[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496915523' post='3314638'] I had a EH Black Finger compressor; a bit Emporer's New Clothes to me. May investigate a Boss BC-1X. [/quote] If you're gonna go for one, I'd really recommend the TC spectracomp pedal. 1 knob and sounds great even in it's 'standard' / 'out of the box' setting..

Given that Eich (and indeed Tecamp) amps have the 'taste' knob, which takes you from vintage to old school, I'd guess their cabs are more than capable of either....

And I'd take an umbrella

Don't know if you use effects, but it sounds like a bit of compression will go a long way to help you out with that...

Yep - tapping my in-ears has saved me many times. Unfortunately I don't think there is a 'humane' solution to this. It's all part of today's 'me me me' society, and those types think you're there to serve them and that's that as far as their concerned. Out of everything I've read so far, my favourites have been the more humorous retorts, I think that's as close as you'll get to 'humane' Such as (over the mic) 'That's a very kind offer but I'm Married' One I've used before with folk who get the hump - 'How would you like it if I come down to your office on Monday and start shouting at you while you're trying to work?'

Hiya Kert, Must pop round for that cuppa we been on about for a long time! We've used backing tracks for synth lines etc, when we have what we need, we generally have a stereo track with the music on the right and a click track on the left. You can then feed the click to in-ears only for time keeping with the music, and the track to FOH..

6 years between post #11 and 12? for sale link was last bumped in feb'15? Wass goin on ere?! I'm lost!

Deleted.

You'll be fine, no issues using a pick on a Jazz. Go for it.

Yep same for me, every one I've met for a sale or trade has been great. Easily the best & most useful forum I've ever joined.

OK I'll buck the trend a little here - Great basses no doubt, I had a VM5 for a while and the build quality was right up there with anything I've played. The only thing for me was that it sounded a little too 'polite' for my taste. After years of playing nothing but growly Fenders, I just found it a little too clean, almost sterile sounding. Mind you, it could have been the fact I was playing it through a Tecamp Puma and BF super compacts (all very transparent).....

Guns n Roses next for me!

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1495802781' post='3306734'] Hey Phil are you using those AKG D5's? We have front facing wedges and don't get any feedback, the odd pissed punter falling into us yes, but no feedback [/quote] [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1495805898' post='3306767'] Hi Steve, yes mainly the D5's, feedback rejection is pretty good with them anyway. See you are down at the Marine tonight, I might make it down there if I can escape. [/quote] Interesting - I bought myself an AKG D5 and was ribbed by my bandmates for not buying an SM58.

Bastards indeed.

Awesome news! Glad it worked out. That's a good thing about loads of these buy/sell shops being around. If the scrotes use 'em, the nicked stuff doesn't travel very far, and is put on show for a wide audience.

All pointing the right way for me I think, I'm certainly not a fiddler, when it's set, I leave it alone unless a trusted source from out front tells me something different... Cheers all, every input is greatly appreciated.

Hey Russ, indeed the PA is fine, there are Mackie 18in subs and JBL PRX tops, which have two 15s and a tweeter each. Monitoring-wise I'm on in-ears (UE900s recommended by your good self) so no worries there..... Cheers dude.
