  1. Press the little 3 way knob and hold it for far too long - if you press it for a bit it just flashes blue, but if you hold it longer it starts flashing much faster, then it will appear in the bluetooth control panel on the iPhone.
  2. I got my B-Stock but new from PMT for £375
  3. Which is of course a rip of of a grolsch!
  4. Round these parts, there is just pubs, village halls and community centres, so originals or covers, you have a PA or you are very quiet!
  5. Poor quality rip of of a Basschat one!
  6. the drummer uses my powerplay p2 (as he isn't moving) and I have an XVive iem - all works well for us.
  7. Yeh, didnt' work out so well so everyone agreed to forget about it. It should be - in my group it is mine, and I am not sure why, but it is at the moment. However, I wouldn't be interested in a 'share' of a PA, that doesn't seem like it would work out well.
  8. Mine looked exactly like that, I sent it back and got it repaired for a reasonable fee. However, since the pandemic I seem to have lost the transmitter!
  9. Indeed - but I wasn't being sarcastic, I genuinely meant the boxes looked nice - I like the engraving on the side, that is a nice touch.
  10. I saw a "Bowie tribute seeks a new Bowie", which I thought was amusing. But the singer having their own PA, not so unusual. Dave Lee Roth got into Van Halen as he had a PA, and I believe Ozzie did too. Frankly, without a singer, who needs a PA?
  11. Well, the boxes look nice!
  12. Interestingly, I have only ever gone down a motorway once to a gig. And it wasn't closed. Either way.
  13. There are loads of threads on this here. Currnetly just use a pair of alto TS212s, a behringer 12" sub (don't bring that everywhere) and we put the 3 vocals, bass drum (although not much if not with the sub), sax and guitar through it, although the guitar is only to spread it around a bit more. Flat out it works fine but there isn't much spare. Just picked up a RCF Evox 8 to see what that is like. Don't have any monitors, me and the drummer are in-ears., the singer is always out the front in front of the PA and the guitarist seems to cope ok.
  14. Since the lockdown it seems that all the gigs we have done have paid more than they used to before the lockdown. As they are almost all local, there haven't really been any increase in costs on our behalf, so it seems positive here. Not sure if this is a rebound of people wanting more music after being locked up or we just got braver asking for money!
  15. Don't forget the classics 'firebowl' and 'shush'
  16. As a standalone thing if you don't want to use software (except maybe a music player), I think it is pretty hard to beat. Apart from the not plugging straight into SRs. And the fact they only give you a single ended USB charging cable when you have two things to charge, the sender and the headphones. Either should be able to plug the sender into that nice big sender sized hole to charge it from one socket, or provide one of those two headed USB cables you get on budget wireless units so you could chanrge them both at the same time. Or wirelss charging in the case like some other cheap headphones I have! Still, plenty of future options
  17. Absolutely no issues. The danger you can get from a capacitor that hasn't been discharged is related to large electrolytic capacitors (the big ones that look like cylinders) on high voltage circuits, such as power supplies or valve amps (or old fashioned CRTs - they hurt like hell when you touched those). A bass contains no voltages that can hurt you in any way, even an active one.
  18. Yep, which is nothing like what I was describing above. I am talking about someone (specifically a guitarist) coming in and doing a near perfect cover of a song they knew without prior practicing of that piece to the point that a paying non drunk crowd would be happy with the performance. My first gig with my current band was 28 songs that I hadn't played with them before with a 3 hour practice, and two evenings working the songs our and writing them down but I did know a lot of the songs that had tricky bits and I would say my performance on the gig was acceptable, not faultless.
  19. Well, yes, blues is winging it at the best of times. I guess it depends on your definition. If have known very good guitarists who know the song to get it right the first time, so truly, wing it. But the thing is, it takes a lot of practice to be able to do something without practice!
  20. Almost ccertainly if you are getting a tone control acting as a volume control, it means that your capacitor is broken / shorted and you need a new one. They are only a few pence. Take it off, try it, the pot should do nothing (if it does your wiring is duff). Put a new capacitor on there.
  21. Does it have toneprints - maybe reset them to standard toneprints in case there is something bad in there?
  22. I have too, I have known guitarists who thought they could just wing it. A few notable ones have been correct, most of them have been very wrong!
  23. Yes, the one you missed on the marketplace is the one I have! Would be nice, if they could come up with something like they have for spark it would be a killer product, I suspect it is not the market they are interested in, but as positive grid listened tto feedback and made a smaller, battery powered spark, they should do.
