Best guess is that the first 'digit' is actually the letter 'I', which would make it an 89-90 model.  Looks like some wear on the numbering and guessing it's 023390?

You could put it on a shelf - but the Sennheiser mounting kit is really good and probably worth the money.

As it happens, I've just found a used kit online!

Cheers

Hi all,

Im looking to rackmount my Sennheiser IEM receiver and I see the official kit is 40 odd quid (and that's before getting antenna cabling).  Anyone here found a cheaper alternative or have made their own? 

Cheers

Hmm, makes me wonder about the powersupply polluting the audio out - very prevalent with USB power or if there is a laptop as the noise from the switchmode PS can get into unshielded signals. Worth unplugging everything and checking 1 by 1 as you plug back in.

I didn't know that was even a thing, thanks for pointing out! I'll try experimenting and see how we get on 👍

I tried different channels and the noise followed whichever the drums were plugged into.   My buddy hadn't tried the headphone port as he was using a feed from the mixer to in-ears. I'll find out if the noise was replicated there - I think it was.  

The noise wasn't dependent on particular triggers or kit presets either. It's rather odd; the noise was very much 'white noise' as opposed to ground hum or the sort of whine you get in a noisy gain-filled circuit.  I'll investigate further at the weekend....

Drum kit belongs to my buddy so we can test out again at his place.  It was definitely the drums as the problem went away when the channel was muted.  I removed the guitar feed from the mixer to see if that made a difference but no luck.  I never tried unplugging the pedalboard from the wall which in retrospect, I should have thought about.  

Yes, this is the issue with electronic kit - lots of control but more things to go wrong!  Will see how we get on with another session .. 

Hi all,

I know several on here use the Behringer XR18 so I thought I'd open this up to see if anyone can advise on an issue I encountered:

4 piece band rehearsing this weekend with 3 mics, guitar DI and Roland electronic drums going into the XR18.  First day, no problems at all.  Next day in the same room, same setup (aside from additional pedalboard), there was frequently some horrendous white noise that seemed to come from the drum kit.  I tried changing channels, cables, gain staging on the drum brain and in the mixer but to no avail.  Sometimes there would be several minutes with no issues, then it would become constant or almost constant with occasional flickering.  We also restarted both the drum kit and mixer.
I thought there could be some sort of RF interference or problem with the mains supply but I don't think the rehearsal room had anything else running differently within the building. The only difference in setup, as mentioned, was an extra pedalboard supply plugged into a different socket within the room on the second day. I also tried plugging the drum kit into another power socket but that made no difference.  
Has anyone else encountered this problem at all? I'm a bit stumped as I tried everything I could think of to solve it. I'm no expert but I have had at least some practice with the mixer so I know enough to get by.

Thanks

No sound on or off means that the problem will be to do with the 'off board' wiring rather than the pedal circuitry itself, so probably not too tricky to solve. 

I'd open it up and check if any wiring to the jacks or footswitch look unusual with loose connections.   

Sold my amp to Nigel last week - good Comms, very friendly and all sorted with no hassle. Cheers!

I'll look into that!

Head to here and scroll down to my post from Dec 2020. photo of the result and the stuff I used:

Very liberal, a couple of sprays per fret?! I know someone on here has done it (@kevin_lindsay?) and their's looked much darker in the photos. I'm going to leave it overnight and see how it goes (gf won't be happy the table is out of action!).

I used rosewood coloured furniture oil with a sponge and then a light application of lemon oil once that had dried.  Came up a treat. Worth thinking about if the lemon oil alone doesn't work.

Ref later point about the tuners - if this is a Vintera then the tuners are Hipshot, yes.

Is this still available?

It is indeed.

Well spotted, thanks! Title amended, clearly having a senior moment.

Hi all,

Selling my second Stomp as I have recently been making some pedals and I don't really need two of these for guitar and bass rigs. 

This is in mint condition (velcro on base), with original packaging and includes a Mosky switch plus stereo cable (~£24 new).

Software is up-to-date and there are a load of IRs loaded on.  

Happy to do a demo via video call and can discuss postage at buyer's risk within the UK / Ireland. 

I'm not after anything in particular for trades but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Is this an advice request or 'item wanted'? 

I may be looking to move on my spare HX Stomp seeing as I've been doing a lot of DIY builds recently, so having an extra Stomp for guitar noodling is a bit excessive!

Just now, Al Krow said:

That's very encouraging to hear!

Out of interest, what are you planning on replacing your S500 with?

I've a Bassman 100T which is simply excellent.  The GK comes close, albeit with its own character so holding onto both for variety and ease of moving will be no hassle if it doesn't sell. 

For what it's worth, I've run my Fusion S 500 with BB2 at a couple of rehearsals with full band and it's easily kept up, 

It's the same. Good bit of kit. Only sold mine as I got an HX Stomp

I had a Retrovibe bass for a short while. The lightweight tuners on them were very smooth; they may be able to assist if you drop them a line.  

SOLD

'veve umm'd and ahh'd about this but I have a wee power amp to use for home practice when my valve head is too much.

Bought in 2020 and includes footswitch plus original packaging. Polar seem to be the only UK stockists and this is £832 including delivery, so this is a chance to get one at a decent discount.

It's in excellent condition, with only light home use and one band rehearsal. 

4 band EQ with voicing and contour controls make this a really versatile piece of kit. The tube overdrive is pretty special too.

Not really after trades, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Trials in Bristol most welcome and can discuss shipping.

Demo's: 

Thread resurrection in light of some new demos (second one is for the new cabs using the amp).  Not a lot of video material for this so these new vids may be useful, although I find that Patrick guy a bit irritating:

Regarding the original post, I've read the guidelines online which clearly state no visas are needed for less than 90 days touring in the EU (and likewise for those visiting the UK).  Quotes from various agents support this.  Not sure this is really a story or just a paper trying to stir up trouble.

Anyway, back to looking at pedals and stuff...

Wow! Quick reply. Many thanks! I found a Vintera Mustang here in the States for cheap, but the fretboard doesn't do it for me. Needs to be darker to have that vintage vibe.

Haven't had the chance to A/B it with my American Performer Mustang, but it also cost half of the American model....maybe I'll learn to love the Vintera?

No problem. I would be interested to hear the difference!

Fretboard looks great. What did you use to darken it?

As mentioned (going on advice from another BC member who did his well) it's worth sanding the fretboard first.  

Had one very briefly but sent it back as it was advertised as new but with shop damage.  Fit and finish was very good, comfortable neck (although I 'd be tempted to sand it a bit) and sounded...like a jazz bass should.  I preferred it to the Fender Pro I tried out but that was from a couple of years ago so not a scientific comparison.  I see they are available online for £999; I'd say give one a go!
