I must admit that I am now curious about the Mee. I was in their website and their price seems reasonable. Being able to choose the number of drivers and some sort of customization is really cool. -
I was thinking about getting a second set, but I guess that would be too much money. A friend of mine has used the IE400 for years and never had an issue, so I hope they last. I don't know if this is the reason why they disscontinued them, but they only have one driver. The friend I mentioned before had a podcast and he talked to Sennheiser and they explained why they use only one driver. But people really look at how many drivers IE have so, maybe they were not selling that much.

That's why I moved on from KZ. Yesterday I tried the IE400. As you said, they are not the same as IE100 in terms of size and fit. Both are really comfortable, but I found that I prefer the IE100 in that regard. When I have them on, no problem. However, soundwise, the IE400 are excellent. I love them. They sound deeper and with more bass than the IE100. I think I found my favourite IEMs

I have been testing different IEMs these last gigs and I think I can comment some thoughts about them: Sennheiser IE100 pro. The most comfortable headphones I ever had. Flat response. Everything is there, but not in a spacial way. Nice bass, mids and highs. I can hear my whole band and myself without any problem. Isolation is nice. KZ ZS10 pro X. They sound terrific. Everything is there, good bass and nice mids. I can hear everything very clearly. My only issue with them is that I am not that comfortable with them. I tried several buds and I cannot feel really comfortable with them. Isolation is nice. All my bandmates use them. KZ Castor (bass enhanced). This set is what KZ recommends for bass players. They include switches to change the eq. They sound good. However, if you have some bass boost, the bass sounds really artificial. There is sub bass, but it is not very defined. I think they are a little bit more comfortable than the ZS10. Isolation is the same than the ZS10. I prefer the ZS10 overall, but they are really nice headphones. KZ ZST. Really good headphones. All the frequencies are heard and you can hear all your bandmates. They sound similar to the ZS10, but the ZS10 sound more spacial IMO. Bass is good and defined. Isolation is the same as the other KZ models. MEE6 pro. Nice and very comfortable. Soundwise are a little bit worse than the Sennheiser or the KZ. I have ordered the Seinnheiser IE400 pro to see if there is much of a difference.

I had a CV5 that I sold because it weighted 5.1 kg and it was too much for me. Contruction-wise, it was solid and awesome to play. One of the bets B strings I ever played. And the tone was amazing.

I have been thinking about getting this pedal for about two months. I must say now, that it is the best bass overdrive I have ever tried. I love the sounds I can get from it

I have to say that my BB735 tend to have a certain "wow" effect when I put it out of my case. My Fender basses haven't had that effect in any project I was involved.

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

Not really that interesting I think. Ratio at 4:1. A little bit of Dry signal and a little bit of HPF. The HPF is set like that because I usually play 5 string basses, but I also like it in 4 strings. Without it, I find it squeezes too much the B string. Attack/Release I found that spot that I really like. It is true that I also play a lot with the Input. I play a lot of different basses and I find the sweet spot with the input. I use the light as a meter. I play normal until it lights up a little bit. That with the attack and release I think that it colours the tone the way I like it. -

I think it's pretty compact and versatile -

I'm always struggling with my interest in pedals and me not wanting to take a big pedalboard... I am very happy with this new pedalboard because it covers all of the projects I play in. The layout might be a little weird, but I think it is the best I could make. Line 6 Relay G10s-->Boss TU-3w-->HX Stomp-->Walrus Canvas DI. All powered by Cioks Sol. I wanted to put the tuner on the left because I always fear that the wireless go crazy (never happened, but better be ready) so I can plug a cable straight to the tuner. I use an external tuner, even though I really like the tuner in the HX, just because I like to have a pedal that mutes not being the HX (in case something happens to the HX). I could have bought a cheaper tuner, but I like the Boss's switch I have to say. I will include my Disaster Area Midi Baby 3 when I need to switch presets or when I need more footswitches. I will just turn the DI 45 degrees and put the Baby 3. The board is a D'addario XPND so no problem. I have no problem with the G10sII. However, I got a Fender Telepath that works incredibly good and it works in 5.8 Hz instead of 2.4Hz. I prefer the format of the G10s, but it takes some room. In the future I will probably switch to the famous Shure, so that I can replace also the tuner, but so far so good. -
Active 5 string workhorse - share your opinions!
javi_bassist replied to Jonrh98's topic in Bass Guitars
A lot of good options. But if I were you, I'd follow @kwmlondon advice and I would get a Yamaha BBG5. I had a BB605 (which is the same but with single coils) and it had one of the best B string I've ever tried (and I have much much expensive instruments). If you don't like the pickups, you can always change it and with few money, you can get a beast of a bass. I change the preamp and pickups of my BB605 and it was a beast. As a recommendation of something more "new", I have a BB735 and it is my favourite. But it is PJ. -

The red one seems really really cool
-
I bought the V1 because Thomman had a discount on a special edition that I love. The V2 seems more similar to the amp heads. I used to have the V1 (and I sold it, which I shouldn't have done) and I it sounded great. With the AGS on, it was amazing. However, I could never replicate the same sound with the heads and the Drive knob. And I think this preamp is similar to them. I'll stick to my V1 (when it arrives)
-
I bought one but it won't arrive until next month. I must say that I didn't know it was a Solid State Preamp with a Valve Power Amp section. I know that the previous model was, but I thougth this one wasn't. The valve in the preamp is just for overdrive (just like in their OriginAL preamp). However, I heard many Demos on Youtube (mostly about the previous version) and it sounds pretty good. I already think about swapping the valve (I did the same in the Preamp). Dave said it was fine, but that it won't make much of a difference. I expect to get more sweet spots with the Gain, since I prefer mostly clean with some hair. I will report back when I have the amp. @steviedee how are you enjoying yours?
