    A business account is a bit complex, probably best to avoid that route. How about a Revolut/Monzo online/app account that everyone has access to? You can then use virtual debit cards to pay for band-related stuff instead of everyone having a physical card.

    Time for a new set! Within 2 or 3 gigs they will deaden nicely. No other strings sound like La Bellas to my ears. Just put a set on a short scale Hofner Beatle Bass and the tone is unreal!
  3. acidbass
    Likewise. I use a HPF/LPF block which I suppose simulates a cab's sonic range, and a different preamp depending on the gig (Zeroamp or Regal). Very happy with the tone!
  4. acidbass
    I've been thinking about doing the same as you and have similar questions about method. Looking forward to some informed responses. Your vid looks good by the way!

    I like the nickel Lo Riders - they seem to have a midrange fundamental that is just missing with other brands of strings. No idea why, possibly my imagination, but I always return to them.
  6. acidbass
    Yes, multiple times. I blame congested wifi - never had any issues in smaller venues but it's the larger ones where you get the most benefit out of going wireless. I bought the system as I saw Simon McBride was using the same thing on the Deep Purple tour but just not quite confident in it.
  7. acidbass
    I use the GLX16D+ and have experienced some wifi issues in larger venues (5k+) with lots of wifi around. A lot of the pros seem to use Shure Axient - I think that's my next move for reliability.

    I owned the TH500 and didn't like it at all. Just wasn't clean enough sounding. It didn't have anywhere near enough volume for me before a horrible digital distortion ensued. Also, as with all Aguilar amps - the 40hz Bass control is simply redundant as anything other than a cut, as this is much too low a level to be used effectively. Again, all my opinion - you might have a better experience!
  9. acidbass
    This would be the last time I ever darkened the door of said venue, and well done for naming and shaming so that others can avoid the embarrassment.
  10. acidbass
    I can confirm this. I used the SE215s in the past and much prefer the KZs for less half the cost.
  11. acidbass
    Yes me too, looking forward to hearing them. For the cost it's worth the risk. I'm buying on a recommendation and they appear to have one extra balanced armature (5) compared to the ZS10 Pro X (4) so maybe that might be good for us low enders!
  12. acidbass
    My ZS10s died on Saturday night at a gig - I think it might be the cable, but after 3 years service in my pub duo I think it's about time for a new set! I went for the KZ ZSX this time on a friend's recommendation. 6 drivers per side. Bass is supposed to sound very good through them. This time I also added a braided 8 core cable for some extra reliability. Total cost was $49 for the ZSX and $31 for the cable. Very confident that I will have a banging set of phones for around £70 all in (I also recommend the Comply foam tips, Sonicfoam also supposed to be very good). I usually use JH Audio Roxannes for my touring band and have been very happy with the KZs for pub gigs.

    Why do they never make basses in normal White or Olympic White? Strewth!

    Edgar Winter bassist and songwriter Dan Hartman (who played on Edgar Winter's monster rock hit "Frankenstein" from 1973) designed this $5000 silver “Bass Suit” in 1974. The controls are on the sleeve attached to an aluminum plate. The guitar neck ends in a Crescent Moon and the suit itself has moons on it. “The bass suit was actually one of the first cordless guitars in existence, and I invented it. It was built right into this silver bodysuit so it looked as though the bass was coming out of my body, and the volume and tone knobs were on the sleeve.” “When it worked it was great, but the tunings were a little strange, plus I can’t tell you how many times I got shocked. It wound up being just one more thing that we had to worry about on tour: ‘Well, I wonder if this will work tonight.’ After a while I couldn’t stand wearing it anymore so I gave it up.”
