mrtcat - how you getting on since getting your ue900s into customs?

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1502465969' post='3351708'] Tims stuff is a photo image on clear acrylic, so not an actual chrome over brass plate...it just looks like that from a distance. Hope this helps. [/quote] I was going to say, there are very, very few people doing full on brass with chrome plating in the pick guard world.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1502396513' post='3351236'] Pm timal he's a member here and makes them to order is website is originalscratchplates. Com I think [/quote] Does he do chrome on a brass plate? If so, could have save me a load of trouble!

[quote name='steviedee' timestamp='1501582258' post='3345619'] Hi folks and apologies for being lazy but this is a monster thread! I just bought a pair of Ultimate ear Triple Fi 10s, the drummer in my band had his re-shelled in Florida by [url="https://www.inearz.com"]https://www.inearz.com[/url] and they have done an awesome job, I was thinking of using them. I reckon there should be no duty as it's a repair (maybe). But is there anyone in the UK who you would recommend to re-shell? Thanks! [/quote] They would be liable for duty because they are a modification - not a repair from the manufacturer. custom inearmonitors use inearz for their reshells.

Check my build - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/297528-chrome-scratchplate/ If there was enough interest and money up front, it may be possible to do a run for P fans...

Is it a multitrack wav?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1502042446' post='3348932'] You don't need the whole mountain of them though! [/quote] My aim is to have one rig in each room of my house...

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1501603886' post='3345861'] Ha ha - yes and he doesn't even use them live anymore! [/quote] Only when theres no IEM option available to me!

Billy Ocean has still got it. If you ever get the chance to see him, I urge everybody to make the effort - his band is superb and his voice is incredible - he can still hit all the notes and you will not hear him off key all night.

I sold mine after it burnt my wrist.

The secret to the EBS cab is the crossover paired with the Eminence drivers... so if you like the excitable highs, that's what you'll need.... You could always find the cheapest EBS cab you can find and use it as a donor cab and get the speakers and crossover into a lighter box... Gunsfreddy's setup is interesting though - the SWR has a lot of highs too... and some would argue that the crossover is more sensible.

PMT now have a demo one in stock in Brum. Taking orders for end of the month...

You know if Trace Elliot actually managed to get that Elf to market...

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1500593074' post='3339039'] Cheers all -usefull stuff there. Do you isolate your subs , or maybe just not use them on boomy floors? [/quote] No - they should couple to the floors. If the room is "boomy", you need to tune your PA to the room using a 31 band eq on the outputs.

RCF 705s are probably the best for your system. They are good capable subs and a good match for your tops. They won't pin you to the wall but they will fill out the sound nicely. What you have to remember is that they are only really there for your kick and a bit of sub bass - you don't actually want loads of deep down bass in most gig situations as thats when things get swampy. The biggest improvement you'll notice is that it takes all the energy sapping lows out of your tops and enable you tops to work more freely with the frequencies that they excel at. I would always recommend a pair with a couple of tops, better to work your subs not as hard to keep things tight in the lows without running out of puff. It all depends how loud your band is - but with a rock band, two tops, two subs sounds great and aesthetically looks better than having tripod stands. I have experience of a band with the 12 inch RCF subs - they aren't actually too bad for what they are... they will fill out the bottom end but they won't pump out the lows at any considerable volumes. What I will say though, is that you will need some sort of compressor/limiter and at least a gate on kick drum, without, the sub will struggle to put out anything particularly useful. The big advantage is the weight and size. Dead easy to lift and transport. When you go above a 15, the weight and physical size tends to become an issue. What I will say though, is that your cabs are fairly entry level and instead of investing in subs, you may want to consider chopping them in for some more cable front of house. I've talked about a couple of cabs across the forum and those are the RCF 735 and 745 cabs. As single 15inch cabs, they will keep up with a lot of smaller tops and sub setups of other manufacturers... check out this link - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/293804-gigging-without-a-pa/page__view__findpost__p__3161870"]#164[/url] - gives you an idea about what those cabs are about. They 3 and 4 inch voice coils make a BIG difference over the competition.

Nice one!

Having had both, was going to say Hotcovers > Roqsolid but it looks like your decision has been made!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1500036446' post='3335275'] My thoughts too on the mag connection and if it does get snagged it'll just pull off instead of just pulling you back and you'll lose your mix.... [/quote] Just seen Vitaliy talking about it at NAMM - I think he envisioned it to be used primarily for drummers and keys players. From what I've seen, it's a less feature rich P9HW with a mag connector... I guess it's success will largely depending upon what price tag they decide to put on it.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1500040606' post='3335307'] He's awsome. Had a beer with him and Michael League in a sh*t club in Cheltenham. [/quote] I caught up with him at the Glee Club in Birmingham. Was actually really blown away by Nick Semrad's playing on that gig... but naturally, everybody's focus was on Cory. Said to Nick that he clearly had the most mad (e.g. outrageously brilliant) solo of the night... If you haven't seen him, check him out too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8j7XJxew7s&feature=youtu.be The guy can play, the guy can sing... man, I'd so dig playing bass on one of his gigs... mind you, with Sharay Reed and Mononeon as first calls, I can't see me getting the shout any time soon. Man, I can only imagine what a collaboration between Cory and Prince would have come up with...

I've been pondering this mag connection... the only benefit I can see to it over a pair of XLRs is the reduction in weight. I'm not aware of anybody wearing a body pack with a dual XLR belt pack having problems with damaged XLRs. If the XLR can't survive a short tug, the cables were always destined to break at some point. Not keen on the idea of a cable that is proprietary either... if you break an XLR two on a gig, chances are you'll have a spare or be able to beg, steal or borrow one from somewhere. With this magnetic connection, you are pretty much dependent upon 64 Audio being able to supply you with one... so I would be buying at least one spare. Given the rip off cost of IEM cables, I can't imagine it will be an insignificant cost. I'll wait and see... cost is going to be a huge driver for this success. If they are pitching this against the Shure P9HW, I think it's going to bomb... The Shure is pretty feature rich and does sound great. The 64 offering needs to be competing with the LD, Behringer etc belt packs of the world - maybe they can justify a slight premium over those... but certainly not astronomically more... but given their massive hike in IEM prices, maybe they are gunning for the Shure...? (Having heard the Shure, it is really nice - and certainly way above the standard offerings... but at approximately 6 times the price!) Gunsfreddy2003 - try dropping 64 a message - they may include a mic input on gen 2 - if there is such a thing in the pipeline.
