Sounds like a case of sack it off. You have a PA. You are a very attractive prospect for existing bands... or in an ideal position to start again and be more critical when it comes to hiring. Life too short for that kind of shizzle. Enjoy the inevitable bad mouthing though if you do decide to uproot.

Is this another bassferret thread?

That's just baiting now.

I must have about 1000 Gregorian chants down.

I think the original question should be... how many songs that are not derived from a standard 12 bar blues progression can you play...?

There's an Ashdown jacket too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H-M-Biker-Grey-Woollen-Jacket-size-10-GREAT-CONDITION/292426740927?hash=item4415fdf4bf:g:W84AAOSwhplabOLu

Hang on... Markbass. Ugly? Maybe they do look like they lifted their image from Tonka toys... but there's some far uglier cabs out there.

D5 seems to be a very good mic - theres a band with that use them across all the vocalists and they seem to be very consistent in their performance. I dont recall ever having any battles with feedback - mind you, this particular band runs a silent stage with the exception of the drums. Oh and the other great things about those mic - they don't break the bank. The more and more mics that I use, the more I am turned off Shure. The 58 and 58a really don't do it for me - although I do like a 57/a on the snare. The majority of my vocal mics are 935s and 945s. The 965 tends to be a bit on edge unless we are talking big stages. Mind you, I find that when using all condensers as vocal mics. I tend to think that they are more hassle than they are worth because all the extra air and clarity you end up rolling off anyway, especially if there's a kit behind the singer. Historically my fave dynamic was the Heil PR45 but I am more turned on to the sounds of the OM5 and OM7 from Audix. They are ridiculously good on loud stages - unfortunately they tend to come up a substantially higher price. I'm really impressed by the Audix range... and very tempted to change my drum mic setup to Audix too.

I'm intrigued. What vocal mics do people use and why? Im guessing the 58 will make a strong appearance.... but the question remains, why the 58?

I I doubt it has anything to do with needing money. For example Frida got 75 million in addition to her own Anna based wealth when her husband von Plauen passed. I think all of them are earning enough from royalities (no pun intended) to not be caring about the money aspect.

Agreed - the wired connection is always something that should be available to you. Get out of jail card for that time you know stuff is going to go wrong. Links to Amazon posted above in my earlier post if anybody looking to hardwire!

I know! - I'm not too mad keen on the response curve but I guess the proof is in the eating (although I don't think eating IEMs are the tastiest things to be consuming). Certainly got to be a better option than a 215 or M6 - at least these have a chance of being a bit more meaty... and the inclusion of the dynamic is nice.

Already have. Just cant be arsed to take it to gigs!

Quite possibly - I think it's one of those pedals that you have to spend a lot of time with and have the right bass. Some people get some very results - I personally find it a bit glitchy for my liking. A dedicated synth wins - but then where's the fun in that?

I think you're gonna get a very split opinion on that one!

I think the problem with entry level digital is that manufacturers are trying to deliver something at a cut price. Look at the XR12. Incredibly feature rich and unbelievably cheap. It has a built in router. Now given that a typical quality router would cost nearly half the selling price of the xr12 you can see where the savings have been made. Prosumer desks haven't even got routers built in. It's merely a means of getting people going. Of course people can expect too much. Sometimes I think it would be better if routers didn't come bolted onto mixers out the box full stop!

Well, this looks quite promising.

The Allen and Heath QU is a great mixer! Big fan of A&H - as you can probably tell with the GLD80 mention (it's just a bit big to carry around with all the external stage boxes for smaller gigs) Anyway - the Alto gear is great, especially for the money. Having looked at the Alto 1604, I see that it has inserts available to you... there's nothing stopping you cabling out to the UI12 and using the auxes and main outs as fx processors (with hard pans on the outs of the mains) - this will certainly supercharge your Alto with kit you already own. (Kind of the same software based fx processing approach as using Waves multirack I guess). Talking of which - and I don't know how much of a gear head that you are - if you have a multi input sound card and a decent computer, you could run some processing via Live Professor... so you have the simplicity of faders but with the additional functionality of some heavyweight processing plugins. Anyway... I guess it's got to that point where I'm geeking out again with regards to all the above... But its a shame you didn't go the Behringer route because you could have added some physical faders with the X Touch. Just looking at your initial post though, I do think you may be going backwards going analogue - for example, to properly EQ a kick drum, you'd want a minimum of EQ, compression and most importantly, a gate.

Your bass. Whatever makes you happy!

Although I have to say, I prefer the HD350 to the HD360 - they changed something in the top end, that for me, doesn't quite work as well.

From https://www.zoom.co.jp/B3n-update-Dec2017 For users of the B3n, Zoom Guitar Lab offers monthly updates featuring new Amp+Cabinet combinations, Stompboxes, and preset patches.

It will be interesting to hear - as alot of the "famous" EBS sound comes from the Proline cabs.
