    It was pretty cool! 2nd largest crowd I've performed for (22k) Music festival in Belfast, 45 minute headline slot. Used G&L L2000 into HX Stomp and JH Audio phones. Sounded great! Had a near miss with the pyro tho like an idiot! VID_23720430_022045_154.mp4

    Highly recommend Mark and team at Bass Direct. Had an issue with Backbeat G2 not charging properly, and Mark arranged a new unit to be sent along with a paid returns label for the faulty unit - no questions asked. Top customer service. Well impressed!

    Just checked out Bergs and the new NVX/NXT series look great! Thanks for the recommendation

    Yes, as per post - it's very specifically a front-ported vertically oriented 2x10 cabinet that I am looking for
  5. acidbass
    To my ears, front porting sounds better. I have had the opportunity in the past to directly compare front ported with rear ported, and the front porting always wins. Also helps massively if a cab is in a 'live in' flightcase when touring, where rear ports would be blocked by the case itself. There might be data to suggest otherwise but there is nothing to my ears that sounds better than luscious bass spilling out of a port in the same direction as the speaker is projecting.

    Cheers guys but as far as I can make out, neither of those boxes are front-ported. Appreciate the recommendations tho

    Does such a beast exist?

    I have to say that since upgrading to the KZ ZAR's, I find the listening experience altogether more enjoyable.

    Absolutely agree 1000% with this assessment of Rick Beato. A true dinosaur.

    The difference between the small time and the big time is £50 a night!
  11. acidbass
    Yeah I'd buy a standard 45-105 set, drop tune it then buy a single extra string from the manufacturer.
  12. acidbass
    Great basses!
  13. acidbass
    Interested to see how this turns out!

    I wonder if replacing the bridge with a Badass or Kickass might be a worthy upgrade. Those stock bridges are quite poor.
  15. acidbass
    I'm tempted. The pickup alignment actually looks good for a change, even the EBMM Darts have that weak G pickup design consistently throughout the MM, J and P. Nice to see it shipping with EBMM flats - that's around £45 of the cost accounted for already.

    Hey guys! Ordered a box of these for my band mates and have a few spare pairs I don't need New and sealed Well-respected brand of budget IEM earphones which compete easily with household name brands - lots of info on these in the IEM Bible thread! 5 drivers per side I'm asking £40 per pair including P&P to you in the UK - payment by Paypal or Bank Transfer is cool! PM me if interested - when they're gone, they're gone! Thanks Danny

    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!
  19. 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!

    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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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!
  25. 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.
