Bloody Guitarists! Band moving to in ears. Help!
beely replied to MrPring's topic in General Discussion
A bit of a coincidence this post. Just last weekend our guitarist decided to dispense with his amp in favour of going direct into the PA from his Line6 Pod hd500. On the first night, it took us a wee while to get in-ear and wedge monitors sorted out, but once that was done, I have to say it was preferable to him using an amp. I would also say, to my ear, it didn't seem to affect his guitar sound or how he played. I'd also say that it isn't so much about a silent stage; more a controlled-volume stage. If the wedges and in-ears are right, then it still sounds like you are playing in a band. Perhaps its not for everyone, but it seems to be working for us. -
Bass-related I suppose....... A QSC KS112 sub for my PA. Perfectly matched to the QSC 10.2 tops we use. Didn't notice too much difference tbh, possibly because I was simply trying to get through the gig so I could go back to my sick bed. 🙄 Amazing how difficult it can be to sing and cough at the same time.

Dealing with feedback with an uncompromising drummer
beely replied to geoham's topic in General Discussion
Seems to me you are seeking a technical solution to a human problem. In fairness to your drummer (I know, I know 🙄), perhaps his use of IEM's and controlling his own mix is preventing him from hearing, quite literally, the scale of the problem. The feedback issue you are experiencing may not be simply attributed to mic volume alone. As someone who also does sound from the stage, I fully appreciate your situation. I sometimes feel that my attention is split to the point I feel I'm doing neither job as well as I would like. I hope you get things sorted out. -
Much to my surprise, I'm very much enjoying "Shut up and dance". (Walk the Moon)

Hi. I think that the asking price for this amp is quite fair so I'm not willing to reduce it. The replies regarding the wiring for the bridged mode are spot on. I wouldn't be happy sending it just in the flight case. I'd put some extra protection, heavy cardboard or bubble-wrap, on the outside. Cheers for now. -
Hi. Just about recovered. It's been two steps forward, one-and-a-half steps back. The specs say 1600W @4 Ohms (1200W continuous). At 8 Ohms it's 1200 Watts (900W continuous) The barefaced cab I have is the 12 Ohm version so probably not getting the full power possible. Still pretty loud though. As for reliability, even though I've had it a long time, I didn't use it that much. As I mentioned in the OP, it has been cleaned, serviced and repaired after many years in storage. I've been using it in the house for the last wee while, just to check it out over a period of time, and everything seems to be working fine. Cheers.

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I've been laid up with a bit of man-flu. I used a Barefaced Retro Two 10. Cheers.

I have finally decided to sell my SVT-4 Pro. Despite a reluctance to sell a great-sounding amp, the reality is, if I don’t move it on it could well spend another six years in storage. It has been recently cleaned, serviced and repaired by Alan Short (Audiocraft Services) who is based in Kenny’s Music in Dunfermline. The input socket and tuner out socket have been replaced, as has one of the ECC83/12AX7 valves. Any internal corrosion and all the rear sockets have also been cleaned. There is a dent in the front upper right-hand corner, present when I bought this about twelve years ago. I’ve included a Speakon cable wired 1+/2+ for the bridged mono output. I will also include a PAT certificate and updated sticker, kindly provided by the drummer in my band, who does that sort of a thing for a living. Amp comes in a flight case. Couriered delivery will be at cost, up to a maximum of £30. Happy for this to be picked up locally or, assuming the distance isn’t too great, meet half-way ‘ish for fuel cost. I think I've covered everything but happy to answer any questions Serial No. is:- ASK-XKB-0100 My understanding of this is as follows: ASK = SVT 4 PRO X = UK K = 1999 B = December Serial number :- 0100

I've decided it is time to move on things I no longer use. First in what may turn out to be a long list is this Faderport DAW Controller. (v2) Excellent condition; comes in original packaging with all accessories. (Power supply, USB cable but no manual) Postage included in price. -
Currently compiling a list of no-longer-required music-related items that will be put up for sale in the near future. Then, a chilled afternoon preparing for an unexpected visit to Perth Concert Hall to see Mike and the Mechanics. (My daughter-in-law has taken slightly unwell and can't go).

Oh my goodness, it appears I may have led a bit of a sheltered life. I bought the Ric new in 1978. It was my only bass until the Mustang (current gigging bass) took my fancy around 2014. Hayman Fender Gibson Rickenbacker Fender

I had the good fortune to see Evanescence in Oslo earlier this year. Fantastic bass playing (and singing) from Emma Anzai of Australian band, Sick Puppies.

I have two basses; a Rickenbacker 4001 and a 2006 MIJ Mustang. I know it may seem odd but, sound-and-playing-wise, I’d be hard-pressed to make a choice of one over the other. Emotionally it would be the Ric as I’ve had it a very long time. However, the Mustang is lighter, which I like. It is also shorter, which our singer, who stands to my left, appreciates as she’s less likely to have her ear clipped every five minutes. 😇

Done.

A few years ago at an open mic, the guy who was performing started playing Ryan Adams’ “When stars go blue”. I decide to get up on stage and give him some accompaniment on the bass. He has his capo on fret three, playing in “C”. That makes it Eb but hey, I’m a bass player; I can do this. I decide to ease my way gradually into the song, making it look like it was all part of the plan. When I started playing, something sounded not-quite-right. I quickly realised it was me, playing in the wrong key. It was an honest mistake; one that anyone could make. I mean, who would think that a guitar player using a capo would be tuned down a half-step.
