  1. Oof. These are like Hen's Teeth. Such a good set up for bass and upright. This gives me serious gas. GLWTS
  2. Update: First gig with the cosmic ears IEMs. Went for the expensive IEMs (close to 1k with the ear mouldings) from cosmic so was expecting a lot and was not disappointed. Logically I should have realized this simple equation a long time ago: The band I play in all use IEMs, guitarist uses a Helix system, Keys player has some stunning Korg Nautilus synths / pianos and stage sounds. We use click tracks and electric drums. Probably north of 12-15k worth of stuff was being channelled into a QSC desk and sent to my rubbish 80 quid IEMs and then I was wondering why I couldn't get a decent sound. last night, completely different ball game. Clarity was unbelievable. I went with the 6 driver IEMs from Cosmic, mainly because the bass reference was the cleanest for my ears IMHO. I should have done this years ago. It would have saved me money and hearing. .
  3. The First thing that appears is 3.03 on the display. Sorry, I'm not very good with this pedal!
  4. Update: Went to Cosmic Ears and ordered some IEMS. Just waiting on the order! Cosmic were brilliant, really helpful and really knew their stuff. Thanks again for all the advice!
  5. For Sale: Panda Audio Future Impact V3 - £175 Posted Great synth pedal, way too much pedal for me and my needs. In near perfect condition.

Not sure if I can bear to be parted from it but it's not being used. Been used a great deal. Some scuffs on bottom of unit but otherwise in good condition.

  6. Oof. Good job you're not up north. Lovely bass
  7. Thanks everyone for replying. Really appreciate your answers. Going to go for some moulds over the next week or so.
  8. I think this is the main factor for me. I had a terrible few gigs where I was trying various different fittings, the PA was loud and as my IEMs moved, fell out, got aggressively shoved back in my ear, I think I have damaged my ears. I'm 51 and have had slight tinnitus for a long time (misspent youth playing in thrash metal bands). Since these few recent gigs I've had constant loud ringing in my ears. I'm not sure if it's purely loud volumes or pressure or whatever. Hence the moulds. Think this might be the answer to avoid any further ear related nonsense.
  9. It's tricky for sure. I've tried cheapish shures and then upgraded to Mackie's (still cheap). Unfortunately I ignored my normal mantra of 'buy cheap, buy twice'. I should have just bought the bullet and got IEMs with 3/4/5 or more drivers and custom moulded fits. Bass response just isn't there on the cheaper ones imho and the fittings are inconsistent at best. Probably would have saved myself 500 quid or so, ah well.
  10. Thanks so much for answering this thread guys, I knew I could count on basschatters for decent advice! Just realised after a quick Google that Cosmic ears are just down the road from me as well! Result!
  11. Hi Mike, Do you mean adding ambient mics to avoid that feeling of detachment you get on stage?
  12. Thanks Rosie. I literally just got another recommendation from a friend for the same company. I've been trying out various models. I used the Shure 215s cheapish ones for a bit but for bass they were not great. Upgraded to some Mackie's which were better for bass reference but I've struggled to get them to fit well. I think I've actually hurt my ears by using them, did a LOUD gig just before Christmas and my left IEM kept falling out and I stupidly kept turning up to compensate. Thought the moulded ones might be the solution. 👍🏻👍🏻
  13. Hi all, Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for IEM custom moulds in the UK? It would be great if I could buy my own IEMs and get custom.moulds. Thanks in adance! ReDD
  14. This is so intriguing, have you got any recordings of it you could share?
