    No way will replacing ear plugs kick you out of the Abstinence challenge. Even if they were a new purchase and you weren't replacing them I would make an exception for safety equipment.

    Beaten to it 😁

    Last year the music shop stands had quite a lot of basses as well as guitars - way more than I expected. Fair Deal Music from Brum, Absolute Music from Brighton, and of course PMT.

    https://m.xkcd.com/2038/ It's from this cartoon. I had a t-shirt made up with it. I used to be a physicist, and stil pay the IOP subs, but I went to the dark side (IT) in 1999.

    Anyone going to the Guitar show this weekend? See the events thread for more info.

    I still hope to go Saturday afternoon, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. ☹️

    Printable versions of the badges, should you wish to use them Basschat Lanyards.pdf Basschat Lanyards.docx See you there on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon - assuming I get my fence painted...

    I could post a link to Murder on the Dance floor - but the lockdown licks video is more interesting.

    Looks great @Manton Customs - see you there (I hope)

    Welcome back! We seem to have an ever increasing number of members from South Wales. I'm not sure if the Bass Bash Cymru is taking place or not. @Stub Mandrel ?

    Just found @Happy Jack's post on this too.

    I've never heard of FretFX, but having looked at their site that is a neat option. https://fretfx.com/ Right now it says they are not accepting orders and are clearing the backlog from the pandemic! When did you order yours?

    Sound on Soujnd: Recording Random Access Memories There is a reason it sounds like a million dollars.

    Which day I go is now dependent on the weather, as I have 70 yards of fence to paint this weekend 😞 I'll get a PDF of the badges uploaded today.

    I have assorted reference tracks I use for PA setup. Bat Out of Hell is one I use - not because the mix is especially good, more that I know exactly how it should sound. Top Tip - Never use Daft Punk's Random Access Memories as a reference album.- the production on that album is so good that it sounds great on anything from a stadium rig and very expensive hi-fi, through ear-buds to rusty tin cans. I've listened to it a thousand times, and I still don't know how they do it.

    It means you have a system that would make many church sound engineers envious.
  17. Richard R
    At our church the church is buying the IEM amps, and then people use what they want in their ears. But it isn’t mandatory, and a lot of the vocalists prefer a wedge monitor.

    But presumably custom moulded buds only fit certain drivers? The KZ-ZS10 is good enough as a driver for £40, what price a custom bud and would it fit?

    Thanks everyone- and @Madein1962 for the Ric-specifics. Given that the bass isn't getting a lot of use at the moment, and it still plays very nicely, I think the best plan is leave things as they are, but to get at least a couple of luthiers to look at it and scope them out regarding their expertise. If they can do the work properly then get them to provide an estimate for future reference.

    Just seen that the KZ ZS10 Pros are now down to £37 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Linsoul-KZ-ZS10-Earphones-Detachable-Black/dp/B09DK2N5G3?th=1 I

    I recommended the KZ ZS10s to my lad who plays bass, again based on this forum, he really likes them. I have a problem with ear buds that go into the ear canal, in that I just find them uncomfortable. Ear buds that sit in the ear (but don't push in) don't have enough bass response in my experience, so I gave up. - which isn't great as we have no bass amp or foldback anymore! Last week played with over-ear headphones and just hung one on the right ear. That was the best so far, as it didn't need much volume for me to hear me, and reinforce the vocal lead and keyboard. I I'm told custom-fit moulds are much more comfortable, as they are just a close fit rather than relying on compression, but that's an expensive gamble.

    That's a lovely thing, a piece of history and a very fair price. Sadly out of my reach, but very desirable. Have a bump up the thread, and GLWTS.

    Welcome back!
  24. Richard R
    That explains something I have always struggled with. When it says Cm, I can play a C but never find an m.

    @Minininjarob All the above probably sounds like a bunch of grumpy guys trying to put a downer on your playing. We're not - honest! I love fancy playing, jazz chops, stopped notes and all sorts of stuff I can barely play. Sometimes it's cool to drop fills into songs and it really enhances them, sometimes it's a distraction, or the mood's not right. It can take a while to figure out how a band works and where your playing fits in. Of course, you might be in a church where this sort of stuff is the regular diet (not the tapping, the gospel). Even then, notice that most of what Scott plays during the song is on the beat 😉 Do let us know how you get on on Sunday.
