I love them, I use them mainly with a 5 piece indie pub covers band and we run a silent stage with everything through the PA (bass and guitars DId and e drums) and they handle everything brilliantly. Every now and again I get a hankering for a sub, but this is usually when we've not gigged for a while, and as soon as we gig again I realise it would be overkill for the venues we're playing. I've not tried an outdoor gig with just the 935s and no sub, but I've never felt they lack anything for an indoor gig. I've only gigged them in linear mode and we have them pole mounted.

A real revelation for me was moving to a thinner, more flexible pick. I've always been a fingerstyle player, but have tried briefly a couple of times over the years to play with a pick. As it's a bass I thought I needed a really thick inflexible pick and never got on with it, and stupidly never tried anything else. Recently again I needed to use a pick for a couple of songs and I think on the back of something I read on here, I bought a multipack of Dunlop picks. I've now found I get on best with the orange .60 and particularly the red .50 ones. I'm still rubbish with a pick, but much better than I was!

AxelF started following Disaster Area DMC Micro - *SOLD* , Korg Microkey 2 37 , Tourtech TTPB-5S-B small pedal board with soft case - *SOLD* and 2 others

Tourtech small pedal board with soft case, holds ~5 pedals. Dimensions are 500mm x 135mm. It sits quite close to the ground, so I've added some slighly higher feet to accommodate a power supply underneath (these can easily be removed though) and have also cut a slot on the underside to allow for easier installation of the power supply. In good condition, with 3M velcro attached. The soft case is great - nice amount of padding and a really good size side pocket. Looking for £25 delivered within the UK.

NUX Melvin Lee Davis NBP-5 - this is a fantastic preamp with separate drive function and also has an optional cab sim/IR loader that can be applied to either the 1/4" output, the DI, or both. Sweepable mid frequency control for fine tuning. The inbuilt drive is great too - has it's own footswitch, good range from subtle to full on, and has a blend control to mix in your unaffected signal too. Comes with aux in and a headphone jack. More info here on the NUX site. Boxed with instructions and original rubber feet - currently has 3M dual lock on the back. Great condition - has been mounted on a board and kept in a case. £90 delivered within the UK.

Disaster Area DMC Micro midi controller - updated to the new V2 that can display text for patch names. Perfect for controlling Source Audio pedals/Hub, Strymon, Eventide, anything with midi basically. Amazing versatility in a tiny form factor, and even better now that you can name your presets. Boxed with manual and in perfect condition - has been mounted on a board and kept in a case, comes with 3M dual lock on the back. £100 delivered within UK.

How long do you think the one you haven't played for the longest time has sat untouched? I'm curious whether you try and get round them all, or if there are some that never get used?

I think the original was so named because it combined an analogue cab SIM and amPLIFIER.

That's amazing! Great work!

Drummer's hihat/snare side as a few others have said.

Could you not just soundcheck and save that as a scene, then pull all your FoH faders to zero bar 17/18 and save that as another scene?

Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?

I've used the WS90 for about 6 months now with zero drop outs or other issues, they're a bit bigger than I was expecting but perform brilliantly. That's alongside a guitarist's Xvive guitar wireless and three Xvive monitors (though they're all 2.4GHz), plus the router for our XAir and all the audience's devices. -
I did something massively original this week, and bought some new gear that I didn't really need as I fancied a change, only to discover that it wasn't anywhere near as good as my current gear. The tips on my Future Sonics G10s have become loose over time, culminating in one staying in my ear when I took the earphone out just before the first set on Saturday. I then dropped it when pulling it out, delaying the first set for about 5 mins while I scrabbled round on my hands and knees looking for a black headphone tip on a black carpet on a very dimly lit stage... So instead of doing the sensible thing and buying some new tips, gas took over and I remembered how long I'd spent perusing Crinacle's IEM rankings previously. https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/ The Linsoul 7Hz Timeless had jumped out at me as being very favourably reviewed for a reasonable price, and I've fancied giving them a try for a while now (even though I love the sound of the Future Sonics). They arrived yesterday and I spent a while A/B ing them, only to decide that I much prefer the Future Sonics. They just have such an incredible, punchy bottom end - nothing else I've tried has come anywhere close. They're only a single (dynamic) driver, but I've never felt the mids or highs are lacking either. Which begs the obvious question...! Anyway, I'd love to say lesson learned, but we all know that's not true. Best bit is I later found more of the aftermarket tips I'd bought for the FS in my drawer, and they're now good as new. tl/dr: If you're after some very reasonably priced IEMs, give these a go https://www.spectrumseries.biz/ They blow me away! And I love these £3.50 tips. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06X3ZKQPQ/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item
