    Most custom IEMs will offer up to 24/25dB attenuation. Can they be used as ear protection? Yes. When used purely as ear protection - are they going to provide you with an experience where you'll be able to play and hear everything but at an attenuated volume? Probably not. Expect very little in the highs to get through. If you want an idea... put your fingers into your ears. Expect a similar resulting sound. The correct answer is, these are your ears and will need to be protected... invest in both setups.

    Its so your flag doesn't get a crease down the middle where the cabs would otherwise meet.

    Whut?! Nooooooo. Man, gonna miss that guy - was like part of the furniture round these parts. RIP OHM.

    I found this quite interesting... thought I'd share.

    ebay, etsy all that kinda thing.

    Surprises me that statement - the Kemper can pretty much nail any distortion/fuzz! It's the time based stuff it kinda struggles with

    One of my fave lines. Nice

    Bloomin' double post sw failure.

    @Al Krow - this is why it floats my boat.

    Theres quite a lot more to it though than the Lekato. And in terms of the stereo digital IEM market at that price point, they, as far as I am aware, are standing alone. Whilst they have the monopoly, they will be maximising on that opportunity. And whether you choose the Dante version or not, thats a dev/licensing cost which needs to be recovered.

    Now you've got me super interested. Where did you end up getting it from in the end?
  13. EBS_freak
    Cant really comment until I know how the connection to the aux was done. (Balanced/Unbalanced - length and type of cable etc). It doesn't surprise me if you are going over an unbalanced lead)

    Psst. Section 3.3

    I remember those pickups - Hanson (I seem to recall from the very bowels of my memory) were the makers? In fact, I seem to recall it may have been them who even bought out Lakland!

    Try putting a Boss pedal in between - if the pitch goes, a buffer will solve your problem.

    ...but on the other hand, you do get access to Ultranet, allowing you to go down a completely different route where the number of auxes no longer matter!

    This is because for some reason unknown to me, ACS don't take open mouth impressions themselves, or advise anybody to do so, using a one inch bite block. I'm guessing you fall into that camp re:closed mouth impression? Result? Seal breaks every time you open your mouth. Check 1.4.1 - I talk about the importance of an impression with a bite block in there.

    100% versatility in one bass is undoubtably the selling point.

    Why aren't they they more popular? Because very few people change the settings on their basses that much. Here's a few considerations. A MM pickup cuts through the mix differently to a P... and a J... etc etc. Most bassists will use a bass throughout a whole gig for consistency. Is it really a deal breaker to stick with the same bass? You'll soon pee off the soundman if you are changing pickup configs all the time. And to be honest, most people find "their" sound and stick with it. I do wonder how many of these Simms pickups end up being left in the same mode once the user founds the tone most pleasing to them. If recording, use a J... use a P... use a MM... whilst the Simms pickups will do a good emulation, they aren't 100% authentic... despite what people will say. Why? Pickup positioning, coil spacing (e.g. the offset of the coils in a P pickup is not represented properly) and the major factor, is that even if a coil around magnet is not engaged, the magnetic field still is... and having an influence on the resulting output from the pickup. Again, good enough maybe... and if you are jumping on a plane to a recording session, you may like to have something which gets you in the ball park (and lets face it, studios manipulate the recording sound so much, you could argue any bass in the ballpark of the tone you are hunting for will do. Its similar with coil tapping. You can switch humbuckers to single coil... they kinda single coil... but they never sound like a true single coil. But possibly "good enough" - especially in a live situation as opposed to a recording session for example. It is a swiss army knife - it will do the jobs of many to a good enough standard. It kinda does everything in one package but not necessarily as good as the real McCoy. But good enough and being versatile may swing it your way. Here's some other thoughts - if you are routing a bass, you are committed to these these pickups... or may be left with some ugly looking routes if you change your mind on the pickups un the future. I would wager this is the true reason that you don't see many for sale second hand. What do you fill the gap with? They aren't really stealth. Those LEDS really do stand out. This is a deal breaker for some - especially if you are type of person where the aesthetics of putting gaffa tape over the light is off limits. But the concept is cool - and works to a certain extent. So if you like it, go with it. Scratch that itch and find out - you'll always be thinking about them if you dont. You may want to try them in a beater bass first though, before routing your prized bass.

    Are you running IEMs direct off the auxes?
  22. EBS_freak
    Opinions may vary but... Hifi - is effectively FRFR. In traditional bass thinking, the highs are rolled off - so not hifi.
  23. EBS_freak
    Well, it's no wonder that your IEMs aren't fitting. The tips are far too big.
  24. EBS_freak
    For an idea of what a good seal sounds like... put your fingers as deep as you can into your ears to block out as much sound as you can. If the seal on your inears don't sound comparable (or better), the fit isn't good.
