As will be the vocals. The bloke can hardly talk, let alone sing. At his age there is no way he will suddenly start to sing in tune 🤔 Saw Sabbath the Dio was fronting them (Heaven and Hell), what a difference.
-
Thanks but im sure I’ll get a reply back via FB in a day or so. -
Considering they have an email address on their website that doesn't work, id say they are very laid back 😂 I noticed i have had communication from them via FB messenger before so hopefully I'll get a response soon. I can live without my IEM's for a few weeks, as I can use my singers IE100's if I need to. Hmm, maybe I could just go back to the IE100's if it's a stock item they have.
-
Well I did email them using the link on their website and the email bounced back as address not found. I'll try via FB.
-
Cheers. did you have to send your IEM’s in? I looked on his website and they aren't listed. The IE 400 is a bit different to the IE100 (i have both), although still in the same ballpark size wise. Once i get my ears done I’ll get a bit more serious about it.
-
Wow, thanks for the write up Phil. Im happy with the foam tips i use with my IE400’s, but this could be an upgrade i can actually afford and wont lose my IE400’s. Like you say, just going ‘Custom’ can be as varied as buying off the shelf for some. This is what has put me off, as i like what i hear already, but could do with it being a bit easier to get them in the ear so they sit well. I’ll definitely be looking in to this option in a month or so. Need to sort out the ear fitting first.

Surely its only a rip off if you get ripped off?
-
Haha. I’ve still got a mirror one from the 80’s in a drawer somewhere. Been tempted to put it on my current Fender P.
-
Yeah, thats how mine arrived. Hated the white pick guard but other than that a lovely looking bass.
-
I have no idea of the spec now. I got it early 2009, via the Bass Gallery, and yeah, it was a bit heavy compared to my other basses, but on as heavy as the one you tried IIR. I never had any issues with the weight and it was a really nice player, but too warm for me back then. This is how it ended up before i sold it on here. I did see it re sold on here a few years back.
-
Not so much hate, as never really liked. I ordered a Lakland DJ5 years ago. I love Lakland basses and wanted a decent jazz. it's also the most expensive bass ive owned. I couldn't try one but didnt think I needed to. When it arrived I couldn't wait to gig in. In fact the gig was that night. It played like dream, but the sound was (to my ears) awful. Quite soft and muddy (or warm)) compared to my Squier CV Jazz. After a few month is really could take any more, so got it converted in to a PJ at the Gallery. They did a great job, but it still had that warm tone above it, even though the pups had been complete changed. I ended up selling it shortly after.

If they have a Facebook page, post on that. I find doing this gets results a lot faster than emailing them etc, especially if it's a negative post.
-
I had a thumper and a trad years ago. Ill be honest and say i didn’t think either was anything special. I’d say the same about the Fralins I’ve had as well, although they did seem to have a bit more life to them.
-
Anyone bought from Thomann recently? Experience?
dave_bass5 replied to Twigman's topic in General Discussion
Ive ordered a few things recently, as others have said, there is a back hole in the tracking where the item sits at customs. I do find I still get the items within 4 days, depending when I order. I do try and order on a Monday so I get the time that week. Weekend orders seem to take an extra day. -
Oh right, sorry, miss read the first post. In that case the DI all the way. Having the Mid knob and Blend are, in my opinion, very useful. It’s a much more versatile box.
-
My old band used to put a rope light around the playing area if we were on the floor. Not sure how much it helped but we would quite often see people not step in to our area but walk around it.
-
Been there many times with these two. The last time was last year when i re purchased both, but ended up with just keeping my old BDi-21. Over the years ive loved the BDDI ( especially the MKII), but also the VTBas DI. I always ended up keeping thr BDDI. I couldn’t believe how much the Sansamp stuff has gone up over the last 5-6 years. Id look on YT as there are quite a few comparison videos.
-
It's funny but at every gig I have this issue (to a certain extent) and never seem to look in to it between gigs. This thread has reminded me I need to, so I'll sort it out this weekend as I have no gigs. Im thinking maybe even hooking it to my belt upside down might work.
-
Yeah, i always end up getting the volume going down and thinking there is an issue with the receiver. I guess if i had it on my right side then at least it would go up. Shame there isn’t something like a push in brake for it. I paid just under £300 for my 2.4 version and im not i could afford £500 for peach of mind at this point. I’ve done maybe 20 gigs with it now and not had any issues.
-
I wish Thomanns would do a 5.8 version. I have their 2.4 version of the MiPro 2.4 and not had a single issue with it, at least as far as connectivity and sound quality goes, but i know one day it might happen. The issue i do have is i keep knocking the volume knob on the receiver. Obviously i need to reposition the belt pack but it’s become quite annoying.
-
Good advice, although ive been weary of using more cables than necessary when playing live. I feel safer running off the internal drive, just incase the cable gets knocked out or jolted etc. At home I have all my DAW/Lightroom etc on SSD, but live its all self contained.
-
No, that was just an example, i know you didn’t change your phone. Something working fine and then the user changes to something that doesnt work is going to be tricky to resolve IME. im not blaming you, we have all done things like this, but had you not made the decision to change something then you would still be up and running. Had you brought the guitar and found you could not use it then of course you would return it. And of course Andertons can’t re write the code to make things work again, which is why i said it’s a manufacturer issue, although of course your sales agreement is with Andertons and they have to deal with you. Im just trying to see it from a different perspective.
-
But isn’t that on the person buying the item to ensure they have a suitable device to use with it? isn’t it like they state you need an apple device and you do, but then change to Android and want your money back. Obviously that’s just an example but does that mean at some point in the future i could expect to give it back to shop. i noticed Anderson’s dont state what app version etc is needed, but as the owner had the correct device and then changed it is it really on the shop? Id say this is a manufacturer issue.
-
Ive always been one to do updates as soon as they come out, but since i started to use my MacBook as my main instrument im now very careful. As you say, it seems to be the plugins rather than main apps that are slow to get updated. i do have iOS betas on all my other Apple devices though 😂
-
I dont think Anderson's have any blame here, although I guess they might help out. You updated your phone without checking (easily done of course). The guitar hasn't become faulty, it's the app, and that's not on Anderson's as they sold you the gear and you had it working. If others can still use it then I can't see how it's not fit for purpose in general. Good luck either way. You cold get a cheap phone to work with this, but I guess it's more a principle thing than actually wanting to get it working now.
