It's good when you find a drummer that's prepared to move with the times and at the very least try new technology rather than simply dismiss it. I guess the same could be said for many other musicians. Dave

When i notice mine it stops if i bite down with my back teeth but comes right back when i release again. It gets more noticeable if i have any sinus problems which is quite regular. It never bothers me too much and more noticeable at night when i first go to bed. Def the more i think about it the worse it seems to be. I've been trying to stop thinking for many years 😂 I also have the ACS plugs but only use if a band is getting a bit loud. Most bands i play in have learned to play at lower volumes thru much persuasion from me. Some drummers have problems playing quiet tho. Mine started when i bent down to adjust a floor pedal at exact same time the drummer decided to test his kit and hit a crash cymbal right next to my right ear. My hearing has been tested every 2-3 yrs thru my work since mid 80's and i always had one frequency lower in my right ear than others. As i aged my hearing deteriorated slightly and that one frequency got lower and i think that's a contributing factor to noticing the tinnitus more. I only have it in my right ear. My right ear was always the one that got painful when flying if cabin pressure changed quickly when landing. Not so much with modern planes but back in 80's it was regularly a painful experience flying. I really need to start wearing my plugs all the time. To be fair i've had it from 2012 and its never really changed or got worse. Dave

I've started using my mfx unit so receiver is now on floor but transmitter is on my strap near the bridge button end. Hopefully it wont be an issue there. Dave

Excellent reply @Phil Starr That helped a lot. Dave

That's better @Bilbo

Happy face there 😂 Dave

We used to be 240V with EU being 220V so it was agreed to go to 230V to standardise AFAIK. Dave

what's the x1.4 Steve ? I've always looked at it as for every 250W power load its 1A.

From memory a ring main will typically have a 32A circuit breaker and the load on the sockets will be shared evenly around the ring. When you use everything from one socket the limiting factor is the 13A fuse in the wall plug. Dave

It assists the audience in being a-tent-ive

You might have picked a pic where we can see you Rob 😀

Stop it. You're embarrassing me now 😁

I've obviously made quite an impression on you guys.

Bet you really enjoyed it. Dave

Brilliant Dave and congratulations all round. Dave

I have a 19" rack mounted mains surge protection unit with 6 sockets on it but i dont think it protects LIKE AN rcd. I think its more surge protection. Problem is i'm waiting on a new Mesa TT800 and will stop using my rack with Mpulse and Korg tuner. Dave

And easy to buy thru local Screwfix. Liking that one. Dave

What type are you using both RCD and ring mains tester unit. Just thinking it might be worth having something Dave

Just curious to know if anyone uses any mains protection more so in venues with suspect sockets etc. Was thinking of something you would plug into the venue socket and you then plug into the unit. Just curious. Dave

That's a young looking you in your avatar Dave 😀

Bass Direct gave me a decent trade price on my 2 Berg ae112 cabs against a Dingwall NG2. Dave

I would never have guessed that. They look quite impressive. I was thinking they were Ibanez but didn't want to say in case the were expensive boutique basses and i offended you. 😂 Dave

That one on left ooks very tasty/ What makes are they. Pick ups all look similar or same type. Dave

Nice one sir. Dave
