    Nice, like them both. Oddly I reckon the less bottom heavy Sandberg would work better in my band setting as the mids/up over would cut through but in isolation and take the Yamaha.

    I've tried ampless and if it works for you it is apparently the end to all backline GAS... you just have GAS for the latest pedal and/or IE. However, I didn't like it and I've reverted back to my amp/cab and my custom moulded ear plugs. What I am going to do is get new plugs as mine are 10 years old and though still in good condition, I think my ears have changed shape and they don't fit as well. Each to their own and 'vive la difference' as the Scottish would say!

    Alternatively search on BC for Handbox WB100.

    Got the same bass/colour scheme and I traded it once... quickly traded to get it back. Lovely basses.

    Is the YI200 chassis quite a large chassis?

    Regardless of sound quality, I believe latency would begin to become an issue.

    Aldi or Lidl do packs of 50 / 100 for a few quid on their fabled centre isle, might be worth a look... just step away from the cheap screwdriver sets!

    Hang fire, I have one you can have.

    I'll take this Joe.

    I think that is pretty much my findings. Not got a problem using the KZs as listening devices for a laptop etc when there is no ambient noise but gigs... hmmmm
  12. warwickhunt
    I'm using the Comply but the isolation is not good. Could be my ear shape or that the KZs are quite large so pull/twist. I'm less worried about nuances of 1 v 5 drivers and/or mid range availability; I need to get the isolation sorted otherwise I'm turning up the IE volume to offset the drum bleed through from the acoustic drums.
  13. warwickhunt
    Those IE100s look significantly smaller/lower profile than the KZs, is that the case @Phil Starr? Does anyone have a photo of them physically side by side?

    Could be worse... you could have bought a Fender! Hey! Just saying.

    I've just bought one of these and as a former owner of both USA Stingrays and Sterlings, they really do punch above their weight and get a very good 'Musicman' tone despite being passive! If you want that MM tone but in SS, do yourself a favour and buy this. I was seriously tempted to go for the full fat USA short scale but after trying this out, I'm not going to shell out x4 as much cash. Not saying a USA wouldn't be better but not 'that' much better.

    I've bought dozens (literally) of used £1000+ basses from Europe over the past 20 or so years and price/value was/has been one of the reasons I bought from Europe (+ a few from the USA when £ v $ was good). However post Brexit, the 25% increase and the weakness of the £ has meant that there's never a point where an instrument purchase makes financial sense, I may as well wait and see if the instrument that I've an interest in, appears for sale in the UK. Likewise, I've sold/traded basses 'to' Europe in the past but now, European buyers won't pay what the value is now!

    I got the same unit, with the intention of sending back when (if) it was cack; turned out to be perfectly acceptable. It is NOT a pro unit and wouldn't stand up to hard road use but for the price I can 'hear' no discernible difference between it, my previous £250 Line 6 unit and a £500 unit I borrowed. I'm sure with studio headphones or on a test machine, you'll note differences but in the pub/club with a band/PA going I can't see you'd grumble.

    Is it anything to do with the internal stereo/mono switch internal to the P2?
  20. warwickhunt
    Is the switch not an active/passive switch?
  21. warwickhunt
    Active or passive doesn't affect my Lekato 5.8.

    North East Cheap Trick fans?

    I'll hold off on judgements as to how I'm likely to use it till I hear it in the full band setting but the output variation does defo seem to act very differently with certain amps.
  24. warwickhunt
    As you were! Swapped to my regular amp and cab and all is as it should be! My 'house' bass combo is a bass/acoustic combo (Ashdown Radiator) and seems to be much more susceptible to input level changes, no such probs on my amp and cab rig.

    Just picked up a short scale Sterling by Musicman Stingray... the neo pup passive jobbie with the push/push volume pot. I was aware this was a (faux) volume boost and various youtube reviews (Andertons & Lobster) seemed to indicate this was a subtle boost (or cut as it really is). However, the bass I've received has a BIG gain/volume differential and I wondered if this was normal? The differential is so great that there is no way you would engage it to make up for any perceived differential between any of the 3 pup selections, it is that big that no matter which pup selection is made it feels more like a 3-6db lift (massive).
