I guess that's true. With some brands though, there's the evidence of justification of the pricing. Premium hardware, unique pickups and circuitry, highest grade woods, quarter sawn etc. Nowadays, it just seems to be anything out of the CNCed parts bin, get it through to the spray shop (hey, even if we sand through the finish, we'll put it out there at a discount anyway*). * I don't know why anybody would do that - because without the context, you'll have people looking at it, thinking that it's representative out of all the works that comes out their factory. I know a luthier who has an absolute killer bass that could be sold ten times over - but he daren't sell it because it was made of off cuts of wood. - It it was ever stripped of it's finish, it would bring all the other basses into question. Hence it's never been sold.

I just dont get the appeal, if I was spending 2.2k on a bass, it wouldn't be on a "watered down" version. Mind you, I'm watching Dan Lakin's efforts on Facebook too. It's all a bit bitsa basses - in that he gets the parts from somewhere, sends them off to get sprayed and sent to "his guy" to assemble them before sticking a crazy price tag on them. Seems like a decal has a lot of value these days.

@lushuk For on a budget, I simply wouldn't bother with budget wireless systems. They just aren't great. Just stick with wired.The two you mention, the PSM200, is a horrible sounding system with a poor compounder that sucks your bass and has a really unpleasant shrill top end... and the likelihood, is the limiter will just over compress the hell out your signal the whole night. There's a reason why you find these on the used market so often. As for the U4s, like the PSM200 they are mono, which may not be a deal breaker in itself - but the latency figure of 5ms may be cause for concern. If you have any digital devices in your signal path - like digital pedals and a digital desk, the cumulative latency may become an issue for you. I like to top off at a maximium of 7ms. I talk about this in section 2.4 - and specifically mention how the Xvive could be a problem as part of cumulative digital chain. Chances are, if you are looking for wireless, you are already wireless on your bass... which Im guessing is likely to be digital with at least somewhere between 2 and 8ms latency. If you must go wireless, shoot for a EW300 or PSM300 system, otherwise I really wouldn't bother.

Agreed - it's why I did a latest view on IEMS- compared to the 84 pages worth of The latter shows how things have progressed (and become much better and more affordable) - the end of the thread doesn't exactly track with the start.

Watching people get upset by the word dinosaur is totally hilarious.

ANOTHER restraining order...

The shame of it all is that nothing will change. They will keep changing their arm until they are told to shut up shop. Removing the vid is acknowledgement of there being a guilty party somewhere. Of course, the Internet never forgets.

We aren’t surprised, right?

A SC that may sway?

Isn't that because people run the pres flat out anyway?

Oh dear.

Thick as mince. Lol.

21/22/2017 - try catching up on the thread before commenting. I think I have covered off the DSP stuff a lot of time. I even put a video where there a cab where the response of the cab, through DSP, was shown to be flat - measuring using SMAART. Anyway, to address the speaker comment. It all comes down to economies of scale - PA speakers sold in higher numbers, therefore the price to performance ratio can be better on larger production lines. Yes, you can theoretically design FRFR passive cabs - but at a greater cost than you could by correcting a cab through DSP. Spoiler - a lot of the passive cabs that are advertised as FRFR - are from it.

She was probably the one person there that could have restored some sense of order.

I saw her and can hazard a guess what is going on. What I think we are seeing, is the the girl in the coat having got in early on the ticket front, securing ring side seats to get as close to the experience as possible. Gabrielle gets to the last song, you know, that Dreams one hit wonder thing that she dines out on - and all social distancing goes out the window. "Ah well, doesn't matter if we get chucked out now, we've seen the show now" mentality probably kicking in with all the meatheads on the front row and aisles (outside the gated areas). Complete f***wits.

Hardwick Hall need a good slapping - look at all this nonsense - They can not possibly manage that many people as clearly shown in the video. The FULLY TRAINED STEWARDS are clearly ineffective. I'm all for getting gigging back on it's feet - but this does not do anything to help the cause.

Because money.

Indeed. Will be watching how this one pans out.This venue has quite a bit planned in its calendar.

Working out that good then? The UK can’t be trusted to do anything right.

Excellent work.

Oh for sure. Maybe next time, I'll tap the tour manager on the shoulder... psst, you do realise you could get this off eBay much cheaper?

They're called submarines. I think.

Build quality, balanced outputs, encryption, range, RF stability and dual diversity, discrete tuning, more intermodulation free operating frequencies (more channels using less spectrum), low latency, dynamic range, IP rating, ethernet configuration for remote configuration and monitoring, international spares availability, digital outputs (e.g. Dante) for audio over IP... just some of the differences that come to mind!

Oh man. That brings back bad memories. I got covered in err... lube, baby oil or whatever it was... when I got caught in the "flicking of the di*k" routine whilst packing up my bass gear once. Hen parties. Not great.
