A full-on sound check is becoming less of an issue for the bands I'm in. We use IEMS and Line 6 stomps or Pods, so the signal is routed through a desk, which can save the settings. Once we have set up, we rely on our ability to send the right signal to the desk. The onstage sound is the most important. Once the balance is right, the FOH is just another gain stage. If I'm using amps, I just set it for the venue size. I personally try to look at all the complementary frequencies I may be competing with and set my level where my sound won't get lost. Aside from that, there is usually someone in the audience who feels the need to tell us/ me whats not sounding right

A ledgend!

Someone needs to call the Union Guys!! Unauthorised bass playing from a guitarist! Stick to your lane Yngwie!!

This is a belting bass line. Nice harmonics. Then full-on face-tearing riffs

He's a real talent and surrounds himself with great players, notably Jason Falkner, originally from Jellyfish and Air's go-to guy.

Do you have any recommendations for an app that I can use to download song lyrics? I've used 'on song' in the past, but not for ages. I thought id start my search by asking the basschat massive to get your thoughts cheers

what a quality outfit

Second, third and fourth this. Incredible build quality and versatility

Let them keep their amps and indulge them until the light bulb moment happens. Then, they will buy a Line 6 Helix Stomp or similar. They will find a whole new world opens up for them.

I drop my wire down my back under my top like with my In Ears. Its ok

I love my NUX Might Plug Pro. It has decent amp sims for something so basic. The only wire is from the unit to the headphones. It's well worth some research. works of an App that links to your song library of choice.

I moved to full IEM using Line 6 Helix Stomp DI to the front of the house a number of years back. It's great; I love it and am happy I did. It made me a tighter player and vocalist, so I got rid of my high-end amp and cab. Then a dep gig came up. Nice and easy. I know a few of the players, all good SKA stuff. Brings me straight back to my school days. Fred Perry and Docs. I wrongfully assumed it was a silent stage. No, I need an amp. Managed to get hold of a Fender Rumble V3. Went to gig and was blown away by the experience of using an amp again. As a side note, the Rumble is an incredible amp. As light as a feather, and power and tone beyond many high-end gear I've used. ( if you have not tried one, DO!) Anyway, it was just great to feel an Amp again and feel connected to the room and other players. I feel like Natalie Imbruglia, "I'm torn"

RIP As a kid i used to go to the main Libary in Birmingham. You could lend out cassettes. I remeber listening to 'First Take' in mid 85 for the first time. Her voice was one of the most incredible voices ive ever had the privilage to hear. Incredible musician

I really enjoyed this. Having fallen into every trap around upgrades and mods over the years. This is very much where I'm at as a more mature player
