    Honestly you couldn't pay me enough to use the Seymour Duncan SPB-1, I had one and couldn't wait to get rid of it, LOTS of bass, no mids, not a great deal of treble. If I was playing dub reggae I would have loved it but in a rock setting (and by rock I mean classic rock not heavy rock) I got absolutely buried, the SPB-2 on the other hand is a fantastic pickup, not a great deal of treble but lots of mids, decent bass, when I had one I used to run one without a tone pot and got a great sound from it. Nowadays if I was looking at replacement pickups I would try and get one with as flat a response as possible and shape the tone with EQ but that's just my personal preference.

    Sorry I should have responded to this thread, I looked into over the ear headphones but was having issues finding ones that were sufficiently non bulky and with good attenuation, in the end after some research I ended up buying a set of Shure iems that are due to arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed these work for me 🤞

    Thanks for the replies, as it is presumably the tips that cause the sound attenuation is it really worth spending a lot on iem headphones or should I focus my money on getting a selection of tips? I have not used iems before so this is so completely new to me. At the moment am looking at the Shure SE215 and the Sennheiser IE 100 Pro, I briefly considered the Linsoul KZ ZS10's but I found a mention somewhere of them being mid scooped which is a big no no for me.

    I'm looking at iems at the moment and is a bit overwhelming especially being a bit neurospicy, can you really get decent sound attenuation from a set of in ears? I was looking at a set of Shure SE215 and it says up to 37db of attenuation, I am sceptical but hoping I am wrong Also do you normally get a selection of different size tips? I am a little reluctant to fork out for iems only to find that they don't fit and are letting in a load of outside noise Thanks

    Hi I will shortly be moving to using iems for gigs. As someone with tinnitus I use ear plugs to prevent any more hearing damage and would like a set of headphones that I can use that will attenuate the sound level of outside sounds to a similar level. Having had a look it looks like drummer headphones is the solution however I see that a lot of these are very bulky, is there anything that is low/low-ish profile that will protect my hearing? Thank you

    I couldn't see that a thread has been created for this, looks like a very interesting bass. Medium scale, humbucker in the neck, single coil in the bridge position, looks gorgeous. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Grestch-Electromatic-CVT-Bass-Double-Cut-LRL-Bristol-Fog/79HO?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22290702940&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLR1Nk-UwpcsIbHeg9fwsf-Mr&gclid=CjwKCAjw3rnCBhBxEiwArN0QE3co07vE79qIfly1XnMv8zcqzQ1OcvWp8yKhQTyojo_K_20krLm8DBoC8fkQAvD_BwE

    Post gig insomnia, the only kind of insomnia that I don't mind

    I will hard pass on any strings that are priced that high, I don't use flats anymore but when I did I wouldn't have paid that.

    Check that the pickups are passive before you take out the preamp, they most likely are but would be awful to take out the preamp to find that you needed it after all

    Heads up for anyone looking for a mini EQ pedal, Rowin is absolute cr@p, noisy as hell, cheap but not even worth the £25

    Thanks for the replies, much appreciated

    So, I am looking at switching as many of my pedals as possible to mini pedals as my pedal board is becoming too big and weighty. I now have my chorus pedal and EQ pedals sorted so am now looking for an overdrive pedal, what is out there that has a small footprint but doesn't lose low end? I would like to keep the cost below £100 but preferably I love a bargain so the more inexpensive the better. I see there are a lot of of mini overdrive pedals out there but they all seem to be made for guitar. Thanks

    "Zak made a few mistakes and he has apologised" 🤣 I know they are a professional band but the guy is human like the rest of them, I'm sure the others aren't flawless 100% of the time especially as Roger Daltrey himself has admitted that his hearing has seen better days. Sounds like maybe they have realised that they were being twats and are now looking to do a u turn in the least embarrassing way possible.

    I haven't heard them with Pino so I can not offer an informed opinion but doesn't Pino use flatwounds? Surely that has to be the polar opposite of what The Who would want for there sound?

    So, I got a set of these in medium scale for my Ibanez AGB200, put the strings on and then noticed some buzz on the D string, had a look and the other strings are fine but the D string taper starts between the nut and the 1st fret, either they have packed a short scale string or that is some seriously shoddy quality control.
