Thanks mate, really appreciate that. I recorded this in logic and then filmed me playing along

Hi All, I don’t know if this has been covered before but I’m starting to try and publish play through and covers, mainly to get me playing more and to improve my technique and recording skills. I find them useful to watch back and look at how I can get better. I wanted to ask about good practice for doing videos, so best software, techniques (do you record and play at the same time) or record first in a DAW and the film yourself playing after. Iv recently published my first one (link below), so would love to hear about ways to improve the videos. Thanks

Thanks. I ended up going for the Shure in the end as I wanted the tuner bass but agree, I would have definitely tried it to see if the line 6 how it worked and confirm for myself

Just looking at buying my first wireless system and the Shure Glxd16 seems to be the best option and worth the price. Does anyone has had any experience with the new NUX B8 system. It seems to have some good features at a lower price than the shure, like the tuner receiver. https://www.nuxaudio.com/b8.html

I found this site saying that a few from boss and line 6 had issues with active pickups. https://www.guitarworld.com/features/best-guitar-wireless-systems#section-best-for-pedalboards

Thanks, I’ll take a look at this

Hi All, im looking at a wireless system to use live and practise going forward and wondered what you all recommend. The Shure GLXD16 seems to be the gold standard and a great package but expensive. The line 6 systems seem good for the price but Iv been told to steer clear of them if you have an active bass. Iv seen this new system by NUX that has a tuner and charging station as part of the package which seems cool but very few reviews yet. https://www.nuxaudio.com/b8.html If anyone has any recommendations or advice please let me know Thanks Rick

Answered below but let me know if you have any questions. Happy to try recording ring a video if you want

In a nutshell yes, you can drop your current tuning down up to an octave. For instance I use it to play some stuff in drop F# but the bass is tuned to drop A. So I drop it 3 semi tones. I would say the quality of the sound decreases the lower you go and there are slight tonal changes but nothing major. If I was recording or playing regularly in a lower tuning I’d have a bass set up in that tuning. For practise and on the fly tuning it’s great though. I bought it to play at home to covers in low tunings, without the hassle of changing the bass itself. It’s stayed on the board mainly because additional octave function sounds great, tracks really well so I replaced my Aguilar octamiser with it. Really recommend giving it a go.

I got mine through guitar guitar just after Christmas. Might be worth checking if they have any. Highly worth it!

Got my mini board set up now. I’m so impressed with the Digitech drop pedal, a great down tuner and surprisingly great octave pedal too!

Awesome l! What tunings have you been using it for?

Hi, Iv been wanting to play a few more covers recently with low drop tunings for bands such as Spiritbox, Architects etc (the lowest being F#), but wanting to avoid the hassle of changing my bass tunings every time. Would anyone be able to advise on drop tuning pedals that would be the best to use for a 5 string and lower tunings? Thanks in advance.

I think after distortion my favourite pedals are reverb, to give a little extra on lead lines and intros
