djc63 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Done two gigs so far with it and to be honest on both occasions I was unaware of anything coming out of it unless I lent right into it, but to be fair, both very small stages so standing right up close to my amp so no problem hearing it. Does sound really good up close to the earbox though,detailed and crystal clear which was useful at some points. Having said all that, my overall sound did seem better than usual, clearer and more defined so maybe there is something in it. It just wasn't how I expected it to work I suppose. Next weeks gig is a pub we've done half a dozen times and I've struggled every time with my sound there so that will be a good test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The pub test you are going to do is probably the most useful. A real common bass nightmare situation that the IEM fans already have a solution for. £500.00 for the decent IEMs that do the job or just under £200.00 for the Earbox.....

Happy Jack Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The problem with using IEMs at a pub gig is not the £500. It's the endless succession of regulars asking you why you were listening to your mp3 player while you were supposed to be gigging ...

Andy J B Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I've just bought one for our drummer for small gigs with no drum monitor. He's absolutely thrilled with it. It's on a round heavy base mic stand about 2 feet away from him at ear level. He no longer has to put up with just the muddy bass frequencies when my bass cabs are facing forward. Maybe Phil Jones has missed this as a selling point! I use a Phil Jones M500 head and two 8B cabs.

Cuzzie Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Any feedback from the pub gig? Any more info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Dredging this thread up in case anyone could help. Would this be suitable for practice level volume with a Bass Buddy? I have a Line6 Studio 110 which is small - but still gets in the way. Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
