Must admit I don't know his solo stuff that well so I wasn't massively bothered, but aye, it just sounded like his solo boost wasn't on! Or, the 2nd guitarist was up too loud.

Slash at the Hydro. Myles Kennedy and the bassist/vocalist were on point. Could barely hear slash. And Doogie White, Ex alcatrazz, rainbow, malmsteen singer

We're looking at getting a wireless kit for our vocalists iems. There seems to be about 40 million different systems so really just looking for real life recommendations. We're happy to spend up to 250... just need sender/receiver.. he already has in ears.

There's a bit of bleed out the main outputs which is a pain but nothing that makes it unusable! Apparently the later models don't have that problem.

Me and my band use a zoom l12 for rehearsals, in ears and occasionally live. Apart from it being slightly plasticy feeling, functionally it works great ( the monitor mixing took a few goes to get my head round but its actually very simple). I've got it in a flight case which it never leaves so not got a huge concern over breaking it, and so far very good. A much cheaper option especially if you're wanting to go IEMs as this will also be your headphone amp, and more "traditional" as it has actual faders.

pretty sure i covered it.

Recording directly is essentially juat a blanket term for recording without going through speaker and mic set up. DI boxes do quite a specific job but for your purposes getting your bass signal directly into your recording equipment (your computer) is all that it means. This can be from your bass lead directly, through a pre, through your amps pre amp out put, effects etc.. all with various results! To get the audio In to your computer you really need an audio interface. This dies multiples jobs but most importantly it changes your bass signal which is analogue into a digital signal so you can hear it and see it on your computer. The daw is also just the software used to record and control your recordings. If you have a Computer, get yourself an audio interface, and a daw ( there's plenty free ones) and although it might be a bit of a kerning curve, the basics are quite easy once you get to grips!

I lost my last filter for my trusty Alpine plugs on Friday night that I've had for must be close to a decade! I beleive they will be the musicsafe pros although they now come in different packaging, so I'm hoping they actual plugs are the same cos I think my ones are wonderful!

My band are doing our annual show in May.. come along!

My feeling is that it is age. However I don't think the cut off has changed. When I was 14 in 1996 I would've said anything pre 80s would be vintage.. nearly 30 years later I still think that!

If you feel you'd use the extra in board versatility then I'd 100% say it's worth it, although I can't vouch specifically for the John East preamp.

Not for a full refund if the goods are of diminished value. I'd assume you've opened it and tried it. You've diminished the value. As you say, it's not a try before you buy. The fact that it is broken though gives you rights to a full refund with no deductions, and in fact, any real impact on you. Just provide basic proof of the fault and everyone moves on. Alternatively, let your piss boil, refuse to take a 30 second video, post a rant online, then travel to the shop instead. I know what I'd do.

Short term right to reject is on the basis that that the fault is assumed present at the time of purchase. But the item still needs to be faulty. So its not entirely unreasonable for the supplier to request evidence that its faulty in the first place. Video seems a logical option. I've zero issues with that. If they then use that to try get out accepting the return then that's a different matter.

I'm a big fan of the zoom stuff. Always liked their bass multiFX. my first ever pedal was a zoom, as per the photo below. Pretty much the only bit of kit I've never sold. Definitely shows its age so it's retired. Owned multiple Zoom pedals but still own and use occasionally an ms60b! I've done that thing where it now has all the MS range effects on it, not just the bass ones, so it's now a make shift bass and guitar rig! I did a direct to PA gig last month using the ms60b and it sounded brilliant. Zero issues using this in the future.

i really want to get through this but holy moly, the host and others are absolutely murder!

I love mine. Can't comment on how it compares though but there's nothing poor about the yamaha!

Not exactly fender style but any ACG 32" would be tremendous. The one i had was by quite a distance the best made, best sounding, and easiest to play bass I've ever owned. If i ever get to a stage where my fingers need a shorter scale bass I will almost certainly go back to an ACG I've also got a Bacchus WL433 which is a 33" scale - that's lovely to play and still 'looks' full size. I could let that go actually, if you're in the market although my mate has borrowed it for about 2 years so I've no idea what state its in these days

Cheers troops. I will also day that I had a fee glasses of red in me when I edited those photos... and I've clearly went a bit OTT on raising the blacks.. its not as washed out in real life as those photos suggest haha

Yes. My original plan was to change the guard too, but it buffed up nicely. I like black on black but i could go anything really since its a blank canvas. You thinkin a 3 ply black? It plays lovely so id assume its a photo angle thang!

although I will say the original photos make it look much better than it did in real life.

To be fair I'm torn too.

I bought this bass off this very forum about 5 years ago. Got it because it's a YOB bass, it was cheap, and it looked like it had a bit of mojo and had the idea of a project. When I got it, it played well, but the "Wear" was more like the wear you get from throwing it down the stairs rather than through 40 years of hardcore sex, drugs and rock n roll. And, for some reason, I got it in my head that all the bits were very specifically to this bass so it would involve more than a bit of DIY to get aftermarket parts fitted. Turns out i was wrong. I've used it a few times, but has mainly sat in a case. I'm doing a gig with an indy type band next month so felt a more edgier bass might look more the part so got this out. Still not happy with the look, I decided to give it a wee spruce up. Hopefully the original owner doesnt mind me nicking his photo's as unbeleivlably in 5 years of ownership i never photographed it. Things I did: sanded the body - took literally 40 minutes - the finish was extremely thin and I'm convinced not original resprayed with £6 furniture stain from The Range Lacquered with furniture lacquer from the Range - sanded then repeated. put on new pickup covers as the old ones were cracked cleaned the pick guard with car black cleaner. before it was old matt and faded, now it is jet black and almost shiny brasso'd the bridge resoldered a joint in the electrics as it disconnected during the taking apart put on new brass knobs Things I learnt: if the new pickup covers are tight, don't force them as it's now impossible to get the pickups out the covers - it's not longer a reversible mod the stain colour was far darker than i was expecting. I was aiming for a more red-ish stain, this is almost black. brasso is incredible What I will say is it plays superbly. It balances great, and the action can get quite low so its a breeze to play.However, for me its a bit too mid range growly; almost too characterful. So, I might look at changing the pups at some point. The finish is not pro level but i do like that you can see the grain. I wonder though if i really should've just left it!

I probably will be hounded out the thread for this but I find naming basses a wee bit tragic! At a push, I'm OK with funny names, but anything even slightly serious, it's a bit weird in my view!

I actually know the exact answer to your question, but I'm not going to tell you.
