I should have quoted the post, sorry all.

Quite, my first thought was a normal mixer but it doesn't really work in the requirement for one rack unit. Or if it does then it doesn't leave much room for your fingers at least.

You could use something like a Rolls PM351 or PM50 if you want wired. Rolls is nearly always the answer for this kind of audio routing thing. Otherwise I think you're looking at a mixer (either a normal one or a little line mixer like the Rolls MX54) which then runs into any normal wireless IEM system.

I think it depends how much you want to sit 'in' the mix vs being distinct. IME the pre-special Stingrays have a definite lack of subtlety, especially in what I hear as a very artificial top end. When people say "the active bass sound" I think of Rays whereas something like a Sadowsky sounds like a passive bass with more eq control.

That's a much harder question to answer I'm afraid, and it's much more dependent on other gear and members of the band as well. Are you in control of this mix? If not, who is? Do you have a spare aux mix or two on the mixer? Every mixer? How will the rest of the band hear your bass? To get you started I have a band member who uses and likes the Xvive system (which is a good budget option), I use a Sennheiser G4, something more mid-range in price.

Beat me to it.

"Tone is in the fingers" is great until you try adjusting your fingers to get the sound of an overdriven tube amp, a DOD meatbox or a reverse delay.

Then your setup sounds ideal. My backup board is kind of similar and works great.

Probably. Sorry the reason most people are either being vague or just recommending what they use is that we don't really have the information we need to properly answer your question. What's the situation? Band? Type of music? Volume requirements? Will this be going in to a pa (yours or supplied?) or backline? Do you also need some way of hearing yourself? Etc etc etc. Really the only thing you actually need is a DI box or something with an XLR output, and even that isn't actually necessary. Nothing to stop you just taking a normal guitar cable and plugging the bass straight into the mixer.

It really depends on what you need to do, specifically, do you just need to get yourself into the pa system? If so then that's comparatively easy. Or are you also responsible for hearing (monitoring) yourself?

If you care enough to have a nice suit then you should care enough to wear a belt. If it has belt loops there should be a belt in them. Debretts says so.

I quite like some of the YouTube videos so I signed up for the year. £200 for about an hour. Shame really, I need the lessons.

I thought these were all sold, or was that the carbon fibre ones? How's the neck dive if its so light? ...asking for a friend...

Normally such a boomer thing to see online but I think this thread has been thankfully free of wife jokes.
