Nice!

The end of global warming.

Yeah I appreciate that. Second time though I definitely said 'unlicensed' and one fella jumped in without even looking at the box to say it was ok. Then the other guy checked and implied that would be ok to use without a license, even though it needed one, cos no one ever checks. That was all wrong. I can't remember my exact wording on my phone call, but a thorough and competent reply would have been "it's legal for UK use but you'll need a license".

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh. I've used them before with no problems, but feeling resentful' about this visit and experience! Just wanted to unload really!

Because I can get the same model from Thomann that runs on a different frequency and doesn't require a license.

On Saturday I rang PMT Northampton and reserved a Shure PSM200 iem set. I asked to check if they were all good for UK use and assured that they were. Took a train in from MK today to pick it up. I asked again if it was good for unlicensed UK use. One guy straight away said it's fine, but the fella serving me took some time to check. The frequency that it operated on needed a UK license. He checked by phone with another guy who said it needs a license but no one ever checks. I've got my deposit back and will buy elsewhere. Disgusted by their cavalier attitude and fuming that I've wasted a couple of hours of my day off. I had a browse while I was there and noticed that they've taken their prices off of everything - it's now 'check at til' Just wanted to get that off my chest - thanks for listening!

I'm about to buy a PSM 200 set . . . having seen your post, is there any particular reason I shouldn't?

I've just bought one of those combinations and in the process of persuading some of my band to do likewise!

Doesn't surprise me. I'm sure my rig would be fine for medium pubs without pa, but the other guys moan at me for being too loud on stage and prefer to pump me out the front. Probs going in ear soon but that's another thread!!

Or a single very efficient small cab. I often use mine in a five piece band and it's more than loud enough for stage monitoring without using additional monitors. For the audience it's through the PA. Barfaced Big Baby cab.

Tonight's before and after!

I remember it kicking off at a gig in Kettering while we were playing 'Riders on the Storm' . . . . play on lads - perfect!

Proper rock n roll!

We played for the Freemasons last Saturday. We had a table in the main hall with the guests and the same three course meal. Couldn't have been better looked after. Happy daze.

Don't forget to include 'food poisoning' on your risk assessment. Our keys player was out of the game for a week after sampling some prawns at s function earlier this year!

If you don't like the preamp in these, a cheap and fairly simple alternative is the Artec SE2. I've got one in mine and I love it! https://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_se2_basselektronik.htm?glp=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzJ_WlK7v3gIVIjPTCh0Y3w0jEAkYAiABEgLr4_D_BwE

I got one - love it!!
