2x10

Yes, I'm really happy with my RCF 732A at loud volume with a five-string bass. RCF's marketing says it goes down to 50Hz, but I add a high-pass filter at 60Hz anyway. And you can (or even should) cut the low frequencies even more if using your speaker as a monitor, as you'll be able to hear the bass from the subs just fine on stage even though you're behind them.

Happy to start a feedback thread for @nbpartnership. He was interested in a bass I was selling, we discussed a few things, and then went ahead with the sale. Prompt payment, great comms at every point, no problems or concerns whatsoever, and a nice, friendly person — highly recommended!

Our singers seem to prefer not to use in-ears, although they understand the overall benefits of a quieter stage. One has said to me his ideal setup is him with a floor monitor, everyone else on in-ears — you could try that? But at least have everyone download the mixer app, so they can do their own mixes (whether that's wedges or in-ears) and not have to rely on you doing it for them.

Good list. You have put Barefaced Super Midget under 1x10, but it's a 1x12. Their 1x10 model is the One10. Super Midget should replace Super Compact on your list, as the former is the lighter.

A Super Twin has a different backplate, with a "Super Twin" sticker on it. E.g. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/332586-barefaced-super-twin-gen-3/

I bought one of these with the original intention to use it very occasionally for just the trickiest of page turns (we have one very fast chart in Db, so I never have a free hand for iPad swiping) — anyway, I now use it literally ALL the time. Recommended!

I bought and used forScore for a bit, but I now prefer the free version of Piascore.

I realize that the Yamaha pickups are not Fender-sized — but is there definitely no way to fit the Dimarzio into a BB424?

Dunno what's going on with your manual, but those looks like they're for guitar version, GDI21.

I just opened a pack of Adagios and they look like this:

You're in the key of G, and this F chord is the bVII, functioning as the secondary subdominant, or the IV of the IV. One way to think of the F-C is as a IV-I in the temporary tonal centre of C.

Just to clarify: if it's the bass pictured in your other thread, https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/453501-nbd-squier-precision-70s-bass/ - that's not a stock bridge in the first photo. The second photo's headstock logo is the current series: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/precision-bass/classic-vibe-70s-precision-bass/0374520506.html

How about one of these: https://www.pulse-audio.co.uk/product/nl4-split/ or similar.

I wonder if https://truetone.com/cs6/ can do it. The 12V is labelled 200mA, but the text says: "Although we had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies, the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows [...] The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels." Perhaps if you email them, they can clarify?

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. I'm out of ideas about what's up with the mixer. A DI box will indeed lower the signal to mic level (i.e. you'll also need an XLR cable; plug into a mic XLR input on the mixer). I used Behringer DI400P and Radial ProDI; any old passive one will do. Other than the issue at hand, it's also a useful thing to keep in your gig bag in general.

You can check your levels are approximately correct on each device: Create a new, empty patch (i.e. no effects) on the Zoom. Is the volume when using the empty patch approximately the same as when using your existing patches? Similarly, is the volume approx the same either with or without the TC Electronic in the signal path? You don't need to be at the studio to do these; check with headphones or with your bass rig.

Yes, I mix on upright, and for a short while on bass guitar I had rounds on BE and flats on ADG. The round has more clarity on the B string than a flat. Sounded good, and they blended fine, but in the end I prefer flats tactilely.

So it does - thanks!

I have one of these current-series Classic Vibe 70s (I think they were announced in 2019) and it's great. I did some recording earlier in the year and used this bass over a Sandberg VM (since sold). I found the stock tuners were fine but I swapped to some Hipshots I already had lying around. I shielded the cavity as there was one venue where I got quite a bad buzz (have not been back there, so dunno if it has helped; no buzzing problem anywhere else). Stock pickups sound good to me, so leaving those alone. The neck is really nice - I love playing this bass. The 1 5/8" nut width is pretty standard, but the front-to-back depth is slimmer than a normal P bass. My other bass is a much more expensive Maruszczyk Jake: the Jake gets more play time as it's a 5-string, otherwise I'd play the CV all the time.

For flats: I had a P bass with La Bella 0760M "Original 1954", 052-110, all strings tuned down one step, which I thought worked well and sounded good. Pino had this setup on the D'Angelo album Voodoo.

Perhaps the G string is twisted (try taking it off and reinstalling it) or is faulty (replace it).
