    I like the idea of an always on tuner - always useful if you are holding a note, you can tune mid song/bar without your sound dropping out. Then you have the mute for when you do want to drop out and silent tune.

    Imagine standing with your setup now and sticking your fingers deep into your ears. Thats the isolation that an IEM will typically give you. With your IEMs, all you need is a little volume to get over that ambient stage volume. In reality, the volume you need in the IEMs can be pretty quiet - and it certainly can be a lot less than playing with no hearing protection. If your backline was for your monitoring needs only, you may as well save your back and journeys to and from the car - assuming that the PA can cover your FoH needs without backline. (I'm also assuming that nobody else on stage is requiring your bass cab for their monitoring needs). UE6 vs A4s are going to be largely separated by price. If you can afford to go to A4s, then the balanced armatures in the A4 will reveal a greater level of precision, especially in the mids and lows. The UE6 has a warmer timbre due to the inclusion of dynamic drivers and arguably not as detailed (but you know, I'm talking in uber obsessive terms terms here, the UE6s are going to sound way, way, way better than the majority of universal IEMs). If you haven't clocked already, the UE6 is a great IEM in that it has greater headroom than 3 balanced armature based IEMs (by using dynamic drivers in the mids and the low (dynamics have more headroom than BA). So the key bit for bass players, is that where you need the headroom (in the lows), a balanced armature IEM would need 2 bass balanced armatures drivers to have similar headroom to the 1 dynamic driver in the low. The easiest thing to do is listen to the difference and see if the extra money of the A4 is worth it to you... (you may even prefer the sound signature of the UE6. I love the UE6 and would be one of my top choice IEMs for sure).

    In my experience, singers are the ones that make use of the stereo functionality the least! (And thats if you can stop them taking one of their IEMs out!)

    Mono works well enough - but stereo is a different kettle of fish. Having said that, I'd still take a mono IEM feed over a wedge any day. If you are feeling flush, you could always go down the ME500, ME-1 route...

    Bow finishing, David Wilson, Sims guitars.

    Meguiars ultimate compound followed by Meguiars ultimate polish. If the scratch is deep but not through the clear, wetsand, 1500, 2000, 2500, 4000 (must use sanding block - tiny one as I'm presuming the scratch is small!) then Meguiars polish. (Not for the fainthearted... and don't go through the clear coat!

    Nathan East plays a stock BBNE2 5 string... apart from when he plays his 6 string BBNE2... which isn't available to the public (that kinda counts in a roundabout way, right?)

    I'm guessing... cos Wal filter based preamp is a bit of a devil to adjust on the fly... Anything in the studio has probably been processed to death... and I think I read that he liked the carbon necks as they never moved, so on tour, they were consistent with no issues of altering the truss rod or getting action right. They just don't move. But you know, I read this on the internet so it could be complete b*llocks.

    Hmm, looking into the Garrison vs Janek signatures, there really isn't any discernible difference between the two at first glance. It would seem that all the Garrison esque changes have been incorporated... so yeah, if there is a kickback, I can see Matt being p1ssed. I've never really thought about it because it's not likely to be the sort of thing that would ever be something that I'd need to consider. Fodera designs I guess are a bit more specialised I guess... but looking through a different lens, all these Fender Jazz bass signatures... how different are they to each other... really? I mean, they are all kinda the same with just a few notable exceptions (e.g. the Marcus one)
  11. EBS_freak
    And it took that long to get that out? All seems a bit playground. Also - I wasn’t aware that the high C was anybody’s thing? I hope that Janek gets to his goal. Getting YouTube to work is pretty hard - but for me, he’s going to have to be far more engaging!
  12. EBS_freak
    And what was your take on it?
  13. EBS_freak
    I dunno. The marlowedk signature was short lived love. How many people will buy a Scott or Janek bass because of them? I bought a Nathan East signature cos it’s a killer bass. Nothing to do with Nathan although I do really dig on his playing. I wish it didn’t have the East inlay on the 12 fret.

    Those trinkets are great! I do love an Arduino project. My latest is a foot controller for online presentations, controlling multiple cameras angles, camera sliders, teleprompt control, lighting controls, mute (of course!) bringing in graphics on screen (via key/fill) and stepping through presentations/infographics etc. Total tap dancing work out but it's pretty ace. One man band television studio! (But great for my online conference stuff - keeps my hands free (I do a lot of talking with my hands!))

    At last. How long has it taken you? ...Im not saying anything.
  16. EBS_freak
    You dont want an adapter. An aux isn't really designed to drive headphones... There should be a headphone amp in there somewhere, whether it's on the other side of a wireless connection, or in this case, in between the aux and the headphone. Plus it gives you the ability to easily change volume should you need to.
  17. EBS_freak
    A Behringer P2 is the answer you are looking for.

    The DAD6001 may be.... but... The clip isn't. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/miscellaneous-adapters/dpa-plastic-belt-clip-for-dad6001-xlr-adapter
  19. EBS_freak
    Ooh, I like that. That ball joint is quite useful. I've come across these before, from DAP (just reverse the clip to change the orientation of the XLR). Nice solution but obviously, it's not quick release, so becomes part of the XLR. I don't personally like having something without a volume control on my belt though - but each to their own. (So even if I had a dedicated amp, I'd want a volume control post that). Again, what works for you and all that.
  20. EBS_freak
    There’s your problem. They aren’t great. A single balanced armature just won’t cut it.
  21. EBS_freak
    Totally! Although he didn't tour with the band, so visually not represented in any of the live performances.
  22. EBS_freak
    Rutger. He’s quite possibly the best unknown but in the open bassplayer out there. If he was American or British, he probably would have been more of household name! Love his stuff.
  23. EBS_freak
    You'll get a bazillion different answers... but as far as what I did to get the ball rolling... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatles-Complete-Scores-Transcribed-Score/dp/0793518326/ref=asc_df_0793518326/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310081590442&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3500387670720029362&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007151&hvtargid=pla-525453688488&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 And played a long. Did a number of things, got me into reading the notes (although tab is included if it's not your thing). Got me understanding melody in bass - Paul McC is a master on this front. I don't play anything like Paul McC now - and got very much into techniques and expanding my trickbag I guess... but that was a super solid starting point. Nowadays, I think the players that I more gravitate towards are the likes of James Jamerson, Nate Watts, and say, folk like Bernard Edwards... but that melodic approach can still be traced backed to those early days battling through Paul's basslines. And then there's the stuff that I have focused on which pushes the technique... but is ultimately quite useless in most band situations. Of course, getting into transcribing your fave stuff and how you want to play really helps develop you.

    Notes 12 minutes in and he's still talking about the fact that people are largely anonymous and have different views, some positive and some negative. 13 minutes in and now he's talking about monetising the channel and getting subscribers. 17 minutes... still talking about monetising the channel and repeating the last video. Nope. This is dross. I can't even cope with it a x2. It's just inane nonsense filler.
