That's cos Rock n Roll killed you. It's time to fight back.
-
FFS - not only are you killing Rock n Roll, you are systematically destroying it for everybody else. You complete b*tard. Interestingly enough, did they have any feedback about your rig post the gig - or were they a "don't care as long as I have a sound" types? Anyway, the other point you make is very valid. I sold my Fender Twin as my Kemper now takes care of that... and a load more extra that I never owned in the first place.

I did arrive as a bit of a stressed out wreck. 😛 Gig was actually pretty decent in the end though! -
I sold it! Squier Affinity 5 String Jazz bass aka The Life Saver OK here's the backstory. I live in the Midlands, Lichfield to be precise... and I regularly gig with a band based in Loughborough. I agreed to do a gig with them down in Taunton - however, they had van driver availability issues, so I agreed to drive to Loughborough and pick up the van. All the way to Loughborough, something was playing on my mind... you know, that feeling you get that you've forgotten something but can't quite put your finger on it. You mentally check... cables, amp, strap etc... all check. Get to pick up the van and move my gear from my car into the van. Oh dayum. Where's my bass? Band leader says, no worries, I got a 4 string P bass you can use. I'm all, nah, it's OK, I got time to call back via home and pick up one of my basses. So I drive home. Dayum. Guess which idiot left his house keys in the car... back in Loughborough. Time was getting on and there was no way I could make it back to Loughborough, then back to Lichfield, then get to the gig in time... especially as I had all the PA in the van with me. Cue lots of phoning around trying to find somebody local that I can beg, steal, borrow a bass of. In short, couldn't get to anybody in time to pick up a bass and get to the gig... so drove to PMT, walked into the shop and asked for the cheapest jazz bass they had and take it straight to the till. I think I was in there all of 3 minutes. Got to the gig ok, a quick setup and the bass is decent to be fair. I would keep it but already have a low priced Yamaha that fulfils the role of a cheaper bass. So in short. I'm an idiot. This bass has been played for approximately 2 hours. I bet there's examples out there with more miles on it due to being on the shop floor. It's in as new condition, complete with the original cardboard box. My idiocy can be your gain. Anyway, dropped to £150.

It does - but I haven't got a pedal case at the moment. I can get you measurements if you want to hit the Kemper forums though.

Completely oblivious...
-
See if you can spot me. 😛

Looking great. Im sure Chad's face is that colour right now. I'm sure you could do the same for the Kemper community...
-
I wouldn't bother personally. My JH were a pain in the backside fitting into the custom cradle. In fact, I'm pretty sure they've dumped it now and just have the case. It was fiddly trying to get the ear pieces in because there was no flex in the cradle. Functionally, I think the latest 64 case is probably the best.
-
It's a take on the Peli 1010 case. Your's is more than half the price though - so you can't argue with that! Is it airtight? - has it got a pressure relief valve? Only reason I ask is that I got caught out with such a case when I went on a plane. Couldn't open the bloomin' thing because it hadn't got a pressure relief valve! 😛 You do realise that you've now opened a whole new world of geekery in this thread. Didn't your IEMs come in the original 1964 case with the natty cut out foam interior? Why the change? Incidentally, I think the new 64 audio case is pretty stellar. Not the most attractive case out there, certainly compared to the cf offerings from JH - but for functionality, I'm mega impressed. 1964 case with foam insert - 64 audio case with all the tool holders and apex module holders - JH CF case - I actually like the design of the roundels - but don't think that they are as good for holding all the accessories and the like... The UE round case though... man, lust. and for completeness -
-
Have a look at the exhibitors too... looks like they're leaving everything to the last minute....
-
Yeah, if you want some wireless with low latency, you are probably looking at the Line 6 stuff at the lower price point.
-
It all stinks of a bit last minute right?
-
The artists section is a bit err... meh.
-
Not great if you enjoy low latency times... and that particular model is not good with active basses.
-
I noticed that nobody commented on my binaural adventures.... maybe I can interest you with this one instead? Bubbles - Yosi Horikawa. Such fun to listen to... Only really works on headphones though due to the binaural mics that were used to capture it all. Anyway, grab your IEMs (works better than headphones as it removes the influence of the pinna completely) And it's on Youtube - In fact, if you got Spotify, all of Yosi's stuff is worth a listen. The sub drops on Wandering are fun.
-
Stickers? Oh no, we don't use stickers round here any more. It's just that people are used to seeing stickers... if we break that mind set and open it up to the new way of working, then we can make progress. Not only do we kill rock n roll... lets kill sticker bombs too.

