    Any suggestions for a pouch to fit a really wide strap? I use Gruvgear Solostrap Neo and hope there's an option to suit!

    Just bought the 16+ for my board. I saw Simon McBride using one with Deep Purple - a good enough endorsement for me! Will report back with findings

    We all went to different companies. A couple to JH, UE, 64 Audio etc depending on individual preference and need.

    I'm not a fan of the Aguilar TH stuff personally. I could never get a good tone from a TH500 - always too much drive/distortion even with Drive control completely off. Obviously this might be a desirable tone depending on your style but for me it wasn't clean enough.

    EBMM finally fixed the pickup alignment with the Specials, after over 40 years of a poor design. The current Rays are by far the best EBMM have made for this reason.

    Do the controls have a centre detent for flat?

    I didn't. I persisted with them for 6 months or more but just could not sacrifice any more gigs with terrible sound quality. I tried everything possible with EQ and even tried amending my bass tone to suit, which in hindsight was the wrong thing to do. Having went from a set of UE11 to these, the difference was stark. I then moved to JH Roxannes and have never looked back. Tight bass and crisp highs with no potential for hearing loss! The Lugs ended up in the bin and now I use a set of KZ ZS10 as a backup which sound better IMO. EDIT - I should add that I really wanted to like the Lugs as the guy is local to me (around 40 minute drive) and I loved the idea of a genuine contender in the IEM market being a local company. Sadly it didn't work out like that. Just my own experience!

    I have to say my experience with Lugs earphones leaves a lot to be desired. While the fit of the moulds and seal were both good - the sound was awful. I bought a set of quad driver phones and the bass just sounded like mush. I found I could never hear what I wanted, despite the phones running at ear-bleeding levels. It seemed like all the drivers were just thrown into the earphones without any tuning/crossovers to make them sound good. All 6 of my band have since moved on from Lugs for similar reasons.

    I would love to have loved this but I can see a couple of reasons why I wouldn't buy one: 1. A Bass control centred at 40hz is surely only usable as a cut. Boosting 40hz would just be mush. Makes it a bit redundant IMO. 80hz or thereabouts would have been much more musical. 2. I can't think of any reason why I would want to engage Bright/Deep mid-set that would require the use of a footswitch. Perhaps a mute would have been better.

    I feel this needs to be highlighted and appreciated. I roared laughing! Hats off to you sir 😆

    Here in Norn Iron, you could survive on function band playing but certainly not make what I would call a good living. Functions here might pay £200 per gig, so after tax/fuel/misc expenses etc you would need to be playing 10 functions a month to pay the same as a minimum wage job would. 10 functions a month might be possible in Summer months and around Christmas but you will be doing virtually nothing in Jan/Feb/Nov etc. Anyone I know who does this type of work always has something else on the side for bread and butter.

    Fond memories of BW! Nostalgia when I see that turquoise/blue colour scheme anywhere nowadays
  13. acidbass
    Sounds like she might be very good at playing bass but not quite as good at singing or songwriting. It happens!
  14. acidbass
    One of the highlights for me too. I find myself preferring watching bands I don't know, over the ones I do. Obviously it's a mixed bag but this year featured some really cool stuff.

    If you don't mind me asking - which parts of this are genuine Pino Palladino sig Fender, and which are replacements?
  16. acidbass
    Seen a Gretsch short scale (£339 brand new!), a few Fender CS Jaguars with humbuckers, and a white Starcaster bass. Didn't watch the full set tho!
  17. acidbass
    Not bass related, but how many of the singers' voices sound absolutely knackered? Even the younger artists - I expected it from Axl!

    Click tracks are very common on the touring circuit and very necessary as very often lighting, visuals and even guitar patch changes are synced to automatically change at an exact point in a song/live show. Backing tracks however are a bit of a bone of contention. I wonder why artists don't hire an extra session cat or two to cover parts, particularly at something like Glasto.

    SO many more Ricks than I anticipated! Is there a negative trend in the typical festival bass - the short scale Fender (Mustang etc)
  21. acidbass
    I used a 3 PRO at a gig in Brisbane recently and found it very underpowered when used with a SVT 810.

    Hey Dicey! Welcome to the forum. Plenty of guys from this side of the water on here

    Just caught their Radio 1 Big Weekend set (the full thing is on Youtube) and was very impressed, having never seen/heard them before. Lovely polished pop music with a bit of an interesting dynamic.
  24. acidbass
    I boost a little bass and a little treble on the amp and just use the tone control to suit. Flats give me the perfect tone with very little work.
  25. acidbass
    How's the tone? Looks great! Did you get hit with customs/import duty etc?
