A thumbs-up from here for BD: ordered some bits late on a Weds, they were here on the Friday morning. All good.

As a time-served weight-saver, I'd take one off and weigh it, just to get a comparison. Good Luck getting Resolites, they're in very short supply right now (well, the 3/8 ones are, the 1/2 maybe not)...

Pubs, pubs, pubs...the odd beer festival (I think a couple last year), but yeah...pubs... -
The drummer and I are locked out of everything but our individual Aux channels on the mixer app...it's his mixer, y'see...

Just for the record, our BL did a recap of 2025, and we did 56 gigs (I also did, IIRC, 8-10 gigs with other bands), and looking at dates, 42 of them were with the Lekato MS-02 system. Probably a dozen rehearsals, too. No dropouts, no issues, most gigs they're switched on for about three hours from start of soundcheck to inevitable encores, no battery life issues. I may have been lucky, but I'm stil rolling with the MS-02s, especially for the money. Still running in mono, mainly because the BL won't cluster two channels to one out of his XR-18 to give me a stereo feed.

While I'm listening to Liv Warfield, this is her absolutely knocking Ann Wilson out of the park (no mean feat in itself) in Nuno Bettencourt's bar band...

I'll see your Raye and Raise you Liv Warfield with the NPG Hornz... 😀

I've spoken to ACS about their Ambient series, and while they do acknowledge there'll be some loss in bass response, their approach has been to design the inears to minimise this. It's a trade-off, I guess, and the results will be acceptable to some and not others. Sadly I don't have the cash to try them out, and like all custom inears it's a leap of faith. I sometimes have to pop one inear slightly out to hear the drums properly (venue/setup depending, especially with deps), and even then (with the bass turned up in my mix), it's plenty. Talking to other band members, though, I think the ACS 'squidgy' casts are more comfortable than the harder shells of some other vendors...I can wear mine for hours, where the other guys (on a long day's session) were getting uncomfortable. I would add that I've done some gigs on the runup to Xmas with bands that don't have the full quiet stage/inears setup, and I absolutely wouldn't go back; not hearing myself clearly and accurately (as well as at a volume I can control) is a deal-breaker for me these days.

Well, if that cheapo really is 7lbs dead with the neck and standard tuners (and if it isn't it's going straight back) then I guess I've got some wiggle room with the neck weight, as it's unlikely a cheapo neck'll be very light, and I'll be fitting Ultralites or somesuch anyway...I note Gotoh do Res-O-Lite cloverleaf tuners (the GRL510C-9) which are almost HALF the weight of Ultralites (36g!), but I can't find them in the UK.

Really? Have you tried them?

Still, it's a lot easier to sit at home and post hoohah than actually get dressed and leave the house... 😀

Two notes from the above (which looks great, I'd be there quite a lot) - Ozric Tentacles? Are they still going? Blimey Charlie, I'd be tempted. And, of course, my new favourite Sabbath Trib name, Children of the Gravy... 😀

I'd also say that any business where the clientele age averages more than 65 is on the slide without new blood anyway...

Ooooo, yer all posh: for a good while (maybe 30 gigs?) I've been using a pair of £62 Lekato MS-02s - super light, tiny and handy, battery lasts hours (never got down to even half the charge lights on them with 4-hour gigs (start to finish)), 5ms latency, no dropouts and even a stereo option that, as mentioned above, I've never got to use...you'll need an XLR to 3.5mm jack adaptor, but that's it...

Y'see, I did apologise for mentioning the t-word...it was only as a comparitive example, yer Honour... 😐😀
