Although good on anyone that fights against the ticket pricing, the idea of spending £35 on Peter Kay seems about as bad as paying £500 for bruce springsteen!

The fact that in all of recent history with many hundreds of thousands of people using cabs and wondering what various ones sounded like together, that there is no such thing probably tells you more about it than the science!

Almost certainly not, because there is nothing simple about that.

Well, by definition if it is worth £800 in 8 years time, it must be worth a lot more now!

Yes, so the SR5000 has the Monorail V, which was the last one before the strrng spacing (which I assume is the monorail VI). that is the same as my 2065 had, which was a 2020 model My SR5005 is a much older model, so has a Monorail III, and my 1605 was a monorail IV - both of which have a domed head at the end. Obviously this doesn't affect your issue, I assume the positioning is the same so I assume with your strings it would still have the same intonation issues that you get.

I am guessing this is quite a new SR5000, as I have a 5005 and the monorails on it are very different to this - these seem a lot closer to my more modern 2605, or the EHB1505

Its not really 2000, its more like 600 or so, but you can connect it to whatever you want.

That is pretty cheap for an amplifier with an actual 'thrust' knob.

Well, because their fans at that time weren't that well off. Now they have a lot of fans who are older with mortgages paid off and a lot of disposable income, so they can fill out a stadium. Probably that too - also they are older, probably don't want to play all those little venues every night for a year.

It was, and we aren't the tidiest of bands!

Same thing here - but when a group gets to that size not much chance of seeing them in a decent venue again. Would love to see them, but not in a big place like that.

Sorry to hear about your dad, but it is against the rules to post whats it worth posts as a non supporting member

pretty good deal for one of those new if anyone needs a new amp!

Such a weird venue last night, country pub, not too far, only have a license for 2 musicians but like groups, and pretty well set up in a corridor between the entrance and the toilet, in an area where they couldn't actually turn the lights off, with the audience down a long t section. Had to move back when someone wanted to go past to the toilet and the radiator was hot (didn't turn it down until half time). Sounded like a receipt for disaster, but turned out not so bad. Lots of people we know turned out for it and many diners (its a bit of a food pub) seemed to enjoy it. One person complained it was too loud (who'd have thunk), but then they left, so no problem!

Another new update - feel free to report anything new!

My ZS10 pros turned up today, and ironically, 2 days ago, I found my ZS10s whos loss recently had prompted me to get new ones! Anyway, I thought I would do back to back tests to see if there was a difference that was non subtle enough to notice. Turns out there is,. First, the ZS10s sounded fine. Then I put the ZS10 Pros in and almost deafened myself, they were a lot louder. Turning them down to about the same level, they also sounded fine, same high detail and clarity. Then the bass of the track kicked in, and here seemed to be the difference. On the ZS10s, the bass is much louder but not really very well defined, more a boom. the Pros have less bass, it doesn't boom, but you can hear the individual notes much clearer. I think the sound of the ZS10 pros are a bit more clinical, in what is there, rather than trying to sound pleasing. Have a gig tonight, I will take them, although I assume as IEMs they are both going to be fine and the more important thing is whether they stay in (they seem a little heavier).

Well, I have two other light basses, the Maruszczyk L24, which is a chambered swamp ash bass with ultralites on it, and a shuker uberhorn 5, also swamp ash. Neither of them as light as the RST though, which I assume is some kind of paulonia. And I have a spector euro that is maple all the way, and I suspect heavier than all the ones above put together

Cool story bro. I assume - I have no idea what 9 years on the head means, or who donna lee is, but anyway, his problems are not my problems, I don't personally know him, I was just saying what I did, and as usual, you are just saying what Jaco did.

I can honestly say i have never concentrated on muting the B string on a gig. I don't think I have ever had to concentrate on muting at all, apart from when I was first learning. that is something for my hands to work on, not my head. my spector 5 RST is the lightest bass I own, it was one of the lightest basses at the last bass bash - can't remember what it was but it is 3.3KG on the web, it is lighter than my Ibanez EHB1505, which is in itself not exactly heavy.

If you add the new price of everything I will be gigging tonight with, it is over £2000 but resale probably not (unless I take the spectors or Maruszczyk) - probably around that. But the we don't play for £50 and the car is considerable more expensive than £500!

isn't 🤯 good enough? I can't speak, we have an equal amount of beatles and abba in our set list!

Interesting take on miming!

Can anyone say if it is still there? Seems to have something to do with ads, which is why most users getting it aren't supporting members (although some are and that doesn't make sense)

I can only get it on chrome on windows - don't get it on my mac or phone (or firefox on mac or pc).

Thanks. Yes, I dug out a machine that had a copy of chrome on it and it appears on there. I have no idea who cookie pro are, or why they are there, I will look into it tonight
