Connectivity is largely driven by the environment. If you are in a high RF environment, some units will fare better than others - this is mostly due to aerial types (and placement) and transmission power. You'd have to do real world tests to accurately compare these sort of aerial/short wave aerial systems.

For extra background, Line 6 latest generation are 1.47ms. Kind of interesting that you could run two Line 6 wireless systems (as guitar to board, board to amp) and still get under what the majority of the competition are achieving!

I believe that they co-exist without an issue. Put it like this, I run 10 channels of ULXD and EW500 simultaneously. For those interested in high density - ULXD with encryption I recall to be 2.9ms.

Latency. Everything else is down to taste.

Of course, the pro solution is something like ULXD running in high density mode... so digital, in say, ch38... gives you the ability to run up to 189 units.. (assuming no interference in the spectrum) as opposed to your typical 12 analogue units. Madness.

This is a valid point. 2.4 Ghz only has 3 truly intermod free channels. So coordinating frequencies which you haven't truly got control over, can be problematic.

As I say, buyer beware. What works for one person, may not work for you. It's about making informed purchasing decision. If I followed alot of the advice I have seen on basschat, I would have a lot of crap for sale. Live, there is no way that I would be entertaining a device that singular takes out a chunk or 8 - or even 5 - ms. I see the argument about low cycles all the time. Everybody seems to forget that when you pluck a note, you are not given a perfect sine - you are given a note with lots of overtones and harmonic content also. It's that content which needs to be considered more than the fundamental.

5ms... which is still almost double the latency of the "slowest" competitor products.

The 8ms becomes a critical issue when running it in line with other digital devices. The human perception of latency varies between people, typically 4-10ms. The majority of people will hit around 10ms. So when buying a wireless, also take into account any other accumulated latency that may be in the chain. This included digital pedals (including modellers) and digital desks for example. Then you have the delay incurred as the soundwaves leave your cab and hit your ears. With some wireless with high latency figures, you are already on the cusp of acceptable latency. Of course, if you are wearing inears, the problem is even more obvious. Just background information for folks that are researching wireless really - not all wireless are equal, especially when it comes to latency.

Nah, I'd rather be without that kinda latency... but each to their own, as you say.

Perhaps I should have said 'wider interest'.

So, no interest in Paul McCartney's left handed, 59 Les Paul? I guess it all depends on notoriety of the player and the association with the instrument (at which point it becomes more a part of music history more than just an instrument). If you can add to it a certain amount of rarity... and you've get a very desirable object indeed.

Chunky and heavy? Guessing you not used moving heads before? These are tiny lightweights!

Look at the big 2x at the start of the description!

The colour of it was absolutely amazing. You can't really make it out - but the right is more of what the colour was really like - a metallic blue/purple. Absolutely amazing sounding J bass but ultimately I fell out of love with it because of all the issues I had getting the neck sorted. The back was wet and dried down to matte CF. Felt and looked like a million dollars.

The strings were put on in a hurry because the neck was being taken on and off the body as I couldn't believe what I was seeing... There's no way I have strings wrapped around the posts in such a poor manner!

Don't get me started.

Barf.

Depending upon where you want your volume control to sit, you could have a cable made up so your headphone amp is on top of your bass amp or on your belt. They key thing is that the cable is multicore and sends everything down one "cable". If your setup works with the cable coming out of the front of the bass, theres no reason why the IEM portion couldnt spur off to your belt and effectively give you what you have with just the instrument cable.

If you aren't on wireless, consider getting something like this - https://www.designacable.com/catalog/product/view/id/4756/s/combo-cable-for-iem-systems-in-ear-monitoring-instrument-and-stereo-headphone/category/221/ OBBM can make you one up too. That way, you only have the one cable to worry about.

It's a beaut! I had one very similar to that colour scheme. Ended up in the States when the guy saw it on the website and offered me an offer I couldn't refuse through contacting Bernie. I think I referenced it earlier in the thread. So glad you have it back in your mitts!

I would personally stock individual strings. Strings are very personal to people - so I think a "save the rehearsal" spare is where it's at.

Incredible huh? I've never regretted the move to DR... they have always done the business for me.... and they seem to last an age for me (not that I'm particularly heavy on strings). re: tension, I know you said that you like the looser tension - but if you do find yourself wanting more, you may want to switch to the Stainless Lo-Riders - effectively the Hi-Beams but with greater tension.
