Or, more simply perhaps... through your bass/pedalboard/DI/Whatever you could get a tone you like, and enjoy playing to...and then let anyone on FOH work with that the same as they would your amp sound. This is where stuff like the MXR/Sadowsky/Noble Preamps/DIs come in. My favourite thing about IEMS is that what I'm playing to is representative of what I'm sending to the PA, so I can be reasonably aware of how the changes I make apply to the FOH. I don't really want what I'm hearing to be different to the DI feed. 

Found it... here's one of Marks shots from when I bought the bass!

Cheers guys! Will try and get some better picks with the other guard... certainly more authentic to the time! 

Limelight 70s Jazz in smoke stained white with Blocks & Binding, both black and tortoiseshell scratchplate and a tweed case. Will have vintage strap buttons rather than straplocks. My recent Precisions from him have got me very covered for the moment! I'm sure I could post, please ask! Based in Exeter but all over the shop over the next few weeks. No trades unless a nice 5 string P/J shows up...

@cannongeorge I've been asking for that for a while now,  but no luck! Just the vintage Js and Ps!

Cheers guys, much appreciated! It lookalike they might have some appropriate ones in stock so I may pull the trigger and see!

So...Maruszczyk owners! A few questions... I'm looking for the dream 5 string P/J, and was wondering if 1. There happened to be any Maruszczyk owners living in my neck of the woods (Devon/Dorset) who might let me play one, and also for those who bought new if you all went through public-peace, who seem to be the main site for the brand? Whats the general build time?

Khan sold!

Spot on, super quick and an absolute pleasure! 

PJB Super flightcase with Roqsolid cover. These things are super clear and accurate but you can dial in a significant amount of the super-low stuff too! Up-firing speakers are ideal for when you have to be in tight confines and above your amp. Based in Exeter but travel around a bit, can likely courier if need be. No trades at the mo!

 Spec:

250w RMS digital amp

6x PJB NeoPower speakers

Bass reflex

5-band EQ

Optical limiter 

Effect loop

Dimensions (WxHxD) : 320 x 525 x 200 mm

Weight: 15 kg ; 33 pounds

I'm hoping there may be some experience here! I'm getting a Kent Armstrong magnetic pickup fitted to my bass. I'm also looking at trying Evah Pirazzis soon, so I'm interested to know whether anybody knows if they will work with a magnetic pickup, or if anyone happens to have an old set they wouldn't mind me borrowing/buying cheaply so that I could see what happens? 

Line 6 G30 Wireless system with leather pouch and silent cable £80 Posted

Khan Tube DI (SVT DI) £310 Posted

These were made for Ampeg for a little while as the SVT DI, and the maker now puts them out as the Khan DI. The Amp output is also coloured by the tube section. Still my favourite stand alone DI, but I now have a Noble for the extra features (at extra cost...!). No trades at the mo!

Oops! Hadn’t realised the person I tagged had already found (and is now selling ) one. 

Ha yes indeed! I've seen you pairing up seekers with sellers alot, it's very much appreciated!

Great stuff, thanks! He really doesn't seem to want to go down that route himself, but I think I'll end up putting it in place for him!

Afternoon Limelight lovers! Having just picked up my third from Mark, I'm now also in charge of the official Limelight instagram account, and will be looking for LL porn to shown off the job they do!

@EBS_freak fair point about 2.4... there's no shortage of reviews of the two I'm looking at that report dropouts, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's just a sign of the times rather than issues with the units! Never had an issue with my G30, I wonder if it's because it runs on rf1 instead of rf2 as the modern ones do? 

I guess my temptation to change is partly due to the idea of having something a little more professional especially now my gear is handled by others some of the time, and the idea that, with something like the G70 I can have 2 wireless electric channels plus a wired upright going straight to the built in DI, all through the tuner etc.... Whether it's worth just holding off and seeing which way things develop I don't know! The stageclix doesn't really look up to the job if I'm honest! Smooth hound seemed like a nice piece of kit but I never found the form of either part to be as functional as my G30, and a friend has had real dropout issues with his.

Especially interested to know if anyone has tested the quality of the G70s DI output...

Afternoon all... I've been using my trusty G30 for around 9 years with no issues whatsoever. I've been looking at some of the new generation Shure and Line 6 units, and there's plenty of conflicting reports on all. I was wondering what experience anyone here has with the Line 6 G70, Shure GLX D (pedal version). I don't really have any problems with my current system, and may well just get a 2nd transmitter, but I love the tuner/output capabilities of some of the new units. Open to others but must be board friendly. Went down the Smooth Hound route and it wasn't for me! Don't ever need to wander very far, but do like the freedom and gigs range from tiny pubs to festivals of 10,000 or so. Any help much appreciated! 

MONO Bass Sleeve in Ash, has been storage for my P bass but rarely been out of the house! Good condition, a few marks where the tuners have been but nothing significant. £100 posted in the UK, or collection from Exeter. 

@Ghost Rider Acted as the gopher for my Spectracomp to get to a friend of his... well recommended friendly Basschatter!

I've seen transparent screens around the drums at one of the larger televised gigs.

It was a couple of years ago.  Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend took to the stage late on in the night with some of the other big names that had been playing already.  As Roger warmed up to the performance he went over to the drums and pushed at least one of the screens over.

I wondered about that.  Did he feel that he needed to hear the drums direct due to foldback issues with his IEMs?  Did he feel that the screens were new-fangled flummery and had no place at any Who gig?  Could it have been a nod to the late Mr Moon because if he was still with us he wouldn't have stood for screens in front of his kit?  Was it just a symbolic gesture to suggest that although old, the remainder of the band still represented rebellion against authority?

Thoughts?  I'm all thunk out.  Please use small words because I am thick.

Funnily enough The Who well and truly use screens and baffles over everything these days to protect his hearing! 

In my other (6-string) life, I run pretty much the same as half the rig above... a Divided by 13 40w head and 2x12. I also use the screen on every gig, mic'd or unmic'd. 2 reasons.... I can pretty much run the amp at the same volume on any gig, which means consistency, these amps sound and behave very differently through the range of volume, and even on half-power the volume knob goes between nothing and 'too much!!!' very quickly. It also means that what the audience hear is more similar to what I'm hearing, and stops the front row from being hit by the harsh beam of the speakers. I haven't been asked to turn down in many years....

The idea of these shaped screens is that you never have a panel parallel with the speakers, and avoid right angles... so you should be able to avoid much reflection. 

At a guess this was the Beth Hart gig @spectoremg? You'd have seen a few friends of mine doing the support slot!

Hey @nash where are you based?

TC Spectracomp, currently loaded with a slightly edited version of Nathan East's toneprint to try and match my Cali76. Boxed and delivered.

Hey @funkybass definitely possible!
