How to monitor myself when playing without PA support?
Monckyman replied to BassYerbouti's topic in General Discussion
Yep the se215s are popular and fairly cheap. Remember the mic stand mounted wedge won't deal with your drummers sizzle! -
How to monitor myself when playing without PA support?
Monckyman replied to BassYerbouti's topic in General Discussion
As above, in an ideal world thats how to do it. But most of the gigs we do aren't in an ideal world with sympathetic band members and a decent stage. My lot use an E kit,and while it isn't a Ludwig, I just couldn't bear the thought of having to stand half a metre from real cymbals being thraped by an over keen drummer. Even a drummer who is doing his best to cool it will generate a massive amount of top end noise and that's unacceptable to me and my ears. So, in ears offer a very versatile and good quality way of gigging a lot while retaining your hearing. There's a reason all the top touring bands use them. -

Hiya, yes you could take a mix (best option as you can get a little kit and guit and vox etc in there as well),from an aux out on the desk or if its just your bass you want, you could take a direct out from your amp/d.i or with a modified cable, use the insert point if your desk has one, loads of options. The wired option is the cheapest, maybe a way to see if you get on with in ears but there are some cheap radio units about now so.. There are a few more cheaper wireless options about nowadays, Thommann do a unit, as does LD, which are similar in spec and price, for about £150 This one>http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_iem_75.htm#bewertung is as cheap as it gets and does 3 frequencies do you could use three sets in a band. This one >http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_iem_100_863_mhz.htm can be mono or stereo and has more frequencies etc. Its worth a punt on the first set I linked as Thommann have a 30 day no quibble money back deal so you get a month to try them out, if you no like, you no buy. Even selling them on should get you £50 back so no great risk. The actual headphones are likely to be of poor quality so don't judge the set on them, try to borrow some better quality phones to test it out. The cheaper sennheiser range can get you a pretty good sound if you get a good seal, especially if you upgrade to better foam tips.

Bypassing your amps preamp, does it defeat the object?
Monckyman replied to a topic in General Discussion
Pretty useful board,given the stereo d.i and the pre amp. Still holding its own despite its age. -
I have a Peavey IPR1600 and it's bloody light. Sound pretty good too. I used to use it with an Ampeg pre.

You can of course monitor your own amp through in ears. Cheapest way is a small 2 to 4 chan micro desk,stick it on top of your rig,feed an input on that from your d.i out, headphone extension to your in ears. If you have a spare aux out on your main desk, you can send the mix that was going to your wedge to the other chan on the mini desk,and mix between them till you're happy. -

Thank you gentlemen, I believe the bowing in question has been satisfactorily achieved.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1401279341' post='2461933'] Loud amp, comfy bass, no one cares in the audience. [/quote] You will pass many years and spend a lot of cash before you finally accept the truth in this statement.

Google cal here, works perfectly and we have reminders set a month in advance for gigs and rent etc. We used to have it rigged so an inquiry on the website flagged up on the calendar. Useful All hols, gigs, members busy,things of interest, go in the calendar, and all can see it on any smart phone. Our last singer managed to duplicate his calendar and insisted he had posted on ours, but couldn't understand where the posts were.. be careful with calendars and singers..

Have been building my patches on jamup,not disappointed at all,sounds great. Just needs proper foot pedal control and charging. Twin amping using a daw to route left and right is a nice idea.

Been thinking about using a stereo balanced cable to carry mono bass and stereo IEM. Would be neater if you were taking the feed from a pedalboard position but not essential. Just add a sturdy mini jack socket about 15 centimetres from both ends of the cable tap into that. Cheap and fairly mobile.

[quote name='cclowend' timestamp='1400831419' post='2457281'] I blame my drummer. No matter how much bass I have on, he always insists on adding more. Sometimes its like the room in bending due to the amount of low frequency........I love it. [/quote] You are right to blame your drummer. Statistics show it is invariably their fault. Change of rehearsal room to one with real walls?

Does the 115 have an external speaker socket or can you unplug the internal and connect to another cab? Easy way to test your, amp (which is almost certainly fine) is to run it into another same spec speaker. You probably have overheated your driver, and a replacement shouldn't be too expensive. Would be a good idea to un-Mastadon your amp first and have a good listen,you may have just dialled in a tone the amp can't do very well and gone too loud to compensate.
