@Phil Starrtold me yesterday that he uses the KZ ZS10 Pro, that is the one I am ordering. https://kz-audio.com/kz-zs10-pro.html -
This is a 4-metre cable assembled from Sommer Classique Braided Cable plus a right-angled plug on one end and a straight plug on the other. The price includes postage and packing. The price dropped to £24.-

I forgot to mention, the sale starts tommorow.

Still a bit too far north for amateurs like myself. In the Primark music department, good deals at the moment on KZs https://kz-audio.com/

Clearly, 200W is enough, BUT this is 100W into 8R. In my experience, that is just about enough to accompany a couple of acoustic guitars. I have used my 100W 8R combo (170W into 4R) with a 12" extension cab in a rehearsal, but it was still not up to that task in a relatively modest 5 piece (Drums, Bass two electric guitars). The drummer is not quiet but does know dynamics, the guitarist use Fender and Roland Combos. Of course with a good PA support it can be done but it islimiting.

Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
When your audience starts singing the next song, before you have announced or started playing it, you need to change your set list. In saying that, you have to be aware that the singer cannot play up the dusty end or drop tune, so some accommodation is needed in a band. In the end, the singer has to have a veto on songs, but that should not mean that they have a veto on change. The set list has to evolve, or the band will stagnate. -
Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
I should have added that a band member that refuses to rehearse, or practice the songs at home, probably should be asked to leave. -
A lot too high IMHO, but my friend @Passinwindmay disagree.

Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
In my last band, we had a rule that anyone could veto a new song. It helped that we got on very well, but that may not work for every band. -
I saw them I. The early Ambrose Slade days and they were superb. Who knows why Noddy retired so early but his voice was Slade.

With Elton it has not worked, I wince when I hear him now.

is this a Japanesse made model? if so, look at the Gotoh range. https://g-gotoh.com/productList/bass-machine-heads/?lang=en

Just had a look at those 64 Audio IEMS, they are a bit on the heavy side, and I am not talking weight.

Has a Silver faced lining?

That two pickups would go open circuit is highly unlikely.

How can I make pickups like the ones I have?

Yes, resistance is useless as an indicator as it does not take into account the diameter of the wire. -

I agree, the caps and rectifier diodes are most likely to be causing the problem. A transformer is unlikely to bang on its own.

Is this not a reason why Les Paul necks are so weak? The angle of the headstock means that there is no real grain strength there. Yes, most of the "sound" comes from the other parts of the bass.

My Peavey Milestone 4 is plywood with a maple mech and rosewood fingerboard. I have often gigged it when my main bass needs adjusting and there is no time before a gig. No one, especially me has complained about the sound. IMHO, the contribution of the body to the sound is minimal. Most important is electronics (pups and controls plus preamp, if fitted). Then it’s the strings, the. The neck, then the body. The bridge has very little impact, the machine heads nothing except if they don’t stay in tune.

To be honest compared to the RCF M18, Behringer X series and Soundcraft Ui series, that is not very compact,

Wow, that is quite a list and all important, I can only add type of construction of the connectors and the difference between unbalanced and balanced connections. The question is how much detail? I suppose if I touch on everything briefly, people can ask for more information if they need it.

I have decided to post this here, as I was diverting the small mixer thread. I was having a discussion with @EBS_freakabout wireless systems. So we agreed that you need to spend a bit on a good system. I thought I saw a post that someone recommended an Xvive system. Now the one I have found is the U4 and that has a delay (alright, latency if you must) of 5mS. Unless there is another system, that seems excessive.

Stereo FoH is a not a good idea. Stereo only works if you are in the sweet spot, and few will be. Of course, headphones are different as you are in the sweet spot(ish). So it mke sense to have a mono mix for FoH and stereo monitor mix. Of course, this does assume you have a dedicated sound tech/mixist.
