If Wals sounds like that...

Update - @dand666 - going what happened with the A12 -> A12t where the A12t replaced the A12 in it's entirety, I am guessing that the new releases that were announced at NAMM will do the same. The new models haven't gone live on the 64 audio site and apparently no details have been shared to the wider community - but I suspect they will appear imminently. With regards to pricing, again, this is speculation but given that the A12 was replaced by the A12t and there was no price change to reflect that change, it would be fair to assume that the same will hold true for the new models. If you want the latest and greatest and want a 64 Audio ear piece, it may be worthwhile holding back til their release.

spot on!

It's a sound. I'm not sure it's one I like* *actually I am very sure

Is it me... or does this thing sound completely dog?

The UE11s are cheaper than the A4s, the 64 equivalent - unless you are looking at a 64 with a lower driver count. Between the two quad driver options (UE11 and A4), there's no wrong option. Go for a quad though. Choose it based on colours or which name you lilke the best if you want. They both sound different to each other as they are tuned slightly differently... but to be honest, either is going to job better than you could imagine - and you'll only appreciate the subtle differences between the two if you are A/Bing them back and forth. Hey, you may even want to go with the Apex option if you believe that that offers some sort of advantage! With regards to 64 though... I don't really know whats happening in the imminent future. I suspect the range is going to be refreshed with the Tia driver... as at NAMM, they announced the A4t. The A4 may become obsolete - in which case it may be worth going for that now before the A4t comes in, as I suspect the A4t will come with a price rise. I don't know for certain though. Maybe in you speak to Paul at CIEM he may be able to advise - but I suspect he hasn't had the pricing through yet. It would be unlike 64 to offer a blow out on the A4 model - they may even keep offering both the A4 and A4t models... I don't know. You may not even care about all the Tia driver stuff!

Interesting to see Nathan East has got a signature IEM via 64 Audio. "Industry first" for a signature IEM apparently. Raises my eye a little - especially as not too long ago, JH Audio quite publicly collaborated with Slash to produce the hybrid Lola. OK, it hasn't got Slash's name on the final product - but there's no secret that the R and D happened alongside Slash, pretty much, as I'd imagine, like it did with Nathan and 64. And certainly... ACS' George Martin signature was out way before either of them - http://acssignatureseries.com/product/sir-george-martin/ Anyway, Nathan's signature is 8 drivers with an additional dynamic low driver... Called the N8t - which is cute.

Ask Orchid. They are very reasonable with their custom builds.

I wouldn't put RCF or FBT in the same league as L'Acoustics. L'Acoustics is a considerable step up.

Its so you can prove to other people on social media that your life is better than theirs...? that's right isn't it?

Another vote for Orchid here. Ive got a bag full of the things and never had any issues. Sound great, look great and indestructible.

Between us, we are killing rock and roll.

Ped has solved this one for you.

Sennheiser IEM G4 stuff for April. Watch out for bargains on G3! From what I've been reading and from guys that have taken the boards apart, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the G4 to the G3 performance wise. I've read that it's better on channel utilisation and there is increased functionality on the network control side... but the lack of dual diversity and compander, etc have stayed the same.

Looking at a rig - there's the main reason - and it's a valid one. People want the traditional look. re: punch - is more than just a choice of speakers - its also down to the processing and EQ. Lack of depth - that down to the tuning of the cab also. DSP on most modern cabs has been put in to iron out the lumps and bumps. If you like the low end, EQ it in. Most bass cabs have been tuned to colour the sound so it has low end and mid range humps and bumps.

