  1. I think at best it would be very similar. Is there something about the stock Ray34CA you're not so happy with?
  2. Anyone tried these 3 Sigma Audio upright IRs:? Or any other upright IRs?
  3. I'm reading the manual again, and another question: I use two basses at gig, but only want to play one at a time, with the other one muted; i.e. set the HX Stomp up as an AB pedal: Physically connect upright bass to Input L, and bass guitar to Input R Upright preset has a 'Split > Y' block with BalanceA panned to L100, followed by a mixer block with B Level set to zero (followed by my upright effects). Bass guitar preset: same, except BalanceA panned to R100 (followed by my bass guitar effects). Will that work? Or will it do something weird like upright only comes out of the L output and bass guitar only comes out of R output?
  4. Not sure if it has a name, but I mute with the side or outside of my thumb, which always rests gently on the lower strings. The photo shows me about to play the G string. The whole hand moves down correspondingly to play the D, and down again to play A; but there is no more movement when I play E. Instead, the thumb just sort of lifts vertically up (perpendicular to the front of the bass) to get out of the way.
  5. Some favourites are Boss LS-2 (three inputs, buffered), Bright Onion (two inputs, passive), or a Radial BigShot or Bumper.
  6. From reading the manual, I believe you would: Press the 'View' button to get into edit mode; Rotate the 'Upper Knob' until the 'send' block is selected; Rotate Knob #1 to adjust the level. It's not as convenient as a single dedicated knob, but for me I think it would be ok (it's not something I'd do very often; but those times when I do, it's important that I can do it reasonably quickly). Can someone confirm if I've got it right?
  7. I'd look at the current Yamaha BB435 (passive) and 735A (active); previous passive Yamaha models including BB1025 BB1025X; used Maruszczyk Jake 5.
  8. Funny... I was about to post the same question! I.e. two outputs, but control the level going to one without affecting the level going to the other. I think 'Send' is unbalanced, so not great for sending to FOH. Instead, I wondered if you'd use 'Output' to go PA, and 'Send' to the FR800? I'm reading the 'Send/Return' part of the manual (page 28) - description of knob 1: "Adjusts the level sent to your external devices."
  9. Radial Bumper or Boss LS-2.
  10. Wired in-ear monitor?
  11. We offer a couple of options. Either vintage-style dresses, and vintage-style three-piece suits (tweed etc). Or, gold sparkly dresses, and burgundy dinner jackets with black trousers & black neck tie (think Motown vibe). We also sometimes gig in black tie. It's important if the client is paying thousands of pounds that you look like you cost that much.
  12. I think it's every time, not just the first 😬
  13. Asking £400 here: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bb1200-bass-guitar-made-in-1978-from-japan/1284329126 I would take a look myself if I was closer...
  14. There are some Zoom emulations of the BDDI: look at B1on (£39), MS-60B (£78), and B3n (£127).
  15. The model is BB404F (and I wonder if that's my old one - it had those same non-stock knobs)
  16. How do you run four HyDrives with one BH800?.
  17. The Bugera BN410TS is 2800W and only 76.7lbs for a ratio of 36.5:1
  18. I think someone bought some. See this thread:
  19. There are a few options with camera tripod mounts: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Durable-Metal-Tripod-Mount-Clamp-Clip-Holder-with-Ball-Head-for-Camera-Universal/192306374135 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Flexible-Gorilla-Tripod-DSLR-Camera-Camcorder-Phone-FREE-Phone-Adapter/232488003297 And then use in conjunction with a tripod mount phone holder: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Mobile-Phone-Clip-Bracket-Holder-Mount-for-Monopod-Tripod-Stand/201431825945
  20. Check out the Zoom B1on.
  21. Can you try out your existing Hartke head & 2x10 at the next gig, to see how it fares? The Headrush (or Alto TS312) might be more of a sideways movement, rather than an upgrade -- you don't want to end up with two "ok" rigs. Although with the Hartke, you'd have to resign yourself to making two trips to the car Alternatively - what is the Hartke rig, and does it have any resale value, to up your budget?
  22. This is not something I've tried, but if you high-pass your monitor quite high (150-200Hz?), would the smaller powered speakers like an RCF 310 cope better? In theory you should still hear any lower frequencies spilling back from FOH.
  23. This is going back about 10 years now, but back then the Surrey/Hampshire working men's clubs and Royal British Legions were paying around £300. Some are really strict with the timings and others are a bit more chill. I did some really great gigs and also others where the band is just there to fill in the time between the bingo and the meat raffle! Also don't inadvertently sit in one of the regular's favourite chairs, etc.
  24. I think this might be the problem then. When bass not in use, I sometimes leave my switch in the active position, for many days - but with no cable plugged in. I haven't experienced battery drain.
  25. Ah I see, thanks @Jack and @EBS_freak.
