    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?
  8. EBS_freak
    Opinions may vary but... Hifi - is effectively FRFR. In traditional bass thinking, the highs are rolled off - so not hifi.
  9. EBS_freak
    This isn't sold. One of the pair has sold. One complete setup is still available.
  10. EBS_freak
    Well, it's no wonder that your IEMs aren't fitting. The tips are far too big.
  11. 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.
  12. EBS_freak
    and sold!
  13. EBS_freak
    Paul at custom IEM company - don’t go anywhere else! He deals in the best.

    http://www.timetravelaudio.co.uk/shop/components/switches/foot-switches/3pdt-foot-switch-illuminated-type-with-led-ring-colour-options-on-led-cap/ Just one example The keywords in your search need to include "illuminated" and "led" plus then your choice of footswitch type.

    Had a proper listen. That's not too shabby that - stereo, digital... and not as expensive as the top performing analogue stereo counterparts. As long as the RF is stable, I don't reckon you've done too bad there. And don't forget, theres also the stereo headphone amp built into it, so theres your wired bail out in an emergency option without impacting your wiring at the desk.
  16. EBS_freak
    Thanks for doing that - I will get my headphones out and give them a proper comparison at some point. I'm on a phone at the moment, so I don't think it would be a fair indication as a phone gives you no bass response anyway! On phone listen, they sound quite close.
  17. EBS_freak
    Met up this morning. All good! sold!
  18. EBS_freak
    @dave_bass5 - Could you do a recording through the device into a DAW? The same thing direct, and one via the wireless? It would be good to hear the quality of the audio.
  19. EBS_freak
    No advantages as such - apart from smaller footprint. With P2, you can't do balanced stereo and can't do a mix of the two channels.
  20. EBS_freak
    Conversely, it could be the Lekato causing the other systems to drop out.
  21. EBS_freak
    I have seen this before, it's a rebadge of the MiPro 2.4 system and I have toyed with getting one. I have no experience of it.. but the Mipro 5.8 digital system gets some great reviews and if you scroll back you'll see how good that sounds. Now, I know that doesn't necessarily translate between models... but as I say, if Thomann did the 5.8 system, I'd buy one straight off to try. Maybe the 2.4 is worth a shot for you? You could always send it back if it didn't suit (although I appreciate thats a semi pita)
  22. EBS_freak
    Ah... yes. Decent wireless <> cheap.
  23. EBS_freak
    I do, however given your email exists on a certain list that I'm seeing, you're new round these parts, I'm a bit reluctant to take this forward...