I don't know if I'd agree that they are floor monitors - most are FoH speakers placed on their sides. The ABS plastic is primarily for weight reduction. If you want to move up, move into ply cabs which theoretically has less flex. But that introduces the weight. e.g. 745 vs it's wooden equivalent (NX45A) adds circa 5kg. The thing is, as you get into more and more serious PA, weight seems to be less of a concern. There's some mighty fine cabs out there, but they come without outrageous weights. Take a look at the L'Acoustic 112P for example. Powered Single 12 with compression driver (3"VC), 32kg (about the weight of a Fender twin!). Before long, you are getting into 40kg+ cabs. How far do you want to go? - remember, your FoH is more important, so it would be more wise to invest in that. Lets not forget, Anthony Jackson was doing this with Meyer long before most... and Mike Gordon for that matter. I think they clocked that PA cabs generally far out perform the bass cabs that are commonly sold. Mind you, lets not neglect to mention that Meyer tends to come with a sizeable price tag. Luckily these guys would appear to have a road crew (with fork lifts?! :P) to move their gear.

It's very straight forward - the app for your computer is very good - so useful at home and on gigs, which ever controller/tablet etc you are using. And you can also get a fader board for it if you must have sliders.

Hang on, hang on! Brain wave. Behringer XR18 / Midas MR18 is an interface as well as a mixer! ipad/android/pc/mac control. Midas would probably be the nicer out of the two to have if you want to do recording at home as the preamps are a little bit nicer than the standard ones on the Behringer.

Have you looked at using mixing desks as interfaces? https://www.andertons.co.uk/mackie-dl32r-32-channel-digital-mixer-dl32r This is quite a good deal - 32 ins, 32 out - 14 analogue outs (16 if you include the TRS outs)... is a formidable multitrack recorder in it's own right (records multitrack direct to HD without the need for a laptop or additional i/o card - just drop the recording from the disk into your DAW). All the sockets are built in to the unit without needing breakout boxes (e.g. unlike the X32 rack). Great mixer, great recording interface. You can expand it to handle Dante too if you want to go down that route. Kinda also depends upon you already having an ipad though... which you may or may not have. All that power, in just 3u. If you haven't got an iPad, you may consider the QSC Touchmix 30 as it has a touchscreen built in (also allows remote control via iPad). I know that these are pricey - but they are relatively portable and offer outrageous ins and outs for the money. There's also the X32 Rack - that hasn't got all the I/O available unless you buy breakout boxes - but what is on board by default would probably suit you. Its big advantage is that it's controllable by android/ipad and PC/Mac. It can act as a recording interface, however the direct to SD recorder expansion card has just been released. It's a shame that the Touchmix 16 can't be a recording interface as that would suit the bill nicely - and offers multitrack recording without being connected to a DAW.

Here's my go to setup. Front of house : GB Spitfire -> Shure ULX-D -> Kemper Profiler + Remote (running Chandler/SSL channel strip profile) -> DL32R (FOH) (optional with Waves Multirack if I can be bothered) -> RCF945/8004 Monitor : GB Spitfire -> Shure ULX-D -> Kemper Profiler + Remote (running Chandler/SSL channel strip profile) -> DL32R (FOH) -> DL32R (MON) -> Shure PSM900 -> JH Audio Roxannes Wireless mic follows a similar route... Front of house: Sennheiser EW500 945 -> DL32R (FOH)..... Monitor : (Talkback mic (for over band inears)) Sennheiser 935 with Optogate -> DL32R (MON)... For gigs that warrant it, switch out the DL32R (FOH) for GLD80 No traditional amps here. Not needed! And never been happier! Heres my dep setup (where no inears are available) GB Spitfire -> Shure ULX-D -> Kemper Profiler -> 1 or 2 EBS210 or GB Spitfire -> EBS HD350 > 1 or 2 EBS210

Trying to find you some polyester examples!

Sounds like a successful days shopping.

Doesn't matter what it's worth. If it's your go to bass, it's your go to bass!

Good shout. Make sure it's defo a polyester finish that he puts on though - other finishes will not be hard enough.

What bass are you having doing? Presuming it's a bolt on? If it's only a fingerboard, as opposed to a whole neck, I can't imagine it being silly money. As I say though, make sure it's not just being sprayed, it needs to be radiused and polished.
