I’ve seen him live at the Pizza Express Jazz Club playing with some class acts. His brother Greg is a top drummer too! Check this out -
James is a super nice bloke to deal with and he was good enough to sell me back my Spector NS5H2 which I foolishly sold in 2021 via Bass Direct !!! Thank you James - it was great meeting you. Hope it won’t be the last time.

My trick to see left from right is a little blob of tippex (remember that!!!) on the left one! My personal preference are the silicone tips….
-
Reading this thread I’m starting to feel rather grateful that we mostly do more recent stuff, y’know like “make room”, “holy forever”, “he lives” etc… 😇 (although I luckily get to do the old hymns when I playing the organ for the local Anglican once a month) - the best of both worlds !!

A very happy KZ user here. Had mine about 4 years with no issues apart from replacing the cable after 2 years of being twisted all over the place. I plug it into a 3m extension cable to give me more room to move around! interested in the foam v silicone debate as I’ve always much preferred silicone and couldn’t get on with fiddling with foam. Took a while to get the right size/fit though. As others have said a good snug fit transforms the sound for bass. No distortion using my 5 string basses👍🏻

…………..Isn’t the bass supposed to “overpower the band” 😂😂 or is it just me! Seriously though that is a lovely instrument - GLWTS 👍🏻 -
Absolute bargain!! Shame it’s got a string missing 😂 GLWTS -
That looks lovely and a deceptively simple set up. Ive just had to replace 2 machine heads on my 2006 Dirty Blonde as the mechanisms sheared. Couldn’t have it happen a 3rd time so replaced all 5! Great that so many original parts are available!

I’m thankful in our church that if you aren’t there at Thursday rehearsal you don’t play on the Sunday - end of.
-
Great choice - love mine !! If they’re well “seated” the bass response is top notch!
-
Yep - gotta be careful with those IEMs !! Hope your ears are recovering ! Mine are great for the 5 string but you need a really snug fit. They’re quite cheap, y’know the Kz ZS10 things.
-
Oh no ! Not again - I thought the torture had gone away 😂. Seriously though, that is a fab bit of Warwick wonderfulness!! GLTWS -
Fender USA Precision Bass V, Reduced - £900 - *WITHDRAWN*
Risk101 replied to Grav's topic in Basses For Sale
Sorry to hear the reason for the sale 🥲 Precision 5ers are relatively few and far between so hopefully you’ll get a taker quite quickly GLWTS -
I think your collection needs a couple of 5ers !!!

Good heavens - what is that Trace rig? Surely that will blast folk out of the balcony 😂😂

Maybe he didn’t want to make an Ass of himself?!?

Very interesting thanks for sharing. Usually the whole point of IEM is he reduce the level of sound from the stage monitors. Before we moved to IEM the stage volume, was so high, the front of house PA was almost pointless!! Moving to IEM Has dramatically reduced the stage volume and we also now benefit from a click track. Maybe the OP drama is very light touch because I have no difficulty hearing any of the drum kit, even with my IEM in 😂😂 all that said, the real beauty for the musicians is that we each control our own IEM through iPads and an MD can cue where we’re going - “to the bridge” !! The worship leader, who also plays acoustic generally prefers not to use IEM realise on a wedge monitor. It all took quite a bit of time to get used to, and luckily I’ve also managed to retain my Bass head and speaker which allows you to “feel” the Bass😂 as well - a bit like having one of those floor pad thingies!
-
I’m familiar with “Get Lucky” but hadn’t listened to the rest of the album until it was mentioned here - there’s a couple of other tracks on there that I really like. Some weird stuff too !!
-
These are exactly what we use in our church - nice affordable piece of kit. I had my own (to go with my KZs) but later the church bought the P1 for everyone, and as the OP said, its then up to the individuals to get their own in-ears which I think is fair. As I always worry about battery failure, I got the mains adapter for mine, and it sits on the amp head, and then I connect a 3m mini-jack extension so I can wander about whilst playng. On more than one occasion I've walked off stage forgetting I'm connected and had a bit of yank !!!
-
+1 for the KZ ZS10 Great bass response provided you’ve got a really snug fit of the tip (they come with several sizes).We also control our own IEM mix using iPads.
-
Lovely! You could sell one of those USA Cirrus to get money for the cab - just sayin Meanwhile GLWTS !! -
ON HOLD. Music Man StingRay5 Special Bass, Raspberry Burst - *SOLD*
Risk101 replied to jonunders's topic in Basses For Sale
Beautiful bass and I can quite understand the original purchase “rationale”. Must have been a very tough time to say the very least. GLWTS -
Ooh thanks very much. I might give that a try. At the moment I’m stuck at Midi-Ox saying “no devices connected”! ordered a new USB lead in case that’s the issue…..
-
Love these basses - 35” scale I think? whats the weight & string spacing? -
Yep so definitely needs something more than just the USB cable 🤣 There is a link on the Sweetwiter site to "Midioxse" https://www.sweetwiter.com/sweetcare/articles/how-do-i-send-and-receive-sysex-on-pc-or-mac/ as part of this article which looked promising, but my PC/McAfee says the site is not secure, so I'm a bit dubious about running the Exe file !! All a bit frustrating as I'm not an IT numptee but then neither am I an IT wizard - hang on a minute my son in law is an IT Manager for a big company - I will ask him !! For now, I'm putting the Moog back on the shelf for toinght (the USB cable does reach the PC with it in its place!!), although I'm chuffed that I sorted out a pitch-wheel malfunction using the system utilities menu - all working fine now !
