    Having done the superglue thing, I would not do it again. When I did want to adjust the screws I had superglued, I chewed the slot up trying to free it, they were stuck so hard. I ended up disassembling the bridge and heating up the stuck parts on my gas stove, to free them up then replaced the screws. Nail varnish is the way ahead!

    1. works fine but you'll still need ipad control over your mix 2. Overly complex for what you get 3. Fine if you wwant to stay wired using the headphone out of the P16M 4. This is what I do in the main, though mine looks like this

    If you’re using your stereo headphone out then you’ll need a 6.3mm TRS to dual XLR I think. The left input is likely to be mono only and if you use that you’ll need to set your receiver to dual mono mode. On my Sennheiser unit it’s called ‘focus’ mode.

    Perfectly sensible - that's exactly my set up. With the P16M I can mix on the fly withour resorting to a phone or tablet app or worrying about anyone else. I think with your curent setup you'd probably not need the P2, but it wouldn't do any harm to still use it. The only thing you'll need to be aware of is having a long enough CAT5 cable to go from the mixer to wherever you stand. I have a flat cable on a reel that does 15 metres or so. Oh and in the mixer you'll need to route each channel to a specified channel in the P16, then label the P16!

    I don't use the Phones out but I reckon it should be able to drive your wired IEMs. I don't use the P1 either - can that accept a stereo input as the benefit of stereo as discussed is huge?

    I think the Behringer unit is a rip off of the Allen and Heath ME500 version which will work with your SQ20, but I have no idea if they are interchangeable. I would bet not!

    Check out the Behringer P16M. It's a small 16 channel personal mixer that you can connect to your IEMs and you have full control over your IEM mix in stereo. I use one and it's superb, I just run a Cat 5 cable from the XR18 mixer to the P16M, connect that to my Sennheiser IEM transmitter and off I go. You can also get a distributor module that can feed the raw audio data to another eight P16M units so you don't have to use two aux channels per person in order to give everyone a stereo feed.

    Compound radius fretboard - 9.5" at the nut end, flattening to 14" at the bridge. It also has an asymmetric neck so the back of the neck is deeper on the bass side and shallower on the treble, hand rubbed oil finish.

    I've got two of the 5 HH deluxe (well one is an Elite but they're both the same). Brilliant guitars. I've also got a 5 string Jazz and a 5 String P but the Dimension can do it all. The body is smaller than a Jazz and the compound radius neck is the most comfortable 5 string neck I've ever played. So under rated because it's not a Jazz or Precision and people won't entertain anything else from Fender. If you can get a Deluxe or Elite HH model then I would defintely try it out. A grand is about right, but you should get a case with that. The Elites come with the new Fender ABS hard case, the Deluxes came with a G&G wooden case. One tiny niggle I have though is that there's not active/passive switch but that's about it.

    It won't increase pickup output. The output is the output. You need to adjust the pickups last, once you've got the relief and action sorted and you need to adjust them to get the sound you want. Starting with Fender's standard specs is ok, but then adjust by ear from there. To far away and you'll get a thin weak sound, too close and you'll get a dull muffled sound. If you don't have enough adjustment in pickup height then you need to consider replacing the foam underneath them, although given that it's relatively new you should not need to do this yet.

    Ok lots of things to check but you need to be a bit methodical. Get your neck relief sorted first, but give your adjustments a bit of time to settle. Then your string height, then your pickup height. I start low and slowly raise. If your strings are sounding dead at certain frets then check the strings first and then check your fret height with a straight edge. You might have a couple of high frets here and there. You’ll get there soon enough and be really happy!

    The Pro I and II range are very stable instruments and I’d be very surprised if there’s anything wrong. Just needs a proper setup with your choice of strings. And despite other opinions, I see nothing wrong with a shim in the pocket if you can’t get it exactly how you want it.

    Love mine still. Playing in your town on 6th Jan - come along and see it!

    Not too impressed with the Bassman or its cab but the AD200 is very nice and the Noble is really lovely..might use that as my preamp and see what it’s like.

    We’re running Ableton Live on a laptop. Stereo backing track on two channels, click on a third channel and cue on a fourth (the cue gives voice commands such as “intro 2 3 4” for us all to start and stop all together in time with the track). Start, stop and advance triggered by midi pedal. All goes in to a Behringer XR18 and each band member has stereo IEM feed. I have click panned left, cue panned right and the rest of the instruments somewhere in between. Sounds more complicated that it actually is and works really well.
