I sometimes play the Laurel and Hardy theme tune.

Manic Monday, by The Bangles - at the middle eight, it sounds like “All of my life, why did my mother have to kidnap Sacha Distel “

We have an XR18, and our vocalist and I use IEM’s. I just take an XLR from an aux port on the XR18 to a Behringer PM1. My in ear monitors are Cosmic Ears, and they simply plug in to the PM1 which attaches to my belt. Our system allows each of us to control our own personal mix using an app, which I have on my iPad. It works very well.

There is an excellent thread on in ear systems here- I have just recently got Cosmic Ears in ear monitors, and they are excellent.

The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread

Yes, EBS_freak is correct, it’s an app for the mixing desk, called XAirMonitorMix. I have an XLR cable running from an aux port on the mixing desk to the PM1. One thing to watch for, is you have to remember you are tethered to the XLR cable. Our vocalist uses the same set up and frequently forgets to unclip the cable at the break and tries to walk away, only to get yanked back by the cable! -
The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread

Ok, update as promised. I used my Cosmic Ears CE6Bs at last nights gig, first time using them at a gig. I use them plugged into a Behringer PM1, with an XLR cable plugged into the PM1 taken from the mixer. I also have an app on my iPad which allows me to adjust my personal monitor mix to my own requirements. Once I figured out I needed to turn the volume up on the PM1 at the sound check, I was getting lots of lovely punchy bass in my in ears, and was able to adjust the levels of our vocalists and guitar and drums, while making sure the bass was most prominent. A real bonus is the fact I had everything at a decent volume in my ears, thus protecting my hearing. I could still hear our keyboard player telling me we were skipping a song and telling which one was next, in between songs, so even though most ambient sound is taken out, I could still hear her. They were comfortable to wear, we played for two and a half hours with a 15 min break, and my ears felt fine throughout. Definitely recommend. -

I have just got a set of these, and tried them out for the first time at rehearsal on Monday. They sounded great, nice bass sound. I had everything except the drums in the mix. Sounded nice and clear. I’ll be gigging them for the first time on Saturday, so I’ll update to let you know how I get on. -
you can scan your notes so they are pdf or word format, then import them into an app like On Song or ForScore via Dropbox. I use On Song on my iPad, you don’t need a Wifi connection when playing, and it doesn’t use much of your iPad battery either.

I’d be all over this if it was short scale. Beautiful bass. GLWTS. -
Yes, I see the guy poured silicone sealant into the truss rod to cure the rattle. I still think it’s the tuner though. I’ll have a further look at it tomorrow, maybe take it off and tinker with it. Thanks again! 😀

It’s the older type where the string slots through a hole, I think the later ones had a different type. I’ve tightened all the screws on the tuner. You may be right, taking it off and reassembling might be worth a try. Thanks!
-
Much appreciated cheers.

I don’t think it is, otherwise why is it only the D string? Playing notes on the D is not too bad but open string there is a really obvious rattle. The tuner feels a bit slacker than the others.

Thanks Steve!

On further investigation it looks like it’s the tuning peg that is slightly loose, causing a rattle going down the neck. Anyone know if you can buy replacement tuning pegs for the Stagg?
