I can understand your purchase, as you say, “no one ever got fired for buying” happens in every industry. I was in broadcast video for a while and it was Sony, anything Sony. Is the SM58 the best live vocal mic for live work? IMHO no but it is perfectly usable, robust and spares are easily obtained. I think the problem is that some people think that the SM58 is the mic that makes them sing well. No mic can do that. When it was introduced, there were few mics around suitable for live performance and it was the best. It is still probably the best seller and that means Shure can keep the price high. In my band we have SM58 (singer) Behringer X8500 ( lead guirarist), Sennheiser 935 (rhythm fatalist) and Sontronics Slolo (me). All are more than acceptable, especially with the right EQ.

Sadly it was the late 60s so I had no knowledge of the complexities of speaker design of concepts. It was a heavy 12” 100 watt speaker with a quoted sensitivity of 100dB, at a time when most 12s were 25/30 watts so at least 3-4 time better innit. 😉 Honestly it did sound loud

Why do you get grief? Admittedly there are microphones that others prefer but the SM58 is not a bad mic.

What could you do if your mixer does not ( yet) have pre-delay. Is there anything else you can do?

This is not the Wordle thread!

Of would be a dull old world if we all liked the same thing.

Dual mono, meaning different instruments/voices on R and L? So base on the left and everything else on the right?

I use IGY to audition speakers.

I think the antics of Dave Hill and the deliberate misspelling of the song titles are either considered great or childish. I think it was wise for Noddy not to join AC/DC. I love them, but they had less variation than Status Quo, whereas some of Slade's album tracks were varied and well constructed. Some of Jim Lea's bass lines were ludicrous, going all over the place, but I love them.

Sladest. It used to infuriate me that Planet Rock would play US covers of Slade and the Kinks but never the originals. That has changed but I wonder how people would think about Slade if they were from the States?

The Crescendo was aluminium, not coated. The drawback was that the dust cap would eventually crack. Mine were repaired with epoxy resin, no idea how that altered the sound. I could not hear it but it must have added mass to the dust cab. They sounded glorious to my ears but in those days we had few reference points. I did put them plus the home made seals cabinets (my dad was a carpenter and they looked fantastic) kingside some big JBL cabs at an open air free concert in Slough. It was on the site of the Ice Rink at Montem for those that know the area. There were loads of bands playing but headlining were Slade. What a day!

Perfectly described.

Yes you can go in, see and adjust settings and the only thing to beware of is being too aggressive with the compressor or with the Parametric EQ.* Both can cause early onset feedback. You can select either complete band reset or individual channel presets. * you can also select Quick Setup that will give you a typical Bass Mid, Treble type tone three knob adjustment for those migrating from an analogue desk,. I will put it on later and dive in more.

I did hear that the Bass designer was ex Trace and Peavey. I would like to try the Unity700H but they are out of stock at Absolute Music, my store.

I have only true the vocals and bass presets but both were more than OK. I did add some chorus to the bass and it was nice.

I might as well kick this off. I was just playing with my mixer (CQ20) at home and ha a play around with the presets. Set flat, the sound with my voice was meh. Using of the presets, my voice sounded a lot more acceptable. In fact, I was really chuffed at how good it sounded.

Sorry for the delay, but I have had no gigs or rehearsals of late. We have one on Sunday.

Mods = can you move this to the PA sub thread

Not in a live situation though.

The Aerodyne was introduced/announced in 2002 but main production started in 2003 from memory. The original AJ-B65 is shown in my Avatar. Although called an AJB Aerodyne Jazz Bass. It was a P/J and the traditional P and J configuration versions were produced later. The red one shown is one of the earlier production with the later ones being fitted with Stratocaster input jack fittings.

It all depends on you point of view. Many of the basses seem reasonably priced, others like the Westone Thunder II is probably close to twice its market value BUT they are sought after. I would love one but not at that price.

I don't think you can retro fit those, the truss rod/neck is made that way. If you think about it, the fixed part of the truss rod is as the body end of the neck

Electrons move, Neutrons just hang around waiting for an Electron to come along🌩️

Don’t bother, a sub will likely just add mud to your sound.

Aluminium dust cap was used in the late 60s by Fane on the original crescendo drivers and it did indeed extend the response considerably.
