I think it is quite impressive, seeing as they don't have to add anything but they still do. -
If you mean after about 1990, then yes, after that a large amount of them were pretty much the same as all staff!

The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread
Woodinblack replied to EBS_freak's topic in Accessories and Misc
From a conceptial point of view there is no different between wired and wireless IEMs, other than the physical transport of the signal, all the other considerations, channels, routing etc are the same. -
Mine is a swamp ash with ultralights. It weighs very little (not spector RST little, but still, no real weight)

Our keyboard player who had joined us this year go himself a girlfriend and a new house, so found he didn't have the time to keyboard anymore, so we are back to a 4 piece. Tonights was the first night after he had gone, although in fairness, a couple of gigs back he wasn't available and we did that one too, so we had to drop some of the new songs and bring back some of the old songs. TBF, we brought back way too many, we had 42 on the set list and ran out of time in the low 30s! This was a private 50th birthday in a hall, which was for a friend of someone we did a 50th birthday for a few years back, and on the strength of that. For the sake of irony, I doubt we have had a bigger stage for years, so plenty of room for a keyboard player! Easy and quick setup, car park straight outside and noone was getting in anyones way setting up, the crowd started dancing from the first song pretty well all the way through, was a joy to play. Luckily to coincide with the keyboard player leaving, Bass direct finally after 33 weeks sent my mod dwarf back to me, which is how I do the keyboards in Brick in the wall with the footpedals, so I was a little nervous about that (and remembering the keys) and bring back the sample pad for "in the end', but it all went flawlessly I almost took my bongo, as a few months back when I went to take my bongo somewhere, the strings were all rattling and it was basically unplayable. I decided on friday to look at it and reset it up, and it was absolutely perfect. But then I remembered it doesn't really fit in my new Thomman gig bag, its too long - need a new gig bag for that! Anyway, all went down well, after half time the singer anounced we had been asked to play a local festival that I had wanted to play before, so that was good, and we had been asked about other parties, which is also nice, especially as this one paid almost double the charge of a pub and was in fairness a lot easier. Great night. Tonight we are off to play a free gig for the dad of the drummer, more of a jam thing as the singer can't be there so we will sing some and we have some guest people doing turns. The drummers parents have been to 95% of all of our gigs in the last decade, including the ones where they were a large part of the audience, so happy to do that.

Love the finish on that, it is almost identical to my Maruszczyk -

Maybe it is a pickup issue then if it has changed, or something between the pickup and output. Does the tone affect it, ie, has the capacitor gone funny somehow. For me the first thing would be to disconnect the pickup hot output and connect it straight to a jack plug to see what that sounded like. -

That really doesn't sound like the pickup to me - a broken pickup is a broken pickup, it wouldn't make a difference how loud or really what string, it sounds like a volume issue, whch sounds like a 'what you are going into' issue. -
What are you listening to right now?
Woodinblack replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Exactly the same as I found it, it went from 'meh, its ok' to one of my favourites very quickly although pretty sad - "and Im outside in the dark, looking at a blood red moon, remembering the hopes and dreams i had and all I had to do, and wondering what became of that boy and the world he called his own, and Im outside in the dark, wondering how I got so old, its all gone". Quite a long way from 'just like heaven' -

There is a limit, but it is quite a big limit. And yes, you are at it! 485.68 MB of of 488.28 MB allowance. I am sure there is somewhere you can see it but I can't find it now. It seems your default photo size are quite big, which can happen if you are going straight from a phone or something without compressing them. The easiest thing you can do at the moment is tidy up old images or compress them and put them back

Wow that isolator seems expensive. Not really suprising as it is everything a normal power supply does. So if you have now decided to go for a new power supply woudln't any old isolated supply work? Those £20-30 isolated power supplies work really well and are very low profile, I used those all the time until I went to the HB power strips

Yes the talman has a wide neck, and is quite a good bass (although shocking QC, but then really cheap) although it has to be said its balance isn't the best. -
Indeed - the first non him post was from you saying not to do it. I am sure he was a spammer, but on the other hand, I have a Maruszcyk and it is probably my most used bass, so hard to get too annoyed about.
