No - some are better than others... whereas some don't even have the correct mics.

There's plenty of custom builders that do similar... It's a big reason why people commission basses... And for those builders that just build for stock, the wood they put out is hardly driftwood. I think Fodera is being given too much credit for choosing nice pieces of wood.

So if it's not a sound thing - but more a movement of air, you may want to look into a eich bass board, a kt platform, a woojer or a backbeat.

Is this true though? Or is it part of the Fodera hype that makes people think it's true?

OK - is that a feeling thing for you on stage - or out front? What are your FOH speakers?

For when you want your Ferrari and can't afford the new price... or you can afford it - but don't want to sit on a waiting list for months/years...? ...or both...

Why aren't you using inears in the smaller venue? You won't need subs in the smaller venue - and with IEMs and PA tops that are capable of taking your bass, why aren't you just running with that...? Most decent sized PA cabs will take bass no problem - are you running quite small tops or something?

I hope he's recording direct. Any mics are going to be picking up a hell of a lot of squeaks and creaks from those gig strides.

When was the last time we heard a drum that wasn't augmented with samples for example...?

It was tongue in cheek.

So basically, the P bass goes down as a guide track so the real bass can be synthed over on top...?

Trick question... a real pro would use anything to hand. I suspect Scott was just looking to get a cash injection into his Youtube earnings knowing full well that this sort of convo would spawn. How many people have gone to Youtube to view his video from this convo alone?

I have probably seen/played 7 or 8 Foderas up close... and I was a little disappointed by the finish to be honest - sanding marks under the finish don't really float my boat. Wal is an interesting one. Certainly the woodwork is nothing amazing - it's the sound of the pre and pickups that get that "Wal" sound. Funny thing is, I'm not fussed for it... and I think the controls, for me at least, aren't intuitive enough for live use. Fenders are overpriced... *cough cough* Musicman. (How and why did they become so expensive...?)

As if most people would even know the difference.

So a rack, XR16 and a router? (It's the separate router that's annoying you isn't it? - That and you want to wire a rack panel with a power con on it! )

The keywhat? That lady's outfit. Cool stagewear. Anyway, back to the guys on the left.. whats with the cuffs... and that waistcoat? I think the clothing needs to be addressed before we even start on the instruments. (Although, isn't that one of those Dingwall Thunderbirds?)

There’s got to be a viral “smashed a Fodera” opportunity...?

Ha! Now the fun begins. The question is though... what’s in it?

That’s actually a very valid point. The new case design is actually very lovely though... Anyway, if you fancy a night of soldering club and make up lots of looms and racks, @stingrayPete1977 Is your man. (scarpers out the room)

The 9v thing is always a nightmare for wireless. They just don’t last very long. Terrible battery life on the PSM200, same with EW300 G1. If that’s your benchmark of audio, you are gonna be in for a treat with the EW300 G3/4

Performance wise, there’s nothing between them. The only upgrade so to speak is the case and the menu system. The RF and audio performance remains the same. I would pay the 47 quid based on the fact that the resale if you ever chose to, will be higher on the G4 - and will make back that 47 quid no problem.

I don't have any experience of JTS directly - personally, I wouldn't recommend anything but a Sennheiser EW300 or Shure PSM300 (with pro pack) as a benchmark (I'd take the Sennheiser over the Shure for the flexibility with the RF tuning - you don't get the same sort of flexibility until you get to the PSM900) but I do appreciate thats quite a price hike over the JTS. I know that doesn't help you in regard to the level of the JTS perfomance - but the compander is such an important aspect of a wireless IEM system, especially for a bass player (e.g. the one on the PSM200 is so poor, it doesn't do any favours for people looking to get into IEMs as it eats all the bass and makes the top end really harsh... and you have no option but stereo) that I would say you should stay wired, or save up to push for a EW300. I think that everybody that has bought an EW300 on my recommendation will be able to confirm their performance is very, very good... but having tried other systems in the past, well, they weren't for me. Are you wired at the moment (both from an IEM point of view and a bass point of view), or are you looking at getting into IEMs? The reason I say this, is that if you have a fixed budget, staying wired and investing in a decent set of customs will ultimately score you a better solution...? EDIT: just remembered, you have just bought some ZS10s so I guess you are now looking at moving your IEM solution on.

Oh yeah - stupid me... you did tell me. Yeah, the split mix should move it up a notch or two again. The dinorigs(tm)

Oh. It was an autocorrect anyway. But yeah, I'll go with your pun! 😛
