SQ20
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. @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
  12. 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
  13. I'm doing it so the players can talk between songs and still hear each other. You are quite closed off with IEMs
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. I'm out mate. My wife thought the singer was a Tw@t and so did another mate. I should have listened to them
  17. 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
  18. Agreed Lozz, I'm out of there, permanantly
  19. if it was my band......................
  20. no deps atm. The band had a solid line up
