I haven't seen him for a lot of years, so I probably can't call him a "mate" too much. I think it was a shock to most of us that he was on there. Shame he didn't get through, we'd have all been rooting for him! [/quote] Yeah, big shame he didn't get any turns but he seems to be getting a bit of interest regardless. He's still busy with his function band, The Beat Brothers and no doubt they will see a rise in bookings following this. I really enjoy playing with Matt - his guitar playing is as good as his vocals too.

My mate didn't do so well - his rendition of House of the Rising Sun didn't strike a chord with the judges!

How about running a thread like this every quarter? Or every 6 months? Seems a good fun thread.

Awesome cab. I think it's the best neo cab that EBS do. Enjoy.

[/quote] What a great video, he looks like a top chap.

When it comes to acrylic instruments, this has to be the best thread on the net... grab a cuppa. http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2011-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/263778-scatter-lees-2011-tdpri-build-challenge-thread.html

Never had any problems with Thomann - I've had more problems with the UK based companies than I have with Thomann (which is zero). What's this about Germans and efficiency?

745 certainly a step up from the 725. In fact, I think that RCF have killed off the 725 now and presumably pushing the 745. Bass response is good too - in fact, I reckon most DJs could go out with a pair of these and not bother with a sub. Hmm... maybe I should make a bass rig out of these...

[quote name='Alec' timestamp='1420467942' post='2649616'] For the 12" & 15" units, the 7 series blows the 3 series away hugely [/quote] You heard the 745? Quite remarkable for a plastic box!

I think the RCFs will see you ok. 10s aren't my favourite but given the fact you are looking for lightweight and portable and only using for vocals, I think it's a sensible compromise. To put your mind at rest, I've never thought as RCF as particularly harsh - I consider them fairly well rounded and surprisingly good in the bass response, considering that ART stuff is in plastic boxes.

Talking of Attenuators, I found the only ones I liked were these- http://www.tedweber.com/atten.htm

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1416917439' post='2614949'] Luckily enough I feel the same way about Jaco as some Basschatters feel about Barefaced cabs. [/quote] Has Jaco got a sh*t logo too?

Budget?

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1419873451' post='2643430'] Bose are portable but pricey but sound fantastic......... [/quote] But are crap for a full band situation.

Spotify is your friend. Esp if you have wifi and need to find requests.

You are only likely to be able to shave off a couple of kgs at most. Test your Mackies against some RCFs out of the 700 series... A couple of kg lighter than the Mackies but is be surprised if you didn't notice the difference.

To avoid going over the same ground again... Just read this thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205633-in-ear-monitors-help-needed/

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1419708880' post='2642142'] Depends how many mixes your desk has... and since most bands desk are pretty basic, then I am not sure what use you expect IEM to be. [/quote] *shakes head*
