    @Jack is your dad Joe Hope, artist and bassist?

    I likewise experimented yesterday. No amp or cab. Bass > Sansamp > PA Mixer / PA Aux > to my RCF310 mounted on a pole stand to the side of the stage at approx ear height. Perfectly tolerable mix of my bass, 2 vocals and the guitar, controlled by the app on my phone. I had a slight issue with 'bloom' on the 'A' which I had to correct on main PA interface at 1/2 time but that was easily fixed. I do feel that I may need to use my Fishman Plat Pro with the Sansamp to give me greater tonal flexibility; need to keep the Sansamp in as it gives me just the right kind of driven sound I like when just past 12:00. Oddly other Tech 21 products sound too bloated unless I do radical adjustments. Added to which I'm not keen on the SIMs and IRs inherent in some of the other pedal options I've tried. I now have the dilemma of which better quality cab/monitor do I get which isn't a random/rash decision based on this experiment as I want/need one purely as a FOH single cab for a duo I play acoustic guitar in. I have four RCF 310s but generally take 1 for small gigs and scale up when needed; a single 'better' monitor would bridge the 1 or 2 310 situation and I could still keep a pair of 310s as add ons. So RCF 932 or QSC 12.2! Unless I disappear down the rabbit hole of alternatives inc 10" options. I'll never need to go as large as a 15" for any of my situations.

    Opening the main stage @ 19:00 on Friday... Cheat Trick.

    Yep I play in a duo where I play acoustic guitar and a flick of the bass/guitar switch and the EQ centres are altered to suit; straight into the PA for the guitar and it sounds great.

    Ditto. I went through multiple pedals that have sims or IRs before settling on the good old Sansamp for drive and I kept the Fishman Plat Pro to use with bass and acoustic; it was the most transparent and useful of them all.

    ...and others are allowed to disagree. Short post... sorry.
  7. warwickhunt
    Whilst I agree with the thrust of that, I know of several occasions when someone has gone into their phone/pad to change settings to their Aux... and adjusted the wrong one. People should know better... but they are people!

    I was there and had vivid memories of Dave's comeback on the bottle thrower and his threat to do things to his girlfriend. LOL

    Nice, like them both. Oddly I reckon the less bottom heavy Sandberg would work better in my band setting as the mids/up over would cut through but in isolation and take the Yamaha.

    I've tried ampless and if it works for you it is apparently the end to all backline GAS... you just have GAS for the latest pedal and/or IE. However, I didn't like it and I've reverted back to my amp/cab and my custom moulded ear plugs. What I am going to do is get new plugs as mine are 10 years old and though still in good condition, I think my ears have changed shape and they don't fit as well. Each to their own and 'vive la difference' as the Scottish would say!

    Alternatively search on BC for Handbox WB100.

    Got the same bass/colour scheme and I traded it once... quickly traded to get it back. Lovely basses.
  13. warwickhunt
    Is the YI200 chassis quite a large chassis?
  14. warwickhunt
    Regardless of sound quality, I believe latency would begin to become an issue.

    Aldi or Lidl do packs of 50 / 100 for a few quid on their fabled centre isle, might be worth a look... just step away from the cheap screwdriver sets!
  16. warwickhunt
    Hang fire, I have one you can have.
  17. warwickhunt
    what3words has it in Quebec!
  18. warwickhunt
    I'll take this Joe.

    I think that is pretty much my findings. Not got a problem using the KZs as listening devices for a laptop etc when there is no ambient noise but gigs... hmmmm
  20. warwickhunt
    I'm using the Comply but the isolation is not good. Could be my ear shape or that the KZs are quite large so pull/twist. I'm less worried about nuances of 1 v 5 drivers and/or mid range availability; I need to get the isolation sorted otherwise I'm turning up the IE volume to offset the drum bleed through from the acoustic drums.
  21. warwickhunt
    Those IE100s look significantly smaller/lower profile than the KZs, is that the case @Phil Starr? Does anyone have a photo of them physically side by side?
  22. warwickhunt
    Could be worse... you could have bought a Fender! Hey! Just saying.
  23. warwickhunt
    I've just bought one of these and as a former owner of both USA Stingrays and Sterlings, they really do punch above their weight and get a very good 'Musicman' tone despite being passive! If you want that MM tone but in SS, do yourself a favour and buy this. I was seriously tempted to go for the full fat USA short scale but after trying this out, I'm not going to shell out x4 as much cash. Not saying a USA wouldn't be better but not 'that' much better.

    I've bought dozens (literally) of used £1000+ basses from Europe over the past 20 or so years and price/value was/has been one of the reasons I bought from Europe (+ a few from the USA when £ v $ was good). However post Brexit, the 25% increase and the weakness of the £ has meant that there's never a point where an instrument purchase makes financial sense, I may as well wait and see if the instrument that I've an interest in, appears for sale in the UK. Likewise, I've sold/traded basses 'to' Europe in the past but now, European buyers won't pay what the value is now!

    I got the same unit, with the intention of sending back when (if) it was cack; turned out to be perfectly acceptable. It is NOT a pro unit and wouldn't stand up to hard road use but for the price I can 'hear' no discernible difference between it, my previous £250 Line 6 unit and a £500 unit I borrowed. I'm sure with studio headphones or on a test machine, you'll note differences but in the pub/club with a band/PA going I can't see you'd grumble.
