Hi Folks I desperately need a new 1x10 and tweeter for my Epi UL310 series 2, no idea what happened worked fine at the gigs over the weekend turned up to rehearsals tonight and both the top driver and tweeter are goosed any ideas where and how I can get replacements for Friday. Cheers Laurence

Interesting, I actually have an Evah Pirazzi E and A on at the moment and they sound fine but just wanted to try a couple of Weiches to see how they feel, both Charles Haden and Larry Greandier use really old Spiro's on the bottom it's more curiosity than anything else. I have had lengthy correspondence with Gerold Genssler a custom gut string maker from Berlin and really want to try his WRAPS but at 500 euros a go I really want to try them first, he's a great string maker and guarantee's the strings for 2 years.

The Mittles are a little underpowered by comparison on my bass. I would have thought the Weichs would be a little wimpy. Those Olives are great though. peter[/quote]

Hi Guys Has anyone out there got a really old set of Spirocre Weiches?, I'm after the E, A. D to match my old Olives I need a bit more punch and stability and know this would work on my bass. Cheers Laurence

Interesting question, IHE to really use a mic live you need a) a really good mic and a soundman that really understands a limitations of amplifing a double and knows how to get the best out of it. I've used a bunch of different mics and pickups and had various success but in the end it always boils down to the ability of the soundman that made the difference. In terms of gear I now have a DPA4099B it's an excellent but of kit and sounds wonderful I've done several festivals with just the mic in the FOH but and say but, this was a trio gig with no drums, I saw Eric Revis with Branford a while ago using just a mic and he sounded great and he plays with Tain so it can be done, also Carlos Henriquez is a mic only user and recommended the DPA to me. However most of the time I use a Realist in to an Acoustic Image the sound is really good in the mix (with my bass at least) it's also hassle free especially in cramped environments. Anyway just my two pennith worth.

It was close to the notch in the F, at about a 45 degree angle pointing in. Any closer or above the F-hole and it sounded like the mic was in a wind tunnel (which I guess it is, so to speak). Also had some joy (for recording more than live) with the mic pointing straight up towards the tuning pegs, parallel to the front table, but you have to be careful muttering abuse about your band mates - the mic can be more sensitive than you want [/quote]
