    We normally do stop the cavalry and Merry Christmas Everyone, and yes, people do want that stuff

    That is crazy - they are 24 months late on a 12 month build. I think you are quite within your rights to say that if it isn't delivered in <some small amount of time> that you will be seeking a full refund as they haven't kept up their side of the bargain, and I can't see how any of those exuses justify it. Frankly, if I was a business, I wouldn't be passing on those sort of details anyway - seems a 'dog ate my homework' exuse!

    Was there any part of the contract on what you would get when?

    You are a patient man - I have such a short attention span I could never cope with that. The 12 week wait for my Maruszczyk was about as long as I could wait. I think I might turn a guitar into a midi instrument, with one of those built in kits, I prefer playing the bass but the latency isn't anywhere near as much of an issue on the guitar.

    Well the ones I bought had nothing to do with any group!

    I was so tempted to get a Bass VI when it was in shell pink, but I didn't, and now there aren't any anywhere. Probably as well, I have had 2 bass VIs before and I sold both of them!

    No they don't, mine was 'out for delivery' the day before it was delivered

    No, the answer is 'Good question, but no you can't for reasons'. Its not a stupid question, its just a no!

    Heres an interesting thing, for people who ask for budget IEMs. ok, I was expecting very little. £40 (I ordered these before I got replacements of my XVives), they are a stereo IEM set, weigh nothing, fairly small. Turns out the sound is fine, fairly surprisingly so. Latency I assume is high although in listening trials straight from a headphone socket of a bass amp I can't hear anything. Range appears to be ok in my house but my house isn't that big! Can't say that this is the be all or end all, but for £40 they do actually work in a reasonable way. No idea what the battery life is like yet.

    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!
  12. Woodinblack
    Almost certainly not, because there is nothing simple about that.
  13. Woodinblack
    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.
  15. Woodinblack
    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
  16. Woodinblack
    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.
  18. Woodinblack
    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.
  19. Woodinblack
    It was, and we aren't the tidiest of bands!
  20. Woodinblack
    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).
