Bass → effects pedals → BDDI. Then: BDDI XLR → FOH; BDDI 1/4" → GK → Bergs. Set up the BDDI with your preferred eq & tube drive for FOH. Use the GK's controls to tweak the on-stage sound without affecting FOH.

This. Pedal pre-amp to DI.

Is it a wolf tone? My bass developed one in the same place as you, but I found a wolf tone eliminator helped a lot. It's a small metal mass which screws onto the afterlength to counter the resonance.

I never felt comfortable in general stringing flats through the body, on any bass. The bend angle seems too great for how rigid the strings are.

Can you go in with the string straight - under the saddle. Then manoeuvre the string to be on top of the saddle once it's in.

I think there's only one gauge available - mine are 45-125.

I have Dunlop flats on my BB735A and didn't have this problem. I'm away right now without the bass, but I can have a closer look later in the week.

I think it depends exactly what you're looking to get from your LPF in the first place, and a cab sim isn't the same as a LPF - but it might serve a similar purpose , namely rolling off the highs. The new Zoom B1 Four does have a specifc LPF effect (called "High EQ") which I don't think was in the older units - although I haven't tried it myself. I'm not sure which cab sim is the best - I cycled through them and ended up with the Bassman 4x12.

Actually I'm a bit confused now... PM1 manual says "Signals should be sent from a stereo headphone amplifier to the PM1. Note that the PM1 XLR input is not meant for balanced line signals." But is our desk indeed sending a balanced line signal? Mackie manual: "These 14 male XLR connectors provide balanced line-level signals" In which case, what am I hearing... is one of my ears out-of-phase?

There are three Behringer in-ear products: P1, PM1, and P2. Yes the P1 is the larger one, but the one we have in our band is the PM1, which is only 80g. I don't know the weight of a P2 but the two AA batteries it needs will be about 20g already. Our mixer is a Mackie DL32R, which has 12 line-level XLR outputs - I wonder if technically that is wrong and i.e. we should be using headphone amps (like the P2). However the PM1 seem to work well and I don't have any volume issues - normally have the dial about half way up.

We use the PM1, which is passive so no batteries to worry about. What is the benefit of the newer P2 over the PM1?

It's a different scenario, as the band I'm in is a function band. But if it helps, they recently flew into Jordan on a Friday, for a gig on Sat, and flew back on Sunday. All expenses (flights, hotels, gear/instrument hire) were covered. The fee paid was £350/musician. FWIW I didn't fancy it and depped it out.

In terms of stage logistics, where do you put your head? Just on the floor?

For a long cable run, unbalanced could pick up noise where balanced would not. Not an issue if you're near the desk.

How about Spiro Solo, tuned down a step to EADG.

I see MicroBass II being sold new for £169 in many places currently... seems a good price.

Yes, it's a legacy website. Genz Benz was bought by Fender around 10 (?) years ago, continued for a few years, and then was shut down. Jeff Genzler's current operation is https://www.genzleramplification.com/.

Your wording would make a difference: "Hello seller, I demand a short video" I would find this off-putting. "Hello seller, Would you be able to record a short video?" I would happily do this if I can find the time.

What musical style is this? Have you done much transcribing? This helps to learn the idioms of your chosen musical style. If this is straightahead jazz, I'd transcribe horns not bass players.

I have Dunlop flats and really like them. They are £34.99 at http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Flat_wound_strings.html

Took it out tonight. The tuner is more visible now with its bright lights. Just about fits on a Pedaltrain Nano too.

I'm not 100% of your intention, but since you've posted in the "Amps and Cabs" forum - are going to play a bass guitar through them? I don't think it will sound very good.
