Anyone tried one of these? I’m quite embarrassed to say I bought one on a deal a while back and have yet to take it out of the box! Voiced for guitar and bass(?). I know people rate some of their drive pedals. https://ashdownmusic.com/products/pro-fx-retro-drive

Just bought a Hipshot Bass Xtender from Jon. Lovely bloke and a pleasure to deal with!

No way that's awful, I've returned stuff to Aliexpress before and it was all straightforward so hopefully will be ok. The shop I bought the wireless units from has disappeared and says if tracking does not update I can open a dispute in 15 days! I reckon they hope you just lose interest but it's just a pain in the derrière!

I've generally had a good experience with Aliexpress but I reckon I've been scammed this time. Got to wait 15 days to raise a dispute!

I have a Chord IEM16, cheap as chips but ok for my needs, however one receiver is occasionally really noisy, like a big mad white noise type noisy and the other the headphone socket is dodgy so the jack is loose and can be pulled out by my moving! Between them they make one decent receiver. Any one have any ideas how to remedy my woes!

Going to open a dispute if I don’t get a tracking update!

They look like they may never turn up!

Yes that looks like it! Fair enough re the multiple transmitters, no big deal to take the transmitter out when switching basses and I could use the other set for my upright.

I have to be honest, I haven't received them yet. Bought them from Aliexpress so who nows what will arrive! But they definitely say 5.8 ghz but are the wooden look ones which appear to be an older model. Channel selection would be ideal tho.

I bought a couple of sets of these, just too cheap to resist. If anyone has used them can you use two transmitters and one receiver? So you can switch basses without removing the unit. Also I don't think you can't specify the channel so if you were using two full units do you just turn one receiver/transmitter on, it makes it's connection and then do they same with the next? Cheers S

Really helpful thanks!

Just so I understand, for live using IEMs you're not actually using the Backbeat's headphone out, it's the 'vibration' from the unit that makes the difference not the actual audio? Sorry for being thick!

I’m clearly a bit late to the party with this but just so I’m clear. Does the bass and the IEM signal go into the Backbeat (separate inputs?) and then an output to headphones and one to the amp or PA? I should just look at their website!

Looking for a new Endpin, not too cheap not too dear! The Gewas look ok at around £80 but great to have some suggestions from the more knowledgable!

Thanks for the replies! The current endpin section which fitted in the bass (is that the pear?) was a wee bit loose so could probably be a little bigger.

I need to replace an Endpin in my spare bass. I’m going to have to visit a luthier to reset the sound post so they could also fit the endpin. But I thought I might just buy all the parts …. Is there a standard size and does anyone have any Endpin recommendations? It’s a Romanian Michael Poller bass. cheers!
