  1. I'll tell the drummer... everyone else is IEM. @ezbass - it's a great gig and certain songs are just a dream.
  2. Off to 'ull next week.
  3. How to further muddy the waters of Musicman/Sterling/By bass identification... give it the same name as a previous model but take away half the electrics. Genius.
  4. I went in, out and around the whole digital pedal route and I eventually settled on an analogue pedal for my core sound (Fishman Plat Pro) and a Zoom B60 for any drive, phase or chorus. I found the digital modelling devices to be far too complex for my needs and unnecessarily involved.
  5. Local guitar maker in the NE.
  6. Not really PA related so wrong section but... It isn't as easy as just popping in lighter speakers. The cabinet size and porting should be designed around the speakers intended for its use. You can obviously just drop any old speaker in but you might not get the result you expect... other than it will 'probably' be lighter (some neo drivers can be heavier than ceramics, not often but they can be). Also the cost of the neo drivers/speakers might be more than simply selling your present cab and buying something lighter.
  7. For 'me' yes. The pedal functionality is reasonably straight forward but to amend/edit and store etc it was a chew on and so many things to do that weren't obvious or intuitive. Spent ages searching for Youtube vids to show how to do stuff... and everything I did had to be done/redone every time.
  8. Tonex One - should have been the answer to my needs but what a god awful user experience it is; editing etc. is woefully too complex and counter intuitive. It went straight back to Thomann.
  9. 2 x 210 stacked vertically. Take 1 to rehearsals or small gigs; 400w 8ohm or 800w 4 ohm.
  10. Tragic. I never met him in person but we've messaged over the years and I felt like I knew him and he was a friend, which says something about him as a person. Thoughts with his family and friends. R.I.P.
  11. No disrespect but your guitar isn't worth £3000... it is 'used' (it might be immaculate/unplayed but still not 'new') and by your own admission worth about £2000; so realistically they have in fact offered you your expected value of 50% of £2000 = £1000. It has always been the case that a High St retail store will offer the absolute lowest value for a trade in. They have overheads, tax, paperwork, come-back concerns and ultimately have to make a profit never mind just breaking even. I'll concede that your expectation of the Ric for a used Spector @ £1700 isn't totally out of the question. As has been suggested, BassBros or similar might give you a better trade price but I'm 99% sure that if you sold on BC and had the readies in your hand you'd get the best deal buying the bass you are after... possibly even cheaper on BC.
  12. Strings through body doesn't factor with bridge locking screws. It used to be that bridge screws were generally slightly larger dia and had less tolerance than modern bridges; as such the bridge height screws 'could' (not always) vibrate and lower of their own accord. Several manufacturers cured this by adding this locking screw. However, it was a fix to a problem that not all bridges suffered and often you can just take them out... I've often forgotten to tighten them on some of my basses and I only notice several years later when I go to adjust the bridge!
  13. Where there is a fine line between having lovely stereo sent by an engineer who I can trust or me having control of bass level in a multi band, quick turn round scenario... it works for me.
  14. I have mine on my pedalboard. I run a line from my pre pedal to one input on the transmitter and the other channel is fed from the PA; it means I can tweak just the bass volume from the transmitter without needing to get engineer to boost me.
  15. No affiliation but I got my 5.8 from the ebay seller below. I paid zero tax/fees on top of that BUT I may have just been lucky. I also find it frustrating that the volume kn0b rotates freely/easily and it takes very little for it to turn down (never UP oddly). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234741820221
  16. 2.5 - 3 hour drive down the road for us and the first time I've ever played the venue... or even within 75 miles of Oldham!
  17. https://www.mipro.com.tw/webls-en-us/mi-58.html 4th related video on the site. Unsure if it helps?
  18. This is where I ended up after a few budget system trials (and not so budget but still not on 5.8) and I couldn't be happier.
  19. https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=0707-ACO 14".... can you not jiggle the cupboard to fit?
  20. Would you be pairing the 112 with the 115 or replacing one for the other?
  21. No 'combi' inputs?
