[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1506849865' post='3381434'] Maybe we are unusual in still only putting vocals through the PA and using backline amps. There again for the pubs we play in you really don't need a multi-kilowatt PA. So many landlords tell us it's refreshing that we get a great sound without taking the roof off or spending 3 hours sound checking in the Dog and Duck. [/quote] We do the same. It seems the most common way around here in pubs still. Maybe different in the big cities?

Tc sub n up, with TonePrint it will be what you want it to be.

Already gone.....

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1506787692' post='3381143'] I gigged my EB4 a few hours after receiving it, I can't get too precious about what are simply tools to achieve an end. [/quote] It was reading your reviews of the Thunderbird that tipped me over the edge to buy one and your reviews of the EB4 have nearly done the same. Just can't decide between the two finishes at the moment. I am not doing enough at the moment to really use two a massive amount and the Thunderbird has just become my go to bass but the EB4 seems a very tempting addition all the same. The precision hasn't been touched since I bought the Thunderbird and is for sale now.

It's a weird ad all round. Needless to say it's not going to sell.

Trace Elliot? Mine was stupid cheap 2nd hand, not light but sounds fantastic. Always a few up for sale on here.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1506715095' post='3380692'] I'm probably going to be the only person to vote 'other' . [/quote] What's the other out of interest?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1506715426' post='3380697'] You didn't say whether this was basses or instruments. I have a 4 string bass (& one in bits), a 6 string acoustic (guitar), a ukulele & a keyboard. I'm wanting a 5 string bass, possibly fretless. [/quote] Poll says bass types ;-)

Just wondering if most people stick to one type or have a range.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1506701091' post='3380546'] It definitely causes booking problems. I'm not saying playing in more than one band isn't a viable option. However if your not networked finding those opportunities would be a job in itself. As much as I gig and with as many people that see me you'd think I'd get calls or inquiries on my availability. Blue [/quote] Maybe that's the way to go, put it around that you are available as a dep. Then main band takes priority but depping could fill some of the gaps. Not sure what scope there is for that to work where you are.

My go to Thunderbird has a good few marks and dings. I bought it with 99% of them on (amazingly absent from the pics). It doesn't bother me as it means I can just use it without worrying about it. I have come very close recently to buying an EB4, and may well still do, but I would worry about gigging it for fear of damaging it. So I fear it could become a bit of a show princess.

TC spark mini works perfectly for me.

Why play four gigs with one band? You could perhaps play four gigs with two or three different ones. I appreciate there are difficulties with booking clashes but it could be possible.

'Couriered by Hermes', sadly I'm ooooot Please collect whoever buys its.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1506631777' post='3380114'] Specsavers moulded. Perfectly balanced reduction, can hear everything, just much quieter. Only issue I have is the drop in volume feels like a drop in energy too. Just need to get used to it as I now have noticeable tinnitus. [/quote] How much were they? Looking at the ACS mounded and specsaver ones but no price for the latter on their website.

I have the off the shelf ACS ones and they kill the bottom end. I am looking at getting custom ones made. Hopefully they will be better.

I thought you meant which overall forum, for me it's either here or Autosh*te, a forum dedicated to followers of generally crap and unloved cars.

I like cellulose. It gives a great finish, is easy to work with and can be cut back if you make mistakes. Acrylic is also good but can be a little harder to work with. Chances are you have been working with acrylic (sometimes known as one pack in some places) as it's common in spray cans.

Some nice wood in there, the finish is terrible which doesn't do it any favours. The shape? Well each to their own I suppose.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1506369211' post='3378323'] Don't underestimate how many people want something for nothing... [/quote] Exactly, you sort of think it wouldn't be many but I bet it's thousands.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1506368047' post='3378302'] Only open to US or UK folks, though. [/quote] It's ok, you can send it my address if you win ;-)

Shame the wood is gorgeous. A case of what could have been.......

I often wonder how many people enter these sort of competitions.

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1506360578' post='3378231'] On my old Trace Elliot head I press the pre-shape button. [/quote] Works for me too, seems better than any setting I can manually dial in for some reason.

I doubt it's an air fed mask though, the standard filter type are no good for two pack. It needs to be a full face positive feed type, theybarent cheap but are completely essential. I understand it can also be absorbed through the skin so needs full coverage. To be honest it's best just to avoid it, there are good alternatives that are far safer.
