[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1457639296' post='3000567'] I'll put the kettle on.... [/quote] This may be more appropriate.

Agreed - it's a damn big investment! Would defo like to try these LDs. We should have an IEM geek meet!

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1457626326' post='3000365'] Erm, no, a request for any experience, tips. I'm old with knackered eyesight and arthritic fingers hence the question. [/quote] Ah, sorry. I guess you aren't up to speed on the Barefaced/handle debacle.

This is a joke... right?

Does anybody know what speaker is actually in the Aguilar cab?

It's almost as if the thread is... scripted. EDIT: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280816-barefaced-handle-anybody-replaced/ Aw c'mon, you're just trolling now.

Well, can't argue with them for being honest! To be fair, this is what I have found so far. The quality of the compounder and the quality of the RF transmission is absolute key. As I have stated before, I'd love to try the LD systems to give an idea of what the quality of those are like in comparison to my benchmark of the PSM900 and EW300. The other thing is, it depends what you are used to. If you have never used anything else, then pretty much any in ears system is likely to be a revelation. Similarly, I guess it depends what your expectation from an inears system is. For example, if I hear of somebody saying the PSM200 is great, then I immediately question what that user is staying. Having tried that system extensively, I can say, it's pants and I would not be happy using it. Crappy RF, sound quality is really harsh in the top end and the bottom end is ugh. The compounder is not good. If you are hellbent on inears, my advice - and I think this has been echoed in the thread throughout, is just buy right from the word go. It will save you money in the long run. Save up for the Sennheiser EW300s G3 and you are away. I may change that statement to include the LD system when I eventually get around to hearing it but obviously at this stage, I can't comment.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1457612580' post='3000085'] £743 for a 1x12. No doubt they're virtually a work of art but that's an insane price. [/quote] Agreed. That would buy a pretty incredible PA speaker.

Oh God. He said the handle word.

[quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1457369262' post='2997847'] How about this? [/quote] Moving into ballpark... but no.

Hmm. Looks like all my basses have met the criteria already...

Been busy with StingrayPete (formerly of this Parish) rejigging the inears rig... that patch bay was a bit of a labour of love - much soldering and even attaching the nyloc nut and bolts (to hold the XLRs in place took an age. So, power distribution in place, lots of BNC cables, lots and lots of XLRs, lots and lots of soldering, cable stripping, crimping, zip ties, powercon in place and a late night later... Just waiting upon delivery of the final transmitter and this particular rig will be done and dusted! Got to love a project.

Aw man, sorry to hear that. I've not got experience of these units to state what the normal state of play with them is. I would like to get hold of a load of lower cost systems to be able to do a comparison of their performance to see if you really do have to spend, spend, spend to get a good radio solution. I know the LD system gets praise but I've never actually used one to determine where they sit with regards to the competition. I know tonyf and his band use them and they seem pretty happy with the results. Maybe if you can stretch to those, that may be the way to go, especially if you must go radio. I've got a friend who has the g4m for music one but has since replaced it with an EW300 G3 so I don't know if that tells us what we need to know but shall try and get hold of the g4m one to compare against my stash of radio stuff. Are you using the correct jack ends? You need a stereo jack one end and mono jack the other end - not a common combination - if not, that is probably causing your issues.

Basement Jaxx at the NEC. I was standing right at the back and I could still feel the skin of my scalp moving over my skull. Painful. Thankfully I had earplugs but it's really stupid when it's that loud.

Just found out that I can't go... but I will be most disappointed if every BC member doesn't post a picture of themselves with Dave Swift to Facebook.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1457537018' post='2999489'] Enjoying this thread immensely! Being from the South Wales Valleys, for us it's a case of 'any phonics butt?', to which I always reply, 'next weeks band mate'. My covers band do modern pop, we have a (relatively) young female singer, and do Rita Ora, Meghan Trainor, Ellie Goulding etc...I remain amazed at the fact that some people are still surprised when I tell them 'No, we don't do any Oasis' after they've listened to the sort of set we have for the last hour or so. IMHO, in general your 'average' pub punter bases their judgment on how good your band is by the content of your setlist, rather than how well you play the songs. I've had this discussion with various people who call a band sh*t because they don't like the songs (which may actually be being played very well indeed). Usually Rock/metal fans (of which I am one) who are seeing a Pop Band. YMMV! [/quote] Ha definitely! A set list can make or break a band.

Town Called Malice. Ah yes.

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1457525062' post='2999306'] Amazed that no one has mentioned Sex on Sodding Fire yet.... [/quote] Oh jeez, an obvious exclusion!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1457532518' post='2999432'] To save you the trouble of trying one, you can simulate the experience by borrowing your drummers sticks and hitting them together... [/quote] I find a broom handle is close approximation to a Rickenbacker. Although that probably plays better.
