I dismissed any Bluetooth headphones because of the latency problems when using them for practice, I've managed to repair my old Audio Technica ATH WS-1100's, so far the glue is holding

I'll spend today checking out the newer tracks I'm not familiar with. As for the top two, I'm so sick of them I actually change stations if they come on the radio

and also it was a bugger to play live, not many of the post Eric Bell guitarists wanted to make a tit of themselves trying it

that's interesting because I sent the M-50X's back because they didn't have a the pronounced bass of the WS1100's, which from my perspective are far and away the best headphones I've ever used, shame they've stopped making them

the Beyer's do get mentioned a lot, but the blurb also says they are suitable for mixing and mastering, which perversely puts my off, my old AT ATH WS110 wouldn't be very good for mixing, you'd probably finish up with not enough bass with normal listening, but I will see if I can try them out somewhere. I have managed to bodge up my broken headband, not sure how long they will last but it has given me a bit of time

After a bit of research the Audio Technical ATH-A550z's seem to fit the bill, I'll have to find out if anybody stocks them, and for cheap and nasty the Kos UR20's both bass heavy and big earpads for my big ears

my much loved Audio Technica ATH WS1100 headphones have bitten the dust, and are no longer available, I've tried Audio Technica's ATH M-50X's but they haven't got the pronounced bass or depth of the WS1100's. I'm not interested in monitoring with them just listening and practicing through them and I like emphasised bass, any suggestions what to try next?

thanks for all your replies, as I've said I already have a graphic equaliser, a Kenwood KE 2060, which is in the amps tape loop, I only really use it to cut around the 1k mark, especially on CD's, which seem worse for the, what I can only be described as fizz, which also makes the bass stand out more, I'm a believer in cutting what you don't want rather than boosting what you do. So I thought if I could get an amp with a mid tone control I could get rid of it, but it look like there isn't one, so I'll stick with what I've got

tried that, doesn't work, I think the bass and treble on my Nad just boost the the extremes of the bass and treble

this poped up in a google search, no phono input though, are they any good? https://electromarket.co.uk/skytronic-av400-stereo-amplifier-400w-compact-home-audio-power-amp-silver

I can't find one either, that's why I asked on here

bit overkill for my needs, as I said I've already got an equalizer, all I want is something to cut around the 1K mark, just an amp with a mid tone control would probably be enough

I've already got a graphic equaliser, but I'm thinking of replacing my elderly Nad amp, so was thinking I could get rid of the equaliser if I could get the job done with an amp

thread hi jack, anybody got a recommendation for an amp with a mid tone control? I find the best way to bring the bass out in a recording is to cut the mids

I may be in a minority of 2 here but stereo is overrated, especially fake stereo, the other on is Wilko Johnson who said the Feelgood's first album Down By the Jetty was mono because they couldn't really get a stereo recording from drums, bass, vocals and one guitar

anybody near Wales fancies this? https://www.facebook.com/groups/9747906246/user/100008791982931

can't see the harm in sending a vid, just be wary of suspicious follow ups, like paying via paypal, I never sold anything on Reverb so not sure what the procedure is

just purchased a Zoom B1on from Gary, no problems at all, as described and great comms

I learn new songs, revise old ones before a gig, or work out bass lines for originals, is that practicing? don't have a set time, depends whether I've got a gig or new material to work on, otherwise I don't pick the bass up

I once had the misfortune to play through an 1 x 8 elf combo, granted it was a large room, but it was woefully underpowered, no umph and poor projection, a million miles away from vintage Trace amps, maybe the 1 x 10 is better with an extra cab

Also the heat sink models are lower wattage so are a lot lighter, I've got 2, the rehearsal room has a fan modal, about 400 watts I think, weighs a lot more than mine and is not any louder as far as I can tell, mine are still plenty loud enough for gigging without a full PA

that thought occured to me, are BF not very sensitive then?
