[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1509637275' post='3400516'] Need to get my 1964 V8s cleaned. Over time, bits of wax have accumulated in the ports. The cleaning tool supplied has been semi successful but it's managed to push bits of wax further into the ports. Can't actually get to some of it now and I'm worried it's starting to affect the output of some of the drivers. Any ideas? [/quote] Hearing aid vac. 64 actually sell one on their site. EDIT - here it is - https://www.64audio.com/product/Jodi-Vac-Consumer

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1509632965' post='3400471'] Have just pulled the trigger on a pair of UE900s. [/quote] Naughty. Next question... colour scheme... design? (As you know, thats the hardest decision to make)

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1509632433' post='3400463'] How long does the reshell take to do? Could really do with a pair of 900s as a spare and getting them reshelled would make em more useful for travelling and work where I don't want to risk losing the V8s. [/quote] I think his took 3 or 4 weeks to turn around.

You would typically fill in a "Foreign Shipper's Declaration of US Goods returned form" - something along the lines of this - http://images.fedex.com/downloads/jp/contact/cf3311.pdf When I returned goods, I attached it to the package itself and sent a copy via email to the manufacturer. In the description, specify the goods and underneath that, the statement "returning for repair" and "9801.00.1055" (this is the HTS code for U.s. Goods Provided For In Chapter 85, Others, Returning, Without Having Been Advanced In Value Or Improved In Condition By Any Process). I also tend to put my phone number on as the sender and the destination address and phone number (which should be on the package anyway). I've done this plenty of times. Went through no problem, no customs problems. On return to the UK, the manufacturer should be clued up enough to do the same for bringing it back into the UK. As stated above, the only chargeables will be components, postage and bench time and not the cost of the unit itself. With regards to insurance - cover it at it's full cost. Hope this helps.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1509631756' post='3400453'] Very tempted to get mine done. I find getting the right tips for fit and isolation is crucial, and can't get better fit than going for a reshell I guess. [/quote] Bang on. Once you have customs, you'll realise that a universal with tips is always a compromise! It can take a little while to get the customs to sit properly in your ears... but once youve figured out how to insert them (for some people it will take pulling the outer ear to see the customs deep into the ear canal), the seal... the fit and the isolation... is second to none.

Indie? Surely it's jeans, Cons and a Fred Perry polo all the way?

GB Spitfires are my first love. I have two - a flash bastard one and a coffee table one. They play absolutely perfectly for what I want - low action, set up perfectly. The sound of them is something that I love... and I know the preamp inside out and know how to get all the sounds I would want to get instinctively with the controls on the preamp combined with the various techniques I draw upon when playing. I kinda flirt with the idea of other basses... but ultimately I know I will always favour my comfortable slippers.

[quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1509626204' post='3400391'] I'm wanting to get my UE900s reshelled. I got them earlier this year through the Custom IEM Company. Is that where he had his reshelled? Thanks in advance [/quote] Yes - they went to Paul at the Custom IEM Company - he deals with it all and they get reshelled in good ole Florida at Inearz. They have done a great job and the whole process was hassle free.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1509630109' post='3400429'] Not guilty. [/quote] Apologies! I thought I was replying to Jakester. Ha, look at me. Deaf and blind.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1509623690' post='3400360'] Please educate me, surely pumping volume through IEM is the same as using in ear headphones at high volume which is widely believed to contribute to hearing loss. [/quote] I think that if you look through the IEM thread in the accessories section of this site, you will see that I am possibly the biggest supporter of quiet stages with IEM use at sensible volumes in an attempt to stop people playing at idiotic volumes and destroying their hearing. You will see me on loads of ear plug threads and IEM threads. I think you missed the bit where the tongue was placed firmly in cheek. My statement about seven shades though... It's still true though...

Gosh.

Mic up their kit... give them IEMs... and then pump them a mix at a deafening volume. Curiously enough, they aren't so keen on smacking seven shades outta them...

Anybody on here waiting on a Woojer?

The Pensas I played in NYC gave me sleepless nights... until I convinced myself I really didn't need one. I've only played one Suhr bass. Again, lovely bass... but didn't really speak to me any more than any other J bass. Their guitars on the other hand...

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1509542841' post='3399758'] That's banished forever, total junk. [/quote] How did Jim ever agree to that?!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1509463212' post='3399113'] I have no part in Mic lights, if they appear I can cope but if they don't then that's cool, one less plug [/quote] It's when the Elvis mic makes an appearance that things go to shizzle.

As above... or if you fancy a project.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-XI6doQWIM For that length of cable, you shouldn't be able to hear any difference between a balanced mic run vs unbalanced jack run. Having said that, I don't know what the units are - but they may be expecting a balanced connection over a jack using a TRS jack. Have you got any further info about the components?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1509394869' post='3398625'] Two tops with enough heft to not require subs hence the 1x12 in a fairly large venue barely on tickover. Two powered monitors that can be used as tops in an emergency. Two stands and a hidden mixer/iPad. That's it job done. [/quote] Leaves plenty of room to carry the mic lights.

It's got to be getting towards that time...

Best - Kemper for sure.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1509450820' post='3398975'] Actually the issues generally arise because of placement by the users and other wi-fi frequencies . a lot of bands tend to place the box at the back of the stage which is usually cluttered with cabs, cables and other stuff.... place in line of sight as you would with most RF equipment and you will have much better results. [/quote] I was going to go into this - it wouldn't surprise me if there guys running 2.4Ghz wireless packs which given, there's only 3 channels free from inter-modulation, 1, 3 and 11... leaves things open to interference. Similarly, if you are in a venue with wifi, or particularly somewhere with multi wifi pops and repeaters etc, the likelihood of a problem is increased. Then, when you soundcheck, everything is ok... but then the punters come in with their phones constantly polling the airwaves looking for wifi access points... And of course, as crez points out, placement is kind. Sticking wifi points near any fader circuits, anything that generates large amounts of EM etc... it all adds to the problems. It's no different to co-coordinating wireless mics really... you can't just throw up mics and iems etc on random frequencies and hope that they all talk fine. They won't.

FFS, I think it's about time we stop talking about sexism and the like and all have a Diet Coke break. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdrE1VMxzoE

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1509448009' post='3398933'] OK, but what I thought I had implied was that either Behringer should fit a decent WiFi router in the first place, or dispense with it altogether and just have the RJ45 socket for either a direct computer connection or an external router. Out of interest what is the recommended external router for rock-solid WiFi connectivity in a professional set up? [/quote] I dont think that anybody is disagreeing with that. I suspect that the tooling is all there for the mass production of the product... and it's selling by the bucket load... so I guess they are not bothered about upgrading the unit. In terms of professional setups - there is not industry standard... the key point is that whatever router is chosen has the ability to add external coax cables to get the aerials out of the rack that the router is undoubtedly mounted in. Whether the router is rack mountable or not, is Cisco, Ubiquiti or whatever, or even the SOHO type of products from Netgear, DLink etc...as long as the aerials are external and provide the required range, things are usually not an issue. In reality, in the industry, the majority of big gigs are still mixed from a console... but the ipad helps speed up tasks predominately in the monitoring world where the engineer can walk the stage and be next to the artists on stage. Once the gig has started, the monitor engineer is typically back behind a console. The sole ipad mixing experience is defo geared mostly towards the consumer/prosumer market. You aren't going to see the likes of the XR18 at pro level "touring" gigs for FOH or monitoring duties...
