We been using a XLR to XLR cable between our desk and the Behringer P2 for some time without any issues. We haven't tried using XLR to 1/4" jack so I can't comment on that. Can only suggest you go with XLR to XLR if you can. -
I've just received my first scratch plate from Tim and I must say I'm really impressed. I love the colour and it fits perfectly. Great communications throughout and I received it only nine days after ordering. I'll definitely be ordering another.😎

Thanks @EBS_freak, that's very helpful. I’m assuming the A4s would have greater definition due to the 3xBA's in addition to the Dynamic driver for the low end, compared to the 2xDynamic drivers and 1xBA in the UE6 Pro. If I get on with the borrowed IEM's initially I'll book an appointment with the Custom IEM company in Leeds and ask if it's possible to demo both (assuming with Universal buds) to see which ones I prefer. My backline provides some of the FoH sound and the drummer and singer also need it for monitoring so I don't think I'll be able to remove that from the equation any time soon. The spec for the a4s show a maximum of 20db isolation v 26db isolation for the UE6 Pro. That seems like a significant difference in real terms. As I'll be pretty close to my backline and the drums would you recommend I prioritise additional isolation over any tone preference?

After reading this mega thread with interest I’ve decided to take the plunge into iems. We have a pretty good live sound (everything is mic’d up and through an RCF pa) but my hearing is not great so the reason is to help protect what hearing I have left. It will be a stereo wireless feed from a Presonus StudioLive 32SC via a Sennheiser xsw-iem wireless to a set of borrowed 64 Audio u6t’s to see how I get on with iem’s. If I like them I’ll probably go down the custom route for improved isolation and fit, and have been looking at the UE6 Pro or 64 Audio a4s. I’ll still be using backline so my only slight concern is whether the iem volume I need will cause an issue. I would be grateful for advice from anyone with experience of making the switch to universal fit iems and still using backline please. Also, any opinions on the merits of the UE6 Pro v a4s would be appreciated too please. Thanks in advance. Gaz

Thanks, I’ll try that approach. 😎

Thanks for posting @LukeFRC, my DC7 also doesn’t work when it’s cold. At first I thought it was due to a dodgy IEC lead and then assumed that was like that by design. I’ll contact them with a view to sending mine back for inspection in February when I have a lull in gigs.

The Sennheiser XSW-D pedalboard wireless set is worth checking out. I've been using it for a year now and really pleased with it so far. 😎 https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/xsw-d-pedalboard-set

I used a Line6 G30 for years with no problems and only sold it as I wanted a bug type transmitter. Unfortunately the used Line6 G10S I bought has constant dropout issues so is consigned to home use only (where it still has the issues). I bought a Sennheiser XSW-D pedalboard wireless last year that also has a built in tuner. It’s been rock solid so far and I’m very happy with it. Might be worth checking out if you haven’t done so already.

I used Strings by Mail recently which worked out at less than £30 per set including shipping IIRC. Here’s a link: https://www.stringsbymail.com/electric-bass-strings-660/dr-661/lo-rider-1056/

I'm surprised this is still available. These are great amps IMHO. GLWTS! 😎- 1 reply

Yes, not my main gigging bass anymore but my S2 Classic was my ‘go to’ for about 10 years. I’ve owned a Streamline and earlier model (can’t remember which) lined fretless.
-
Pickup position, build quality, looks and how well they sit in a live mix. I've had six Ray's and the two Specials I have now are the best of the lot.
-
I’m impressed. 😎 My two sets of strings arrived today, 11 days after ordering. The cost was £27 per set including shipping from the States. The cheapest I could find in the UK including delivery was £34 per set.

I also had the 500 watt class AB and 800 watt class D versions. As @Sparky Mark said, probably just not commercially viable. I recall when I bought my first one (500w Class AB) it was about £100-£200 more than a LM3. The only real difference was the flexibility to change modules and it looked nicer. Mine originally had the solid state pre-amp module that I later swapped out for the tube pre-amp which I preferred. It worked out cheaper that buying a new amp and I got another few years out of it before moving to something else.
-
Thanks for the heads up. I've just ordered a couple of sets of DR Sunbeams. Including delivery and tax they appear to be about £8 cheaper per set than from UK sources.

I’ve found DPD to be pretty good so far, particularly for up to date tracking info.
-
I wish you had told me that 5 years ago. 😊

Not too many for me: - anything relic’d - heavy weight - narrow string spacing - matching painted headstock with maple neck
-
I couldn’t possibly comment. 😆😎 -
That’s a fantastic looking bass and a great price Mick. GLWTS! 😎

Yes, I gig with two Stingray Specials (a 4H and 4HH). One is tuned a semitone down for certain songs we do but the reason for two almost identical basses is to avoid volume and tonal differences.

Excluding PA and lighting gear, I always take: 2 basses 1 amp 1 cab Pedalboard Leads (including spares) DI box (in case of amp failure) 2 Hercules stands Spare strings Spare batteries

IIRC they used to do some great cover versions on the B side of their singles, including; Silly Thing (Sex Pistols) , I Got You (Split Enz) and Menah Menah (Animal’s song from the Muppets). 😎

RIP Alan. BTW - really poor effort from Sky News this morning by reporting his passing with a video of Quo with Rhino Edwards on bass. 😐(No disrespect to Rhino)
