    I don't think your brain would notice ears being out of phase as that happens all the time with sounds arriving at one ear before the other.

    IEMs are an upgrade from normal ear plugs...

    To enable the headphones over AUX it looks like you have to select 'listen' for that particular AUX out. So doesn't look like something that would be done accidentally. And I've never seen a line level input 'blown' by putting headphone level output into it. You just get an awful lot of distortion. So even if you did have something connected to that AUX and selected Listen, it would be unlikely to do any damage. Consumer electronics are very robust.

    Page 69. Alt Out (CQ-20B) The Alt Out provides an alternative balanced TRS output connection. Source – Select any other Output or route the Listen out.  If Listen is set, when no Listen button is pressed, the Alt Out will be sourced from Main LR.  Listen is sent to the Alt Out at full volume for use with IEM systems that have input level control. For adjustable level, the headphone output should be used.

    Yes. I guess one problem with WiFi is people having their phones searching for SSIDs all the time. Latching onto your transmitter and trying to see if they can connect.

    Interesting piece. https://2loud2oldmusic.com/2020/06/22/the-original-vs-the-cover-its-my-life/

    I suspect alcohol causes by far the most issues in bands. Whether that's from the players or the audience. I started to list the gigs that have gone wrong due to alcohol but gave up, suffice it to say: keep your wits about you at gigs where there are a large number of 40 something women.

    When you're a millionaire sticking it to the man becomes harder to carry off.

    Funnily enough I watched an interview of a Bass player by a drummer. Both professional players. The drummer's aim of the series of interviews was to find out what musicians wanted from drummers and various general tips. The bass player pointed out there was a difference between substance use and substance abuse. And that it's a fine line. He'd never seen anyone fired for not having a beer on stage with them, but seen plenty not hired again for just having a single beer. This was the US though and they can have very puritanical views.

    It's a Paul Webb bassline, copied note for note by Tony.

    Nice. I have a hankering after one of these. Not much on the forum about them. Anyone else have experience of them?

    I'd be looking at the power supply as an 'allowance' or replacement to existing power supply, although possibly its an 'upgrade'. Batteries are consumables. Grey area. Pedalboard - Tier 1 fail. Any paint or screws you buy to fashion one out of scrap wood would be scrutinised. Photos would have to be supplied.

    It is not GAS. I think the intention of the thread is to control rampant GAS. Technically anything that you buy to fix GAS itch should be covered (there's probably some special cream you can buy)

    Ok. I'll play. I have a PA for sale and some bass shaped cash I need to get rid of. But going on past experience it could take several days (365+) to find the right bass shaped hole to put it in. Is lighting mentioned anywhere in the fail tiers?

    I've been itching to buy a new bass all year but may get down halfords next week and buy some emery paper for the frets. Although I'm really not impressed with the replacement Active preamp I bought. Sometimes you have to call it a day...

    I hope 2026 brings some improvement. I don't know how old your son is but hope he can get the help he needs.

    Sounds like you might not have the right spec cable.

    If it is poly, then the recommended removal method is a heat gun and scraper.

    There are ways. But ultimately as long as you don't use caustic soda, dipping will be no different to any other method.

    It applies to all instruments. Keyboard players who insist on being in stereo and drummers who expect their kick drum to knock down tall buildings.

    Unfortunately this is often the root cause of 'not cutting through'. Educating guitarists that 'their tone' which sounds great at home is banjaxing the whole mix. Getting them to roll off slightly on the mids might help.

    I played at our local jam on Boxing Night. As the 'only bass player in the village' I get the dubious honor of playing for 4 hours without a 'break'. Anyway - the pub now has a DJ with a 16 Track PA, subs and tops. So I left my amp and cab at home and dug out my StudioSpares DI (last used before Y2K). 5 minutes fiddling with the PA (bass, parametric mid, and treble) and bingo. I sounded just like me. I still don't know how to describe what that sound is though.

    Susie Dent was on Russell Howard podcast earlier this year. She was Suzie Dent and didn't come across as particularly engaging. But I enjoyed it, it was calm.

    Sounds familiar. It takes a lot of persuasion to get in, and then quite a bit more to get it out.

    I've only ever used GEQ to notch out problem frequencies. Using the PEQ on each mic to tailor the sound of each chanel to sit in the mix. If the mics are pre-set to sit in the mix in a neutral (rehearsal) room then there still might be a small amount of tweaking on some mic chanels to reduce problem frequencies due to stage acoustics, especially if backline is being used and set too loudly.
