    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.
  6. Woodinblack
    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.

    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'

    Lets not - there is a Ibanez SR forum for people to show their own, this is a sale thread

    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
  11. Woodinblack
    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.
  12. Woodinblack
    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.

    The RCF Evox 8 JMIX has a small mixer on the back: https://www.rcf.it/en/products/product-detail/evox-jmix8 gives you 4 XLRs and 2 sets of stereo jacks

    No - the joyo thing is a filter, ir removes some noise from the power source, but in no way isolates the power from each other. I used one because it stopped a zoom that I was using at the time from interfering with the wireshark wireless I was using at the time. It worked, but later on I had to get an isolated power supply for another pedal.

    Yes, they were waiting for the part from MOD a couple of times. The Jack socket. So in the last month I wrote and asked them to return it as I could get a jack socket in a couple of days.
  16. Woodinblack
    I had to chase them 4 times for that. Well, 3 times, once i posted on the bassdirect thread and they contacted me the next day. When they sent it back they sent an email saying they sent it - if it had been me I would have written how deeply sorry I was that it took almost 9 months, guess not..
  17. Woodinblack
    Well, just over 33 weeks later, and bass direct have sent back my mod dwarf after replacing the jack socket. Hopefully I can now get going with it, even though I bought a boss ME90b in the mean time to keep going and we have changed the keyboard player in the band since, so some of what I relied on isn't needed any more

    Its always a shame but I have no real problem with it. If someone sees something and buys something at a price the seller is happy to sell at, its theirs and what they do with it is their issue, whether they sell it on or keep it forever. People with deeper pockets than you will always have more options, I have seen many basses I would really like go, because I couldn't afford them or couldn't justify paying for them.
  19. Woodinblack
    Not the real instruments, but synthesizers playing accordians yes, bagpipes I am not sure about, I think I might have had to leave the room for that which would make counting hard.

    I have several bluetooth midi things, and they are fine, the Waze doesn't use that for anything other than control from the app, the bass audio comes from effectively one of their WL20 dongles with a couple of cosmetic changes. The Waze are expensive as they have bluetooth from the app, bluetooth audio, wireless audio, accelerometers to control stereo image and effects processing all in one handy headphone sized object. They are very well made. Personally never found the stereo positioning accelerometers at all useful, but they are undoubtadly clever
  21. Woodinblack
    Its bluetooth audio (from the phone) and midi, and wireless (ie, same as a wireless sender) from the bass, so no issues. They work really well, I just prefer my old wired headphones adn the controls on the katana go dongle

    Mine turned up, and had some fun with it, a bit too sensitve to everything but I guess it gets easier setting up with time! I can say though in a small survey I did, 100% of pigeons don't like theramins.
  23. Woodinblack
    Also consider the Boss Katana Go, I have both and tend to use that one more
  24. Woodinblack
    Play naked, and keep threatening to move out from behind it!

    You are trying to use them as a line output from a desk? They are microphone level senders, I can't imagine they would work at all well in that situation unless you turned the level right down.
