Maybe the foal posts have been moved? bring on the farming puns I say!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1455828581' post='2982855'] If the monitors are 'proper' pro standard, you can rely on those. Also, don't let the band's volume spiral out of control just because it's a big venue. Keep it controlled. [/quote] You know, there is one man you can call...

[quote name='IanA' timestamp='1455813183' post='2982679'] Do you play Wembley often? [/quote] Only as a warm up gig.

If you are in theatres, you'd hope that there's a good console available. In which case, go in-ears.

I have customs yes. 1964s are great - I have experience of those also. Although get in quick for 1964s as they are rebranding and pushing the Adel stuff so the price is gonna rise! 64s really are great value for money at the moment The great thing about 64 and JHA is that the piece are actually designed by guys with great ears - they are both monitoring engineers. There's a big thread on IEM in accessories and misc forum. Worth a read.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1455744867' post='2982123'] This leads on to another hobby horse of mine. if the Sound tech takes out the sub 30-35Hz crap that many bass amps put out that will be one of the reasons the Floor monitor sounds better. It is an HPF and they should be fitted to all bass amps. However most will be less than ideal for bass. As for IEMs, it makes sense for vocals but not for bass. Remember that your back line is a part of your instrument, like the body on an acoustic guitar. [/quote] A lot of bass amps do have hpfs... As do a lot of onboard preamps in basses. Some don't. They are the problematic ones. The reason a lot of monitors don't sound great for bass is that they aren't great monitors. Great monitors are great for bass... It's just that great monitors aren't commonplace. It's the first saving to be had in a PA setup. IEMs not good for bass? Me and my JHA Roxannes would argue with you over that til the cows come home. Those IEMs develop more bass than any other setup I've known and enable me to hear everything exactly how I want. There's no wedge that can do that for me. I'd be interested to learn more why you think IEMs don't make sense for bass.

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1455720887' post='2981805'] Someone called?! [/quote] So where's yours?

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455735809' post='2981982'] What happens if the Tickled Trout call you for a gig and you have hired out the DB or D and B speakers to another band that night? [/quote] The same as this...

Only a full touring crew for a touring spec rig!

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455723838' post='2981846'] We play mustang Sally in C, if the venue isn't happy about that they can get another band to play instead. [/quote] 440 or 432 tuning?

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1455717830' post='2981769'] Back on topic, though, ears are rather sensitive to frequency as well as volume, so it might be worth playing in a different quay. [/quote] But are we going to phone up venues to see if the monitors are happy if we change keys on them?

No, I've baited for compliments.

Wow. The quality of these puns has sunk real pedalo.

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1455649068' post='2981157'] Does anyone know if there is a pedal that can give you your original bass tone at the same time give you a synth/keyboard pad tone ? [/quote] looper pedal to run your bass in parallel -> something like this. http://www.brightonion.co.uk/blender-looper/

I don't like to pier in my pants after being on the beach. Sandy, sandy...

Maybe she'll bring Jay-Sea with her too.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1455532709' post='2979841'] I wonder what the monitoring is like here? [url="http://www.debees.com/"]http://www.debees.com/[/url] [/quote] Naturally, you should phone them up.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1455534096' post='2979863'] we're really plumbing new depths now. [/quote] Agreed. A completely different league.

Hmm, perhaps JT now likes to keep stories about his gigs and life guarded.

I don't want to appear like I'm kayaking on but I would like to know about these d&bs...

It would appear that you're knot wrong.

Yacht are you talking about? I just want an answer about these dbs.

He's certainly not dropping anchor round these parts of late...

Don't pomfret, I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Sting one has had the soul ripped out of it too.
