Say You Will Be There will always be the pinnacle of Spice Girls pop. Well, for me at least.

Don't do it. You'll miss the headroom of the multi-driver ZS10. Headroom is king.

Shure SLX-D14 Downsides - not <£400, more like 600 quid... but hear me out. Upside - Digital (no compander that is associated with analogue systems) Low latency Not on 2.4Ghz or 5 Ghz frequencies... a lot, lot, lot, lot likely to be interrupted by wifi, phones etc. <- This is the killer point Discrete tuneable frequencies - more likely to play nicely with all the other wireless you may be using. <- This is another biggie Changeable batteries - so not return to manufacturer when the inbuilt battery goes south Can be used with lav mic if you ever need to... If not this, and the 2.4 ghz digital offerings are giving you headaches, go with @mike257's suggestion of the Sennheiser. OK, it's analogue - so it's latency is the lowest - but it has got a compander... but it's about as transparent a compander as you can get! Of course, this is urging on the side of going more "pro" - a lot of people have no problem with the Line 6 stuff, Boss, etc... Your mileage may vary!

@dave_bass5 - I need to catch up with your email, life has got all a bit nuts of late. Will fill you in. Anyway... Behind keys, if you aren't moving anywhere, and you don't care about the visual aspect of it... and you have problem with fit, then maybe get something like a pair of closed back DT770 32 ohm. Will give you lots of low end response and nice amounts of isolation given the closed back build. Great for home use and travelling etc too - no sound leakage so you don't cheese off other people that may be in the same room as you. If you are looking at a Shure 215 setup with P2, then the Beyers with a P2 will offer so so so so much more. But again, it depends if you are OK with the look on stage. Personally, I think it's quite cool - and they certainly will give you more sound wise until you start dropping some serious wedge on IEMs.

Next time try dropping it on their heads.

lil wayne. </thread> although personally, because this thread mostly seems to be about dropping in random players... I’m throwing Brent Mason into the mix.

Do Squiers have the same preamp, pickups and pickup placement as Bongos?

Umm. Ash. or maple. Or tulipwood.

There’s also a lot out there that sound like ash Fenders.

Oh now we are talking. Pictures?

What wood would be best for thread coffins?

Has this landed yet?

I've now got an urge for chip shop chips... with wooden fork. Hmm, I wonder if there's anywhere local that does battered chips...

Its those picture frames on the wall.

bof

Corrected.

I seem to have stumbled onto bass cat.

ooh. flex.

Well... that, or just buy one that has already been made and you can see if you like the sound (and everything else about it)!

It's like all those ridiculous multi-laminate boutique basses... "The sound of glue"

and that marks the point where the thread has just gone beyond ridiculous.

No - it's because you haven't grasped the fact no piece of wood is the same as the next. So whilst there are subtle differences in the tones that demonstrated in that video, if you built those same basses again, using the same type of woods, they could still sound different again to the ones in the video - because wood, even of the same species, aren't identical. So in short, this video doesn't teach us anything - the sample size would have to be much larger to be able to start drawing any observations of scientific significance. Besides, even the electronics aren't consistent - there are tolerances in the electronic components - and the pickups are likely to be scatter wound... which obviously means they aren't going to be same, even if manufactured to the same spec.

Yeah, I'm feeling that.

Well that's a bit of a whataboutism. An auditorium is dealing with sound waves. The output from an electric bass is electrical.

In reality, you could string up any old table top with a bridge, a set of tuners, some frets, a couple of single coils (spaced like a jazz) - and it would sound within shooting distance of any other jazz bass. Would be a bit of a **** to play though.
