    I used SM58s for years, then ten years ago was offered 3 Beta 58s for not much money, but 3 years ago I switched to a wireless 945, which I absolutely love. The SM and Betas still lurk in my set up, if I'm doing a PA for someone else (Once a year I do this) I went 945 on EBS_freak's recommendation (and the choice of wireless too)

    I used to gig using a variax JTV59. This is battery powered but by using the Line 6 A/B box (it sends the output to an XLR for acoustic sounds or jack for the electric sounds) and a TRS lead, it sends power to the guitar via the stereo jack You need to remeber here, the A/B box isn't standard, it sends power up the TRS lead Using this idea, it mus be fairly simple to power an active bass this way

    Bought a set of La Bella mustang flats from Chris. Easy and pleasant transaction. Great comms. Thanks Chris

    I would ask the Ashdown boys for advice

    great aren't they

    agreed. My touring Americana band leader is talking to a contact at Sennheiser about using their gear. Ultimately I'll go that way I think.

    does that mean, 'don't bother, it's not very good'

    looks like quite a good idea, I only have an ipad for backing tracks and lyrics. It would probably work. I might look into it

    thanks for that info, I did think that would be the case. I'll get me copper foil ordered
  16. police squad
    so the copper foil needs to touch the silver control plate. No soldering of wires to earth on say, the volume pot?
  17. police squad
    yep, I've seen that, not sure how I'll do it yet
  18. police squad
    I should probably shield mine, it is my main gigging bass now and I have some theatre shows lined up and wouldn't want any grief.# Will look up how to shield properly

    There's one on ebay in London. I bought my wife's one from Japan via ebay. It was a few years ago. I'm amazed that they've gone up in price so much
  22. police squad
    yep you're done for. My favourite bass of all time I think
  23. police squad
    I use to use one of the variax guitars live. The JTV59. I used the acoustic 12 string and 6 string, direct into the pa and also the out of phase strat sounds were very good too. It also has normal pickups and I used them too. Never tried the bass but that demo is very good, the lack of sustain on the hofner bass is strange, sounds a tad choked in isolation but very good otherwise (pops over to ebay for a look)
  24. police squad
    and strangely I put a long scale set of RS66 45-105 on my wife's old mustang and it felt rubbish. I will try other strings at some point, it is great to read other people's feedback
  25. police squad
    weird isn't it, I love the stock flats so much I put a set on one of my P basses
