  1. Fortunately they are pretty reasonable. The most light handed drummer I have encountered. Problem is we are all high energy on stage (for 50+ old men) and hard to keep the drive from escalating. I have tried in ears in the past and don’t like the disconnect. >$50 fidelity ear plugs muffle WAY too much.
  2. Awesome! I am about as technically ignorant as they come. After reading I think I kinda understand how they work. They each have their own built in mic and work without my phone? Just use my phone to adjust settings?
  3. Interesting! I seen that when I searched but didn’t understand it was for earplugs, thought it was for in ear monitors.
  4. I’m 65 and started back performing live with a Blues/Rock band. My hearing is already pretty bad and want to keep what I have left. I tried some cheap ones that claimed high fidelity but they are muffled which is a big problem since my hearing is already muffled. Anyone use earplugs??
  5. Wasn’t aware the t&f worked as a HP filter. Never crossed my mind that “Mo Bass” might increase the bottom frequencies. Just thought it was named because of marketing for bass guitar. I always thought the bottom end becoming light and flabby (can’t think of a better word) was part of the sweet goey ( again hard to describe sounds) goodness of tubes.
  6. Started looking at Lounsberry pedals to go in between an Electro 3 and a Leslie 145. Wanting some growl at bedroom levels. And maybe with a Vent (when/if) I get one. Their new “Mo Bass” is supposed to combine the Tall and fat with the Organ grinder. Advertised for bass but website says it’s great for organ. Anyone tried it out yet?
  7. Well …. They use to…. I have a 70’s particle board Leslie 145 that someone had put on little amplifier type castor wheels. Worked for a while but now aren’t working worth a flip. Thinking of maybe 5” castors from Amazon bolted to plywood. Screw the plywood to the bottom of the Leslie. This would also get it up to about 122 height. Thoughts? Experiences? Am I nuts for wanting to gig now and then with real moving air when I’m 63 years old?
  8. I turned 62 last March. Retired June 30 without any real plans except to not have any plans or schedules. Been out of the music biz almost 10 years. Thought I would jump back in, but I guess not in any hurry. I actually quit practicing when I retired. I expect it will take a year or so to get all settled in.
  9. I have tried to list an item twice on reverb. Can"t seem to get it to work for some reason.
  10. Awhh... so true! I was stacking a pair of Peavey sp2"s. 1300 watt power amp and mixer, a 200 lb rig. I soon realized my hearing so going downhill fast. It was replaced with the really portable (at the time) JBL speaker.
  11. Well, I"m not a regular but.... it"s to connect instruments to a mixer. Mostly for long runs down a snake. Converts instrument level to balanced mic level. Usually not necessary for runs under 20 ft
  12. Anyone use to have one (or two)? I have been using one for a really long time. How does it compare with the new offerings? To me it"s sounds a bit rough and snarly, but has been a workhorse and has plenty of balls. Works great without a mixer. Heavy and awkward to carry. Would the new stuff (under $1000) really be an upgrade? I have seen the old threads and not looking for another powered speaker shootout. Just don"t know how the old JBL compares.
  13. Rock and Roller cart. Came close to buying one about 10 years ago. Another thing to load and unload, lol The memories of tearing down gear, loading, driving to the gig, dragging it all to the stage, helping carry the PA and lights, setting it all up, tearing it all down, loading it all up, driving home in the middle of the night, dragging it in, setting it back up. Maybe I should learn to play the harmonica!!
  14. I have gigged off and on for almost 50 years. Never had a keyboard case with wheels. Do those really work? A long keyboard would have the load angle leveraged against you with the handle on the very end. Do you push it or drag it around? Do those little wheels do anything on grass, or are you now just dragging the thing on the ground? You guys that have used the wheels, is it really worth it or just get in the way of picking up a 40 pound bag and walking off??
  15. Resurrecting this thread. Found a used Roland DS88. Cheaper and should be fine to knock off some rust. Again, I am an old fart wanting to get back into music and performing live dive bar gigs. It would be my first step into a workstation/arranger type of keyboard. Paired with an electro 3. Any cons or anyithing to consider about the Roland DS88?? Thanks
