[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1476622558' post='3155676'] Not bothered than "maybe" being digital will have a thinner tone, my back will love them no matter what they sound like lol. [/quote] The digipro amps cannot be put in the same basket as the infamous B&O unit... Just because they are digital amps doesn't mean that they are lacking... For example, Powersoft and Digipro (via RCF) have enough presence in the pro PA world to disprove any of these so called "heft" deficiencies!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1476650649' post='3156044'] You know me so well The G2 is still a good system yeah? [/quote] Yes - its like the G3 without the bells and whistles. The audio and RF are comparable - with the exception that the G3 uses both the inbuilt antenna and headphone cable as aerials. The G3 has slightly lower noise floor - but negligible once you are playing.

Dood - just go for the radio... by the time you have sorted all the units and the cables you still won't be happy. Bite the bullet and get a Sennheiser... or a G2 off eBay.

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1476616374' post='3155611'] This is what concerns me. [/quote] Haha good point. If they can send a wedge mix, they should be able to send an ears mix...

If you can stretch to these - [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/db_technologies_opera_715_dx.htm"]https://www.thomann....pera_715_dx.htm[/url] These are a much better deal - lighter, louder and more residual value for resale at the end. RCF sister brand so you know you are going to be ok. :-) Or as a meet in the middle you have the 515 - https://www.thomann.de/gb/db_technologies_opera_515_dx.htm

Solution is simple - desk aux to headphone amp on top of your amp... then headphone extender cable that is plugged into passive volume control on your belt.

[quote name='6feet7' timestamp='1476467172' post='3154649'] I've just started in a new band and we were discussing in ears last night at rehearsal. We've just got to find the best for the least amount of money [/quote] If you go to the big thread linked above and read through that, it has all the information you'd ever want... and more. Worth the read.

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1476465700' post='3154639'] Do any of you guys using IEMs NOT use your own PA? Would it be a lot more difficult if you were to use them with a house PA/engineer? [/quote] You can use an XLR split box and split front of house and have your own mixer doing all the monitor stuff if you want to be that much in control of it. Any decent foh engineer should be able to send you something half decent though.

And in the other corner... http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/special-offers?manufacturer=12

Looks like it. Great slacks too.

[quote name='Dynamic' timestamp='1476460512' post='3154567'] 3 v 6 - 6 is better. UE18 is a great monitor, sells really well in the audiophile market. I've listened to 15 and 18 drivers per side, complete waste of money. I do know who manufactures the Westone monitor BARs, they are a reputable company... [/quote] Ha - I don't know about complete waste of money - but certainly there are different sound signatures... and only you can decide whether that sound signature is worth the money. But I agree, there's lots of BS around with driver count. If you are cramming in drivers just to up the count, you are going to be onto a loser... unless you can really nail the crossovers and phasing issues.

Come to think of it, my RBX came with coloured ball ends too...

This would suggest otherwise however - http://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/bb/bb424/?mode=model

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1476296278' post='3153183'] They are strung with Yamaha strings. Very difficult to find in the UK. They are nickel and will be 45-105 roundwounds so any decent make with that spec will be OK. [/quote] I thought they came with stainless? I seem to recall I used to source them - 45, 65, 80, 105, 125 In fact, I have found the email response from Yamaha when I asked that very same question (for a BBNE2) - [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]They are the [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Yamaha[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] H4050 Electric Bass 5 [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Strings[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]:[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Note Diameter Tension*[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] (Inch) (mm) (Lbs) (Kg)[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]G 0.045 1.14 42.4 19.2[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]D 0.065 1.65 48.1 21.8[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]A 0.085 2.16 49.0 22.2[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]E 0.105 2.67 40.6 18.4[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]B 0.125 3.18 28.3 12.8[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]* 34" (864mm) scale length[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]DL[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Yamaha[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Customer Support[/size][/font] [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] 714-522-9000

[quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1476449494' post='3154418'] Great, now I want a Stingray again. [/quote] Aye, Stingray want comes and goes with me too... 20th Anniversary 4 string in particular.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1476458065' post='3154536'] Where are the BF cabs? [/quote] Where are the fanbois?

Sounds like an interesting offer. How does the 3 aside compare to the 6 aside of the UE18s? I'm just wondering if there is going to be enough headroom in the bass - that has always been the let down of triples (or less) for me in the past. Do you know what BAs are in there? Knowles or Sonion? Or a combination? Specially manufactured drivers to Westone spec? (Or a secret!?)

[quote name='hen barn' timestamp='1476441924' post='3154322'] We all need to speak to one of the big company's!! If we can make a car park itself we must be able to make a bass guitar sound like a bass synth with out the fart noises!! [/quote] Its mainly down to a bass being crap as a trigger...

[quote name='DaytonaRik' timestamp='1476440212' post='3154292'] He's an old school dinosaur when it comes to things like sound reinforcement...more backline is good is his mantra. funnily enough - he swapped to a 15w Victory Kraken amp and loves it instead of his 50w rip-yer-head-off-at-10-paces Earl! Part of the problem is a limited number of monitor channels on the analog desk that we use. That said - I'm sure we could run 1 for the twin guitars and another for the drummer/myself who want a more shall we say rounded mix, not a me me me me me mix! Myself and the 2nd lead guitar try to educate. We'd go DI or isolation cab even in a pub if we had our way [/quote] I'm sure that something like an XR18 would scare the bejesus out of him. "What is this remote mixing by tablet voodoo?"

No experience - 370 for a quad is pretty good... but I'd still take a UE900 over one (under 200 from eGlobal)

[quote name='hen barn' timestamp='1476425329' post='3154105'] I want a pedal!!!! Some must want to make one??? [/quote] Nup - and they won't track like they need to either. This, Chaka's "We can work it out" and Whitney's "I wanna dance with somebody" synth tones... if only there was a pedal...

[quote name='AndrewJordan' timestamp='1476366229' post='3153682'] Cheers for the link to the other thread EBS freak! I hadn't seen it. Just read a page or two and there is some very good info in there! [/quote] No problem - I think if people realised that running IEMs on a modern setup (e.g. digital desk) is really straightforward now, a lot more people would be doing it.

Yup - I think that wins the award for the best looking small format amp. That milled aluminium looks gorgeous.

Absolutely agreed! I'm the biggest IEM fan - and so keen to hear and understand all the tech at all price points. These Westones have got my attention as they are a bit different to everything else on the market. Having used the filter ear plugs in anger and having tried ambient ported IEMs, I am intrigued to if Westone have actually made some successful inroads in addressing the problems inherently present with that kind of tech.
