That looks like a belting little setup.

Yeah they're the recommended first in ear on this forum! Can handle a lot of low end, I use them live now but I bought a second set for my little mixer at home. They do come with different rubber bits, I use the largest ones (I'm 6'6" with proportionately large ears!) and they're fine. I think the generic rubber ear inserts you can get fit too.

KZ Official Store on AliExpress have the ZS10 at £22 delivered if anybody was wanting in ears or just some earphones which sound great for silent bass practice: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859161944.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7b573c00ceAOCn&mp=1 Ordered a second set to use at home when learning songs.

Mine is the dedicated bass version and it's actually pretty loud and clear for what it is, I'm running it into an little EA CXL110 with a Basslite in, I was really surprised when I first plugged it in! Assumed these would just have the same guts with a different EQ section but perhaps not. Thinking of buying a cheap "proper" amp like a TC RH250 or something in the not too distant future.

Gah they had the Sire M2 I've been looking at but 4 string only, someone got a great bass for £200.

Just checked, coach aint that cheap (about £75) and the hours are horrendous!

Have a look into Family Railcard for £30 if you want to make a day of it with kids/grandkids. Mrs Lemmywinks shaved £195 off a £300 ticket for her and Lemmywinks Jnr. Also worth looking into National Express coaches, probably at least half the cost of a train.

What is it with relic'd new necks that they always look like someone has unblocked a toilet with them?

Yes still very much usable and will be a much needed stopgap hopefully. My first gig with it coincided with our guitarist making up stereo cables for everyone (based on your recommendation in the in ear thread) so having direct control was incredibly useful. After postage and buying a replacement screen protector it came to about £29 in total, finally got to use the lightning cables I bought in error months ago too!

Yeah I read that, shape still looks a little off to me. Like I said I don't know much about Fenders though.

Saw that the other day, thought the headstock looked a little off at first. Might just be my eyes or the angle but the bump beneath the Fender logo seems to protrude more than it should, doesn't flow like a Tele headstock should to me and looks like it's been chopped down from a full size headstock. Here's the seller's: Here's a Google image: Might just be imagining it though, I don't really know much about Fenders!

Ok used this last night, worked fine for adjusting my monitor mix and moving the faders was lag free. Was a bit of delay when swiping across the faders to access higher ones but it was usable. Came in really handy as I had a stereo monitor mix for the first time and got it sounding crystal clear really quickly.

Just noticed it had a screen protector on and the crack didn't look deep, removed it and the screen is fine underneath so I'll probably whack it up for sale and double my money. Every cloud and all!

It's the same spec as an iPad 2 so I'm not holding out much hope! The monitor mix I have at the moment is largely fine, it's mainly just for having the ability to turn down certain things if they become fatiguing like the snare and guitar, things I could move away from when I used a monitor but am kind of trapped with using in ears. I want it to be accessible quickly which is why I don't want to rely on someone else to do it, will see how it goes anyway.

Yeah I'm fully expecting it to be unusable but I don't have to send the iPad back until next week so might as well give it a go.

Will do thanks. This thing only has 512mb of ram! I expect MF4 will get considerably slower when I connect it to a desk and it has to start doing things?

Ah ok, thanks for the help. I'll see how Master Fader 4 works on Saturday, hopefully it's bearable!

Gonna assume the latest one. messaged guitarist and without checking he thinks it's 4.6.2. Would Master Fader 3 work?

Ok so I managed to snag an iPad Mini 4 with 16gb storage fully working but with a cracked screen for £23, however when it turned up it had magically transformed into an iPad Mini 1 with 64gb storage. It's going back obviously but on Saturday I'm going to trial it with Master Fader 3 and 4 which were still on the App Store, also put My Fader on it which I was able to download by selecting the show iPhone apps thingy so I can see if these are going to be suitable for monitor adjustments. If it's fast enough with legacy apps and still has the limited functionality I need then it might solve a problem.

There's a 5 string Steinberger Spirit just appeared on the UK Facebook groups if a full bodied bass isn't essential, in Hull for £200.

We don't have a dedicated sound engineer although our guitarist is very good at it (he engineers for other bands). It's pretty set and forget really, if you want to hear yourself more you can turn yourself up in your monitor mix rather than turning your amp up so the FoH doesn't really change much. The Behringer X18 is £320 and my in ear setup cost £55, having a scout on eBay you cab grab an RCF sub for around £300. The standard of gear available for a cripplingly low budget is crazy high. For weddings we used to hire a PA and engineer but setting up and getting everything sounding great is so quick and easy now we don't bother, more money for us and the gear has paid for itself. On gig nights I walk out of my front door carrying just a single gigbag, it's brilliant!

Well the simplest way to do it is a decent PA with subs and the band using in ears. No amps bleeding into drum or vocal mics, total control to whoever is running the desk, everybody can hear when they need to and the audience get the best full range sound possible. Literally takes two cables per band member.

Someone did that on here a bit ago, looked weird at first but one of those things you get used to. Probably a good candidate seeing as you're more likely to get a donor one with the headstock snapped off than most other designs! EDIT: Here: Seems to sort the neck dive, don't see Neepheid and Ou7hined on here now, where did they go?
