Overkill? Huh? Playing a Ritter bass down the Dog and Duck is overkill - but people still do it. No harm in playing through gear that you love.

Without trying to be too blunt, if you are really into your IEMs, save yourself the journey (and money) and pitch in at the level you can afford. A 1964 Quad for example, will blow away your TF10s in terms of sound quality and comfort. You cannot beat a custom fit either. It'll bring the bass levels up and it will feel so comfortable. No worries of them falling out or anything. Do it. I promise you won't look back.

PS, you probably want to stick with black cables as opposed to clear cables as on clear cable, they tend to turn green as the copper reacts with sweat.

Am I right in thinking that the TF10s use the stand IEM connector? Like this - If so, speak to Paul here - [url="http://www.custom-inearmonitors.co.uk/"]http://www.custom-inearmonitors.co.uk/[/url] He stocks a range of "vendor" cables as opposed to custom aftermarket cables, at a more suitable price - and will be able to advise on flexibility. I know that cables is an interesting thing to focus on and their flexibility and weight is a crucial factor to comfort. For example, I prefer the heavyweight cable of the ACS ambient pack cable over the standard ACS cable because with it being thicker and heavier, it sits on top of your ears better and doesn't need a cable guide.

What sort of budget? Is this just to replace your stock cable, like with like, or are you looking for something better?

I wonder what the score is with these Sony units anyway? Are they being phased out or something? Seems odd that they are not really readily available any more and Thomann are bashing them out at bargain prices... Sony were really pushing them at NAMM also, so it all seems a bit odd.

Nice work, you'll love it. With the Thomann's discount price, there is nothing that comes close... and when you see the absolutely fantastic constuction of the all metal transmitter, you'll be well chuffed. The only thing which may be worth mentioning at this stage, you get a euro plug adapter if you buy from Thomann... so you may want to invest in a 9v centre negative adapter if you haven't got one already, or take a feed off your pedal board power (if you use one), or use a euro converter plug.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1393329471' post='2378712'] Yeah, you'd need a DI box of some sort to turn your bass to line level first. I thought you said you had one, sorry. Edit: not a DI box, a preamp of some sorts. Or something. [/quote] A DI would do it

What was in it? I'm really lusting after a Schack circuit...

Don't get me wrong, the Shure is fantastic and has loads of features... most of which the average user won't use. It's integration with wireless workbench is fantastic and of course on the larger unit, the Dante feature is ridiculously good. When it gets down to it though, for a simple transmission of audio, the quality is indistinguishable. The only real world experience of where the Shure whooped the Sony was when I was Battersea Evolution. The Shure unit got over 100m from the stage and was still going whilst the Sony managed maybe 40 or 50 at a push. As you can see, err... really useful for those times you have to get that far away from the stage (eg never!) Thanks for the comments on the showreel, glad you like it. It was a blast to make. Currently editing the next video, which is a monster but nothing like the scale of the campervan video!

Enjoy the Sony, I am sure it will work perfectly for you without the slightest glitch. I've been very impressed with it... and I'm uber critical on the performance of my wireless systems. I run a ULX-D also - and to be honest, for what you want it for, they are neck and neck.

So you not tempted by the orange ciems I sent you?!

Stick with me tonyf. I'll spend all your money yet.

[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1394152306' post='2388622'] I've just placed an order with Thomann for the Sony DWZ as they have them back on sale for £185....that about £200 off!!!!

Presumably you don't want to touch the desk at any point... so... Easiest way is probably with an A/B XLR box - and route your mic to 2 channels, one with reverb, one without. It's quite useful as you can set the volume differently and EQ the voice differently for singing vs speaking too. Of course, you would need two wire runs for each vocalist if you wanted to all speak between numbers - and this may eat up your channels pretty quick. Or... you could set up an alternative scene that is identical to your "playing" scene but without the reverb. You could switch between scenes via MIDI. The MIDI implementation on X32 doesn't seem that clever at the moment. It may improve with firmware updates. I'm sure you could get some pretty small like the MIDI mouse to do it. In short, not going to be cheapest for just switching reverb on or off. - I don't think these things are not necessarily designed to be unmanned. Umm, that's me out of ideas.

Who is currently making Fender's strings?

Sei and ACG would get my vote depending upon your taste... but... Psst... [url="http://www.pavelmi.com/"]http://www.pavelmi.com/[/url]

I just can't be a55ed with shows anymore. Looks like I didn't miss much... and I don't feel the need to blitz people on facebook with me with various name players, which seems to be this year's trend. Yup, I'm a grumpy b4stard this year.

That's great news. The X32 is a great piece of kit and if you are getting it at the right price, even better. I think it'll bring a big smile to your face once you start assigning some effects to your in ears - and I think you'll love the ability to fine tune your mix with eq etc.
