    Mrs. WoT plays it with a few bands...

    Cheers, Mr. Hunt! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

    I've just heard back from Leszek - if anyone has been in touch and hasn't had a reply, pop him another email. @warwickhunt has borrowed this one for couple of gigs. Once I wrestle it back off him, I'll be giving it another run out at a couple of gigs this weekend :-)

    I've just picked up a TC BG250-208 to replace my recently deceased Promethean. It's very nice with all the right features, and perfect for what I use it for (acoustic - as in *acoustic* - rehearsals). I'm not sure I'd use it at an open mic, and certainly not anything with a drummer.

    That's odd - he's pretty responsive when I contact him. I'll send him a link to the thread.

    Just to check, have you been emailing [email protected]?
  7. wateroftyne
    Fixed it for ya :-)

    Here's a little Q4n clip from a dep I did last night. The camera is behind the PA, so you're just getting backline and the backside of the monitors.

    Hello! When is it? I used it last night at a dep gig, which was P-and-flats all the way. It's SO SOLID AND FAT.

    Ibanez Promethean P5110... if you can find one. Amazing little things.

    Not tediously boring at all. Very enlightening, thank you.
  13. wateroftyne
    Yeah - I've read a lot of comments about them, mostly from people saying they just use them at rehearsals. I'm intrigued as to how common they are during concerts.
  14. wateroftyne
    There’s such a fundamental relationship between the musician, their peers, the room acoustics and the mood the conductor is in, I’m amazed even the lightest attenuation doesn’t strip too much of it away.
  15. wateroftyne
    Wow - I’m genuinely suprised at that.
  16. wateroftyne
    Ear protectors surprises me. Are they worn, do you know? Just during rehearsals, or for the performances, too?
  17. wateroftyne
    I'm quite surprised I seem to be alone in this. Orchestras rely on individual dynamics for nuance. There's no-one in FOH to tweak the balance. How on earth is an orchestral player supposed to nail dynamics whilst wearing ear protection?
  18. wateroftyne
    OK...
  19. wateroftyne
    You can't see what's impractical about an viola player performing in an orchestra with ear protection? Seriously?
  20. wateroftyne
    It's so impractical as to suggest it's not worth them even showing up.
  21. wateroftyne
    ...or the furniture is rearranged so no-one is sitting immediately in front of the brass.
  22. wateroftyne
    Of course not. Nor is it practical to wear earplugs. The inference being that there has to be a third way...
  23. wateroftyne
    Yes indeed.
  24. wateroftyne
    To be blunt, you’re going to have to suck it up and move on.
  25. wateroftyne
    I can't see a problem with the ruling. Is it even practical to wear earplugs in an orchestra..?
