  1. They are completely different animals. I would not form any opinion on the custom molds based on the universal ones. 15dB is pretty minimal if you are right next to the PA stack but for goodness sakes put them in both ears!!!!!
  2. Choice!
  3. Photograph the ins and outs of your mixer for someone to tell you how to patch in another amp all crossed over for your subs. There should be some external fx route or main mix insert that you can fire the whole orchestra through to a crossover. Easy and cheap.
  4. I recommend not going down the BG on a stick route. The flatness of the fingerboard can only give you bad juju at both ends forcing you to adapt your techniques to its cranky form. The Stagg has holes for the rests both sides. You could make a set of more substantial additions to better mimic a full body experience and use those holes to key into. Kinda defeating the main aim of the stick ie portability, but suits your purpose.
  5. Swings and roundabouts. I was coming down the escalator from a casino gig with sack truck piled up with Trace Elliot. At bottom is drunk fan waiting to "help me off". No amount of screaming at him to get out of the fine way was working until the penny dropped at the last second.
  6. Cheaper by far to buy another amp and do active management.
  7. Looks homely enough to me. BYO lawn chairs and all. Shame about the F&B as that's the next thing people remember if the band is good or bad.
  8. The Stagg hip prop is made of aluminium so it can be customized to you. It can't twizzle if it's on your hip.
  9. Show me a photo of someone using the weight of their shoulder and arm to put pressure on strings.
  10. Yes. But it will require trimming high and low to conform to norms.
  11. The only Oceans music that comes to mind is the funky as all getout jazz running through one of them, or is it the same for all?
  12. Bass 10" speakers vary widely in their tuning requirements. It is impossible to make a recommendation without the cab and porting dimensions.
  13. No such saturation is possible for quite awhile yet. The first generations of electric bassists are rapidly popping off but their instruments are highly collectible so new bassists need to buy something else.
  14. Cabs don't rustle. Could be a scratchy pot, no big deal. At least it looks like it has had an easy life.
  15. I only replaced my Cool Cat because it was a heavy lump. Actually it sounded more lush than the MXR that was the better fit on my sumo board. Nought wrong with cheapies if they sound how you want.
  16. A nicely pumped up kick will sound much better coming from a well placed sub or two. Just don't get carried away. You could easily catch lead kick syndrome.
  17. Go for gold mate.
  18. We know what it does and we like it. We would like it more if the suggested improvement was made in new stompbox products.
  19. I am pretty sure Neuman will have a lawyer to write to fleabay telling them to do better. Send your info to them.
  20. I am pretty sure that is absolute peanuts compared to when the figure was set. Could be wrong. Our IRD is far more crafty and defines business as anything you do regularly that turns a profit. No definition of regular!
  21. What's a good and cheap vintage looking vocal mic? Love the look of the old school stuff that used to sit on a pedestal stand for the vocalist to pivot around.
  22. Had a gig in a cocktail bar that liked to get rowdy with a DJ later. My PA cab and amp went on top of their massive overkill 2x18 sub and my little sub went on the other side in the other corner. No wukin' furries. Point being subs like being up against walls and particularly in corners. Then they run really low power as the boundary reinforcement gets free dB. Just put your subs to one side or the other and be far enough from the rear wall that you don't have a gnarly 1/4 wavelength cancellation. At 14ft out you get another reinforcement at 80hz which is the breadbasket of your kickdrum. One side of the room will be more bassy than than the other but not enough that anyone consciously notices.
