100% agree and we share the same ideas and preferences in having a female front person. Good news we now have four possible contenders who seem like they fit well with us. Bandmix has found two ( it was worth paying 3 months membership to allow messaging ) and local FB has found two more Joinmyband !! Terrible result and mostly YouTube stars of the future !! Shame as JMB was the one to use some time back but now it’s full of muppets !

I use mine ( Boss ) for the following Ease of soundcheck Freedom to move a little without standing on my lead No more twisted leads Nice to feel non tethered ! I only need 5-10m max range so it’s perfect without costing £500 !

I’ve been tempted to get the 800w version ! I need the 2.67ohms option which works great with my TH700

I would say a side move at best

I have the 2.4ghz Lekato as backup but the 5.8ghz distortion was very noticeable with all my passive basses so it went back. With many WiFi systems switching to 5.8 it might just be better sticking with 2.4ghz in the long run ?

I found my Lekato distorted the signal slightly 🙄

Hmmm I’m glad I got the Boss WL-50 based on that !! And less than £200 The latency on the boss is very low and range and format is good enough for myself.

Good plan 👍

And … can you actually look like you’re enjoying it instead of standing like you’re set in concrete as you read the lyrics 🎤😂😳😂

Ha ha .. anyway .. back to chatting with the adults on here We have found some potential 👍🤟

This post of mine seems to have stirred up an unnecessary hornets nest !! The good news is we have three contenders for auditions now and we hope to find a good one amongst them Time to Chill guys😂

I can add to this .. Many female singers do not grasp what rock is as a genre ! Many think Adele or Amy Winehouse is rock !! It’s a wide genre for sure but if you say rock to most male singers they have more likely a grasp of the bands this would include. Not always the case and our current female singer ( from the USA ) is awesome and knows exactly what rock is. The hunt continues

Blackpool is a big place !!

We may revisit this problem and find a male vocalist instead Female rock singers of any quality are extremely rare these days The fun of running a band !!

Yes 100% this !! My pet hate is singers standing behind music stands with the words while they read the song and make an emotionless attempt at singing !! Or you tell them you are a rock band and then they ask if you cover Adele or Amy Winehouse lol 😂

Our band has the challenge of finding a new female rock singer for early 2024 OMG how difficult it is with female vocalists and rock ! Applicants so far .. can’t drive, or sung to backing tracks while stiff and expressionless behind a mic, or wants it to make a living or too far away We are based in the derrière end of nowhere called Suffolk / Norfolk and it seems good singer’s especially female are the rarest of finds !! We may have to change plans and get a guy instead !

I went to look at a new stock ABM115H cab in the local PMT store but when I saw it ( clearly a display version ) it was scuffed and even to tolex was ripped. They offered to allow me to take it home and try it which I did but then I returned it and purchased something else. So very helpful but it’s more like a secondhand trader than a new goods outlet

Well … my Jazz Bass is now my number 1 choice !! Yes my PBass is still great but I’m liking the result with the Jazz especially since switching to a Pick

Great band … saw them in Norwich couple of years back

I’ve had many poor “ new” condition products from PMT over the years and vowed to stop using them however I did visit a store and buy my Jazz bass from them. If you see how a typical store is being run it’s no surprise goods cone out not as they should. Part of this is the online returns world we live in and the other is lack of investment in decent paid staff who are trained in customer service etc. Clearly that grubby bass was never inspected before sending out ? Shame on you PMT

My first new combo was the Rumble 100 which died 24hrs later ! Returned and purchased the Ampeg BA110 instead which is still going strong I did try out the V3 cabs and they seemed ok but not so sure how robust they would be at high band volume

I think it applies to the Embassy Pro which is no longer made ??

I’m particularly liking both pups on full and played with a pick

How do these basses compare to say a Jazz bass ? Pick playing for rock … worth a punt or a waste of money !!!
