Hi, Just weighed it and it's a little under 4kg (3.95?). It using domestic scales but I'd say that's about right. It's a great bass for the £, lots of positive comment on the sound and looks ...... -
Nice little Behringer in-Line Mixer with power supply. Bought for a project but only used a couple of times. Price includes UK Postage. -
Brilliant idea! The Timpanies and the high frequencies would be a real test ........... Might need a different band but ..... what an entrance!!

Anyone got a suggestion for a good track for soundcheckin' for a powerful female vocal , powerful drummer, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar..... Usually small venues 50 - 200 people. T 🤞🤞

This is a surprisingly good bass. The 24 frets mean a smaller body due to the increased size of the cutaways and it plays ......REALLY well. It's my first Jazz style bass, bought as a back up when my Sandberg was being "cared for". And it's a really striking, audience pleasing, vibrant Green ....... called Mild Green ......... which, I'd say, doesn't do it justice, but makes it a sod to photograph! I've persevered, but have a look on Andertons Website for a true representation of colour. Great Roasted Maple Neck, with Rosewood Fingerboard, and rolled edges. Lovely to play looks great(lovely grain). Body Alder. https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-marcus-miller-v5-24-fret-4-string-bass-guitar-mild-green/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20740064305&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUptMZBYIin5Gh6nybv-4dYoC&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgpzIBhCOARIsABZm7vEO6Vt31wQXb--yItYmIEPYDqCTbNX0GKftEHOsufqrerjwnKUyGY0aAv-9EALw_wcB It's been hanging on the wall for about a year now doing nothing. Used for a handful of gigs and in very good condition other than some small marks on the top of the headstock (clumsy me!) and an odd dark colouration in the headstock grain ..... purely cosmetic. I have too many basses so this has to go. We can discuss delivery - I have the original box and would be happy to travel up to 100 miles to deliver/meet-up.

😂😂😂 In my experience ..... the saved settings clearly ferment on storage ......... Or someone buys some new gear (Guitar/Amp/Cab/Pedal) or just decides to increase volume. Sometimes the Drummer clearly has AT LEAST 3 Weetabix othertimes ....... maybe not. So, I was really disappointed to find that everything changes! But I will get some high quality music files and try then ....... not sure Spotify tracks work that well via my phone!! Good Call though!

Looks like you're sorted 🤞 Which is good as I've never had to source a new one for mine. Good Luck..

As I've only had a digital mixer for a relatively short time, EQing "the Room" hasn't been an option without the complexity of additional Graphic equalisers (and for pub gigs they're just impractical). Until now I've been trying to get the channel EQ's and Monitor EQ's sorted and have only had a basic EQ on the "Mains" to deal with the two things that are always an issue (harsh peak at 1.8kHz and HPF low end). Now I need to move forward and concentrate on the "room" ....... which should irritate the band less and be relatively simple (🤣).
-
You may say that, I couldn't possibly comment 🫢🤣🤣
-
Excellent - thanks all! I'll up my "Mains" EQing from now on! Cheers!

Sadly a fair bit of "noise" comes from loud drums and backline. But it's a journey ...... Bass now quieter on stage, as is 2nd guitar, as these are " augmented" via the PA. We now use triggers on the drums so there are fewer mics on stage which helps a little too. But, there are things you can affect and things you can't ..... Reports from fellow musicians suggest we sound great, so perhaps I'm stressing unnecessarily 🤣

Before I bought the CQ18T, I borrowed a pair of Peavey Graphic Equalisers, for a big gig, in a notoriously difficult venue. Worked a treat, as I could tweak the settings whilst the first band were on. By the time we were on everything sounded good. But far too much hassle for routine gigs where I'm playing and trying to do the sound. With the CQ18T, it's easier to do, but as few people seem to do it I thought there might be a good reason not too . I'll percevere!!

Been tinkering with this ...... Have a fairly good mix sorted out where the Kick and Bass complement each other, the Vocals aren't too harsh, and guitars pretty much work with the rest. And then we play another busy pub, with its unique boomy resonance or shrill upper frequency peaks. So why not use the "Baseline" mix and EQ the Main PA speakers to take account of the room's "specialness"? Particularly important where time is tight and a sound check is a one song opportunity....... Using GEQ rather than PEQ on the mains, and adjusting sub volume as necessary. Is this Heresay or potentially a good idea?

Baku?

Update, ..... Used theo Monaco at several gigs and rehearsals now. It's definitely the best cab I've owned. I'm an old git though and have a pretty rounded sound. Did a double header recently. I used my PA for both bands, and due to time constraints, the bass player for the first band used my rig ( Trace Elliot 1200 plus Monaco) . Uses a pic, unlike me, and plays more " modern" rock than my band. Usually uses a 500W Mark Bass Head plus a new 4 x 10 MarkBass cab. He sounded Fantastic! Best I've heard him. PHENOMINAL sound and plenty loud enough with the tiniest amount of PA support. I've done their sound before and this was the best ever! He contacted a friend of mine the next day to ask " What was that cab, where can I get one , and how much are they!" Put me to shame.... But certainly showed what this cab can do ....... So, short summary. Bloody Great!
