    He had the Warwick Reverso but he also had that weird V... which possibly lessened his weirdness. He also used the Jack Cassidy bass and iirc back in the day the Ibanez Musician as per Sting.

    Off the top of my head I'd have said P bass but then I remember seeing them live and he was using a J bass... then memory kicked in and my earliest recollection might have been with a Ric. These days it appears that it's whatever he can get for free!

    No... ^ THIS ^ sounds like most 4 year olds!

    I am trialling the whole IEM / Monitor / silent stage thing and I have to say that my overarching feeling at the moment is that I am personally not 'enjoying' the playing/listening/interacting experience! I've heard others say that I'll get used to it etc but I've no sense of the goal being achieved any time soon. A few considerations for me are that I'm playing in 2 bands (both share the Soundcraft Ui12 desk as it belongs to the guitarist who is in both bands with me) with 2 different drummers both of whom are old school and use acoustic kits (one brings a massive wedge monitor). Band A is a 3 piece and the guitar is on the far side of the stage with no amps on stage; Band B is a 4 piece with a guitar next to me using a cab + IEM. However, all of this is secondary to the fact my playing is generally reactive to the whole band/audience experience and I find myself not being as nuanced as I would be with backline on stage and tempering how/what I play. I think that I'm missing some of the volume or dynamics when I play using IEMs (even though I use molded plugs when gigging with backline) and I can't get comfortable with that. In short you can say that I am WRONG to not solely use IEMs but for me I have to enjoy the musical experience and I'm slightly isolated from that with IEMs

    Fond memories of lusting after one of these when they first came out, they looked so cool and high tech; I managed to get a used one from Howard's Bass Place some years later! GLWTS

    This is quite long running but iirc there was evidence that people within his band(s) knew full well what he was up to. Not saying all of them but I can't believe you'd not have got a whiff of what he is up to. Were it me I'd be very publicly and through every possible avenue available, be letting folk knew what he'd done; which might include buying a ticket to a show and voicing my displeasure while he was on stage... but that's just me. In fact someone tried to scam me on ebay and I very easily established who they were and their band. I'm just waiting my opportunity to catch up with the gent and let him know what I thought of his stunt!

    Would this be the fella holding the bass?

    Took a couple of read through but I got there. Not your explanation but I'm just getting to grips with the way digi-desks are configured etc.

    Cheers folks, next use is Saturday and I'll dive straight in and see if anything is applied. Just to clarify; the FX sends are they assigned to FOH and aux sends independently?
  10. warwickhunt
    I'll certainly check.

    It's n oldie but a goldie... to 'assume' makes an 'a55 of U and me'. Joking aside, it is a 1 in 100 chance that it is the cab but ALWAYS eliminate the easiest/obvious first especially as it will cost you nothing but a little bit of time.

    I have the EBS350 and the 'character' isn't a massive flavour when used just a little, that wouldn't concern me. IMHO unless you use all of the other permutations to ensure it is defo the head and not another part of the signal chain, you could end up chasing something that can't be guaranteed.

    Nobody gives a sh*t... most people use the opportunity to go to the toilet during this song!
  14. warwickhunt
    Yep, there's something wrong there! Test your basses, cab and ALL cables with another amp to eliminate that variable. I'd also try and bypass the pre and try another preamp into the return AND try the preamp out into another power section. Then you can start to narrow it down. I'd also ask the guy who serviced it too either refund you or show you the amp working correctly.

    I can't find it in the BC Marketplace but I'm fairly sure that was for sale on here recently... maybe this thread forced him to delete it?

    Been there, done that when I worked in audio duplication (spoken books on cassette and CD... so that dates me). We had to have a reference system to test that randomly selected product was of sufficient quality. The system had expensive components and interconnects. For a laugh we hooked up 4 or 5 different speaker cables (twin core cable found left over by a sparky > couple of quid QED cable > all the way up to the reference stuff which was £*** per metre) and did random blind tests... not one person could even remotely identify the most expensive but the 'free' twin core didn't disgrace itself. A bit embarrassing for one of the lads who had just shelled out a big chunk of cash for his latest speaker cable!

    I'm going to move South to be closer to the good stuff for sale... but then I look at house prices and say no. GLWTS

    Is it... isn't it... do they actually have one? Did you buy it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334858607297?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=b69d8ef1e372476ba013deaa2a050f3b&bu=43125159839&osub=-1~1&crd=20230503145100&segname=11051

    Cheers, I'm now sorted!

    I'm trialling IEM and need advice... has anyone ever not? LOL I'm trying to go IEM and no backline. I tried my KZ10's with our guitarists x-vive and I wasn't convinced as I was having drop outs of either or both of my IE and my instrument wireless gear. I bought a P2 and I seem to have the most horrendous latency/boxyness to the sound in my ears particularly when doing vocals. No time to analyse what the cause is as it was bish/bash/bosh in/on/off/away at the gig. My set up went; vocal to desk (Soundcraft U12), bass to desk via Sansamp DI. Aux send from desk via cable to wedge monitor (not turned up but there as a back up) > thru to cable to P2 on strap and to KZ10s. Can I possibly be missing something but how come the other vocal in the band were fine and clear yet my vocal sounded like it had loads of delay/latency? Going to try new stuff this afternoon inc direct from desk to ears no monitor thru.

    Cooling fans?

    It's a BO neck and worth a couple hundred quid... fitting new knobs isn't going to increase the value by what you pay for them... back to the case; it's worth 25% of the value of the item.

    I'll give you £50 for the Hiscox case!

    To be fair, it's not right to compare two different songs that just happen to share a title; as in The Power of Love by Frankie GTH and The Power of Love by Hughie Lewis &TN. Oh wait... The Happy Mondays WERE playing the same song!
