Tickled Trout must be paying well.

[quote name='crashdesk' timestamp='1474404698' post='3137829'] Hi all, I know Roqsolid do a cover for barefaced super compacts but I need a cover asap (within 2-3 days). Any other quick purchase recommendations. Main concern is waterproofing and walking quite a distance in rain. Cheers!!!! C [/quote] If it's temporary - a wheelie bin bag?

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1474310867' post='3137046'] I think the CS is a distinctly average build. The only thing that perpetuates the whole deal, IMO, is the F on the headstock. People say the 2012 builds upped their game across the board..?? but I just don't think Fender are that interested or committed to that goal, they just want to do enough to continue selling. The really discerning buyer knows there is much better value elsewhere... For example, a Sei J5 would wipe the floor in every respect of a CS, a good few times over but their new prices are comparable. One is a hand made bespoke instrument and the other is a bitsa from other ranges in the brand... namely the American Deluxe. IMHO, of course. The Am Deluxe is discontinued and is replaced by what... a new name and promo campaign..?? [/quote] I'm not sure I agree with that - some of the custom shop builders are world class and work for Fender for the kudos and security that brings. Just because it's not a Martin Peterson bass doesn't mean that an instrument coming out of Fender CS is not on the mark. I've seen some stunning Seis and I've seen some stunning Fenders. I've seen Seis that have done nothing for me and likewise with Fender. And I'm not sure I agree with bitsa element - I know of a guy who chose his woods and everything to the nth degree with a Fender CS build. BS like this on the internet is how throwaway comments turn into Internet fact.

[quote name='Marty Forrer' timestamp='1474324690' post='3137213'] What it sounds like to you on stage is largely irrelevant. What it sounds like out in the audience is what counts. A 30ft lead or a wireless is the only test for a cab, so you can hear what the audience is hearing. [/quote] And if you are going through the PA, the cab is irrelevant anyway.

[quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1474288232' post='3136800'] Looking at it, looks like the same as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.behringer.android.control.app.x32q&hl=en_GB for Allen and Heath? I love the idea of personal mixes - one of the MD's who does theatre work round here uses a set of behringer personal monitors (see: http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/In-Ear-Monitor-Systems/P16-M/p/P0421 ) and it makes theatre pit playing an absolute joy. [/quote] That's pretty much it. And the equivalent hardware unit for A&H is the ME1.

The other thing to be wary of is manufacturers that time the cabinet with a distinct midrange hump. This cons the ear into thinking its a lot louder than the next cab.

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1474034896' post='3135174'] and people ask me why i have a problem using IEM!!!! Constructive suggestion 1: Play the engineer some music where you can demonstrate the type of mix you want. If he says the kit just wont do it without distorting you need to look at that. Some folks just dont get bass and how it works live as opposed to on a record so he may be taking the wrong approach eq wise? Constructive suggestion 2 : Go back to using the 50 year old tried and tested method of using an amp. I dont mean that in a flippant way either. I am seriously suggesting the band go back to using good old amplification. If you can play together using IEMs then you already have a decent level of respect for each others volumes so maybe just go back to it. You can still use the IEMs when its an absolute necessity or as well as, and you can still use the FOH either way. If our drummer used an electronic kit there would be no need for the sort of volumes that call out for multiple monitor and IEM solutions. All IMO !!!!!!!! [/quote] IEMs are easy if you have got the gear. You just need a tablet that controls your individual mix and screw everybody else ;-) Let the sound man concentrate on foh.

There's a post on here that makes for interesting reading - http://www.head-fi.org/t/802642/rev33-reduces-symptoms-of-temporary-tinnitus-and-ear-fatigue

I think ultimately one person has to own the PA but even then that's not without its problems. An example of a function band I was in - Even though I bought a kick ass PA - lets just say the desk alone was 6k, one day, the "band leader" decided that he wanted to own a PA.. So just like that, my PA became obsolete. No advance warning or anything - but it was interesting to see that he only said once all the gear he was buying was in his possession as he still wanted the use of my gear. Pretty dirty trick.

Why do they insist of making stuff that looks pants - stick that in a strat and it looks like a stupid toy. Don't like the idea of no batteries - getting to a gig with it flat and you can't use it... The ease of sticking batteries in it just seems more appealing? Latency figures aren't great again though I see.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1473517873' post='3130948'] I would not be looking for phase issues. Totally not. Nope [/quote] Hahaha! Brilliant!

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1473509436' post='3130841'] I must admit that I would be looking for some possibility of phase issues. Balaned output but mono jack going to some sort of balanced at the other end? [/quote] EW300 G2 is balanced/unbalanced XLR. (This was changed for combo jacks on G3). Im guessing an XLR is in use - the outputs on the desk are balanced XLRs - so it's going to be balanced XLR to XLR.

Are your auxes set to prefader on your desk? Again, if you are using the onboard QU fx, latency isn't going to be an issue either - the latency on the onboard a&h fx processors is significantly under 1ms. I would reset the sennheiser transmitter and receiver pack and do a clean setup just to make sure your haven't got anything out of shape on it. If you know what you are doing, limit on the desk and not the pack - the limiter on the a&h is a lot more natural than what the pack gives you. I'm a bit confused about your statement about plugging into the headphone port on the ew300 though. That's not the same as plugging straight into the aux - or are you talking about something different again? Wired mic is good - it takes the question of radio mic with long latency out of the picture completely.
