You forgot the Samson power distribution unit. :-p

Squints... PSM 300, LD1000... XSW, X32, Kemper. I like this game :-)

Martin is a class act with regards to fitting LEDs. He goes in via the side of the neck, lower side.

The cost of the Countryman H6 generally scares people off!

Nice

I don't get the "dark" thing. Everytime I've played a bass with Barts I kinda find the opposite. Maybe they just require a circuit?

Sennheiser ME3 - a good mic without going into silly money. Drummers and vocals are always quite tough without outboard available. What you really want is the ability to gate his vocals when he isn't singing, and make sure you have a 31 band EQ to notch out any problematic frequencies. Digital desks are king. You may want to explore the gooseneck attachment approach too - [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/vocal-miking-for-the-singing-drummer/"]http://www.sweetwate...inging-drummer/[/url] - just make sure you go for a compact mic. Great thing is that you can mute it and swing it out of the way when not in use - minimises the risk of a panting drummer coming out of front of house. Hope this helps.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1460669577' post='3027816'] Fantastic - thanks Russ - done some research and some creative thinking and have hatched a plan. I think I'll go for the 4u option and start drilling - more than likely into the blanking plate of the iem transmitter (the bit that the aerial screws into). I'll procure the bits needed and get busy with the soldering iron. Rack porn photos will be posted in due course. Thanks for taking the time to give me the steer with this. [/quote] No problems. Would recommend you check this too - [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/double-door-flight-cases/road-ready-rrwm4u-4u-wireless-microphone-case"]https://www.bax-shop...microphone-case[/url] = although check out whats going on with the foam in the lids. It's not as deep so less wasted space inside - just check the measurements are suitable for your needs. RoadReady cases are amongst the best cases I've used or seen, along with Amptown cases. The latter are pretty expensive though. Drilling through the IEM plate should be easy enough. A couple of grommets and you are away. Powercon could be more tricky to drill though! Looking forward to the pics. Good luck!

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1460628514' post='3027336'] Damn that XR18/IEM set up looks good. I really like the power strip idea and want to do the same myself. Was this purchased as a unit or did you make it up yourself? If purchased could you please share the detais so I can look into making a puchase or if made details of the components used and where they came from. Do you have photos of the rear? Don't want much do I [/quote] Made up myself. The bottom strip consists of: Neutrik DBA-BL - blanking plates Neutrik NC3FD-LX B - Chassis mount female XLR Neutrik NAC3MPA-1 - Powercon Socket M3 Nylon bolts and M3 Screws (socket head) Neutik SCDR boot - for Powercon Socket rear I had the 6 hole D type rack panel hanging around, not sure what it is but there's something very similar here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PSG03788-Rack-Panel-1U-6-D-Type-PRO-SIGNAL-/191500430568? You'll need to solder and heat shrink some flying cables (I use VanDamme star quad cable) to the rear of the XLRs on the panel mount mount and put a NC3MXX male XLR connector on each end. Theres a length of cable ties going across the width of the rack in order to attach the cables to avoid stress in the solder joints during transit. On this particular case, Road Ready 6u effects case, from bax shop, there's a handy rail to tie such things onto. Also on these same internal rails, I've mounted a psu from abcproducts (eBay) to get rid of the wall wart plug. From the Powercon, the power is split between the Behringer and this PSU to provide power to the IEMs. The top panel is simply a 1u blanking strip. Try to get a u shaped one instead of a flat one as there is less flex in the u shaped ones. You could get away with a 4u case if you wanted the same if you are prepared to drill the XR18 rack ears, which I know a few people have done. You could drill a hole for each of the leads going straight to the inears unit. In which case, I would suggest a cable passing straight through with a gromet in the rack ear where you have drilled to prevent cable rub. The power would of course, take a thicker drill bit and some precision drilling to line up the holes for the M3 bolt. The owner of this case is not too sure if he wants to add stuff to the rack, hence the choice of 6u - gives options down the line. There is nothing mounting on the back yet as there is no need to even take off the back. It's planned to be just placed on the back lid and the top is removed as in the photo and everything is available from there. To be fair the case is fairly deep, maybe twice the depth it needs to be - but the guy I'm building it for is planning to put all his XLR cables in a bag and store it in the rear of the rack... Hope this helps.

[quote name='thestick' timestamp='1460492568' post='3026294'] Would it be possible to put a east curicut in my Spitfire without too much disruption ? Is it a matter of taking one out and fitting new in? [/quote] I would say it's not too difficult as the hole spacing looks the same. You would be left with a redundant switch though. I would take take your original circuit off your hands if you were thinking about moving it on.

Tonyf - we need more rack porn IEM setups in this thread!

Working on a new rig for a mate. XR18 and IEM rig. Proper versatile setup. All front mounted sockets, including the power so to avoid bending down too far when plugging in all the channels. Nice little stage box that sits next to the drums. Three piece band, two individual mono feeds from the IEM transmitter (with two receivers), one wired solution to the drums. Spare rack for potential inclusion of a dbx drive rack maybe, or further IEM system if they ever want to go down the stereo route in the future.

Not at all. Set up your PA and play a stereo Beatles track through it. Stand to one side of the stage and listen and ask yourself if you are getting the full picture.

You are right, it's a John circuit and Bernie has been exploring It as an alternative vibe to the Rumour circuit.

That's psychoacoustics for you!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1459762104' post='3019204'] What's not to like?? [/quote] I love the logo.

When I saw the title, I thought you'd be having a switching system in there - but you haven't. Ditch the rack!

My question about the bass is that I have a good idea who the bass player is and the use of a certain bass and colour would confirm that information.

You may or may not find this interesting reading. http://www.thehamsters.co.uk/interviews/bassist.php

What bass was he playing?

Audere https://www.audereaudio.com/index.htm and John East's J Retro http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/j-retro-01.html spring to mind. You can mount pretty much any preamp to a jazz bass (most come with stack pot variations) but some will require additional routing as putting a battery in the cavity takes up the lion's share of the space. Also worth noting the a stack pot takes up more room under the plate than a single pot. The two above are designed to fit in the cavity with no routing.

Its not open till the 5 April. People who have seen this is going to be very limited.