Line 6 G30 battery door just fell apart.
EBS_freak replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
That's a bit odd. Is there anything stopping you switching the doors? Or is the risk too much to be worth bothering with? -

The sad thing is, thats probably not far off the cost they'd probably charge you for outrageously overpriced spares and courier costs. -
I think the impression you get is pretty accurate with regard to balance. Tips themselves can alter the response of the piece but as a hole, I would say that the choice of tips to alter sound is purely for the hifi fanatics. On stage, where hell has been unleashed, I would wager such nuances would be even noticed. The improved seal usually means that you don't them as hard - so arguably, you gain in the headroom too - and that's when you are performing live, where the significant gains are to be made. In short, if the piece sounds like you want it to sound with no EQ, then you are homing in on a good inear for you. If you can get that required sound with bags of headroom, well, that's where you are getting towards nirvana.

For the money, they are lovely, especially when a quad from the big three is coming in at circa 800 quid from JH and closer to a grand from 64 and UE.
-
Some of you that follow me on instagram, will have seen I made another trip down to Hertfordshire - I was with a mate who was hell bent on some JH Laylas - but given what I'd heard between the Layla and A12ts, suggest he should try the 64s as the 64s didn't display some of the issues that I have with the Layla... and hell, it's a nice day out trying gadgets isn't it? Anyway, he came away with the 64s but I did use the opportunity to try out the new UE Lives and UE6s. For me, the UE Lives are a really nice piece, nice thump in the lows and nicely detailed... however, they didn't particularly have anything about them that wowed me - they were just really nice. My friend positioned the Layla and UE Lives kind of equal - he loved the UE lives.. but felt the detail on the mids in the A12ts were superior. He actually preferred the slighter lesser bass in the UE lives than the A12ts - but he is primarily a guitarist and lead vocalist, so that didn't surprise me too much. Now, here's the interesting find- the UE6s I thought were a lovely piece... and for people that are looking to not go too crazy (I know that £615 is quite an outlay still), I think it's a great piece. No, a fantastic piece. It hits hard in the bass and is nicely detailed. Maybe not as revealing as having balanced armatures throughout... but live, I'm not sure you'd even notice. So, in short, when I say aim for a quad as a minimum, I think this dual dynamic (with balanced armature) would make a good option also. It's tuned to really reproduce those lows too. I like it. A LOT! So these are the UE6s with the pearloid finish on them. Not my fave but look better in the flesh than the pic. Note the new Bax linum cable. Very light... very nice. These are the UE Lives... and I absolutely love the funky finish on these.... Have to say, out of UE, 64 and JH, I always think that UEs look the nicest! Especially their chrome and brushed alu finishes.

Musicman Stingray 5 Replacement Scratchplate
EBS_freak replied to tonyf's topic in Accessories and Misc
What kind of plate are you looking for Tony? Martin Sims probably made a bunch for Stingrays in his time. -
I bought a KT bluetooth cable to have a bit of a play. 11 quid off amazon. Works really well to be honest... but for casual music listening, latency would prevent use for live. So they are going to be sitting on my KZs for now - although they will fit on other dual pin IEMs. Personally, I would file down the neck of the connector though, so the pins go deeper into the socket. On KT's inears, there is a ridge around the connector which interfaces with their connector... but it looks like it's unique to them. 5 mins with a file would get rid of them.
