[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484907049' post='3219523'] ACS Live systen on the cheap! [/quote] Exactly my plan. I've actually a super brilliant idea for a gadget that I think would be of interest to a lot of people not being able to shell out on such a system but also have added flexibility that the ACS Live system doesn't have. (That's not saying that the ACS lacks anything of course!)

[quote name='simon_says' timestamp='1484905771' post='3219507'] What a great idea! {snip} Great result all round! [/quote] Excellent! I'm really pleased! It's an idea I've had and not really had a chance to try out for ages. I'm yet to get an H1 but certainly the results with my Q8 (and old Q3HD) were very good. Zoom's stereo audio handheld recorders and cameras are pretty ace across the board but I think this simple 'hack' has me totally sold even if it is not really what the device was designed for. I guess I should do a video when I get mine! Dan

Gotoh GBR640 Res-O-LiteTuners ***SOLD***

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1484775058' post='3218415'] Have to say these are the mutts! GLWTS [/quote] Could well be the best tuning keys I've ever had on a bass actually. I still can't get my head round how they run so much smoother than a standard key AND weigh nothing. Neck dive turned in to a thing of the past! -

Why not go the whole hog and have a separate neck for each string!

I have a set of (used) reverse tuning keys of the ultra-light variety from Gotoh. Genuinely amazed at how light these are! They are going spare thus I am offering them up including mainland postage for £90. I've knocked the price down a little as I don't have the full 16 screws or the ferrules for the keys as the are in another instrument. That said, most people upgrading using the existing mounts and they are pretty cheap to buy anyway. Grab a bargain! Oh - these are REVERSE turning versions for that added bit of vintage vibe, they look exactly like 'the originals' without the weight. Not my picture, but look the same!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1484595618' post='3216695'] I've just put my order in with the exceptional Jon Shuker of ShukerGuitars.co.uk as I have a 70's neck that needs mating with a body. The 'John Deacon' tribute (80-85 period) will be coming together courtesy of the fine hands of Jon. Alder, natural and a quality finish that will allow the body to resonate! [/quote] I may part with the bass pictured earlier when the new one arrives, we shall see!

[quote name='Shambo' timestamp='1482663683' post='3202129'] Could anybody recommend a UK luthier to supply a 70's style, natural P-Bass body finished with a 'vintage tint'? Nothing 'coffee table' fancy, alder or swamp ash, not too heavy and not too valuable?

I remember them being featured in Guitarist Magazine years ago. There's a Stratocaster version too!

[quote name='la bam' timestamp='1483450712' post='3207189'] One of the big problems is that live music in pubs hasn't moved with the times. [/quote] and venues are still paying the same as they did when i first started gigging in them.

Ok, I've been searching the internet for info' and indeed it does appear that these crossovers are only a high-pass filter for the tweeter to filter out the lows. The woofer isn't affected and thus no, you are unlikely to notice any difference bypassing the crossover. For now, just pop the other cabinet with the working tweeter on top of the one without and that pretty much equals the sound of a DB212
-
I'm not familiar with this cabinet's crossover, but I've seen many where the woofer driver isn't even affected by the crossover. It is purely there to serve the tweeter. So, it may be that you are getting everything you can through the driver already.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1484416909' post='3215362'] Leave it and see how it goes. The effect might be barely noticeable. [/quote] Again, this I switch between those gauges when I fancy and agree, there's very little change - nothing that will cause any problems unless you have the lowest of low-low actions to begin with.

[quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1484304905' post='3214471'] I use a Zoom H1 to record our rehearsals all the time, I've never thought about popping some IEM's into the headphones out. I will get myself a decent set of IEM's and try that out next week, thanks for the tip. [/quote] [quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1484305841' post='3214486'] What a great great idea using the Zoom headphones out. Never thought of that and Ive got IEM's just sitting in my guitar case! Ive got an AC moulded earplug at -15DB but I just dont get on with them and everything sounds muffled to me (although I put them in later in the rehersal rather than at the beginning which may be the problem) so will try the "zoom soloution" - Thanks! [/quote] No problem at all! I stumbled upon the idea a while back when I was monitoring off my Q8 camera. The H1 is incredible as it can easily take the full volume of a band without distorting AND gives a brilliant high quality stereo image from the dual microphones. The feed from the camera could go in to the band's IEM mix I suppose too, but for a stand alone set up, the H1 is small enough that it could be attached to a stand and then have a cable run up to your ears directly - I'd probably run a longer cable and my super Fischer Amps 'Stick' headphone amp to keep things tidy and have more control over the ambient level going to my lug-oles. I'm using 64 Audio's A8 in-ear monitors that do a very good job of sounding natural - any excuse to use them as much as possible!! Dan

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1484257297' post='3214193'] Not always on eBay, sadly they are now so biased towards the buyer that selling on there is a risk and I have stopped for that reason. Hopefully the OP will be ok in this as he is completely in the right. [/quote] Yes me too! - I won't sell on eBay any more after buyers 'trying it on'. I'd rather sell to the awesome people of BassChat.

It can help, but channeling everything in to mono could actually make things worse. I'd suggest using a stereo mic of some sort feeding in to your IEM channel to get a better more coherent version of what is going on in the room. I'm going to try out a Zoom H1 handheld recorder for such a job actually. Even though it is a recorder, it has a line out direct from the stereo microphone elements that could be fed in to the IEM signal path. I've tested the theory with my Zoom Q8 camera and that seems to work very well, but don't want to take a big camera out all the time just to use the audio line out. Oh and the band won't turn down? If it's causing problems for your hearing, then it's most certainly doing the same for theirs too. Seems odd they aren't fussed about damaging the only set of ears they'll ever have!
