Well i wouldn’t be going out and charging a lot of money if i wasn’t up to the job. For the record, i don’t rate his singing at all, never have. Awful voice. It’s a shame that people’s last memory of a once great band will be this. Sure, Ozzy will get a lot of praise from those who are fans, and sympathy from other, but it will be ‘he did well considering’.

As will be the vocals. The bloke can hardly talk, let alone sing. At his age there is no way he will suddenly start to sing in tune 🤔 Saw Sabbath the Dio was fronting them (Heaven and Hell), what a difference.

Thanks but im sure I’ll get a reply back via FB in a day or so. -
Considering they have an email address on their website that doesn't work, id say they are very laid back 😂 I noticed i have had communication from them via FB messenger before so hopefully I'll get a response soon. I can live without my IEM's for a few weeks, as I can use my singers IE100's if I need to. Hmm, maybe I could just go back to the IE100's if it's a stock item they have.
-
Well I did email them using the link on their website and the email bounced back as address not found. I'll try via FB.

Cheers. did you have to send your IEM’s in? I looked on his website and they aren't listed. The IE 400 is a bit different to the IE100 (i have both), although still in the same ballpark size wise. Once i get my ears done I’ll get a bit more serious about it.

Wow, thanks for the write up Phil. Im happy with the foam tips i use with my IE400’s, but this could be an upgrade i can actually afford and wont lose my IE400’s. Like you say, just going ‘Custom’ can be as varied as buying off the shelf for some. This is what has put me off, as i like what i hear already, but could do with it being a bit easier to get them in the ear so they sit well. I’ll definitely be looking in to this option in a month or so. Need to sort out the ear fitting first.

Surely its only a rip off if you get ripped off?
-
Haha. I’ve still got a mirror one from the 80’s in a drawer somewhere. Been tempted to put it on my current Fender P.

Yeah, thats how mine arrived. Hated the white pick guard but other than that a lovely looking bass.
-
I have no idea of the spec now. I got it early 2009, via the Bass Gallery, and yeah, it was a bit heavy compared to my other basses, but on as heavy as the one you tried IIR. I never had any issues with the weight and it was a really nice player, but too warm for me back then. This is how it ended up before i sold it on here. I did see it re sold on here a few years back.

Not so much hate, as never really liked. I ordered a Lakland DJ5 years ago. I love Lakland basses and wanted a decent jazz. it's also the most expensive bass ive owned. I couldn't try one but didnt think I needed to. When it arrived I couldn't wait to gig in. In fact the gig was that night. It played like dream, but the sound was (to my ears) awful. Quite soft and muddy (or warm)) compared to my Squier CV Jazz. After a few month is really could take any more, so got it converted in to a PJ at the Gallery. They did a great job, but it still had that warm tone above it, even though the pups had been complete changed. I ended up selling it shortly after.

If they have a Facebook page, post on that. I find doing this gets results a lot faster than emailing them etc, especially if it's a negative post.

I had a thumper and a trad years ago. Ill be honest and say i didn’t think either was anything special. I’d say the same about the Fralins I’ve had as well, although they did seem to have a bit more life to them.

Anyone bought from Thomann recently? Experience?
dave_bass5 replied to Twigman's topic in General Discussion
Ive ordered a few things recently, as others have said, there is a back hole in the tracking where the item sits at customs. I do find I still get the items within 4 days, depending when I order. I do try and order on a Monday so I get the time that week. Weekend orders seem to take an extra day.
