Clearly, 200W is enough, BUT this is 100W into 8R. In my experience, that is just about enough to accompany a couple of acoustic guitars. I have used my 100W 8R combo (170W into 4R) with a 12" extension cab in a rehearsal, but it was still not up to that task in a relatively modest 5 piece (Drums, Bass two electric guitars). The drummer is not quiet but does know dynamics, the guitarist use Fender and Roland Combos. Of course with a good PA support it can be done but it islimiting.

Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
When your audience starts singing the next song, before you have announced or started playing it, you need to change your set list. In saying that, you have to be aware that the singer cannot play up the dusty end or drop tune, so some accommodation is needed in a band. In the end, the singer has to have a veto on songs, but that should not mean that they have a veto on change. The set list has to evolve, or the band will stagnate. -
Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
I should have added that a band member that refuses to rehearse, or practice the songs at home, probably should be asked to leave. -
A lot too high IMHO, but my friend @Passinwindmay disagree.

Creating a monster (lead singer problem)
Chienmortbb replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
In my last band, we had a rule that anyone could veto a new song. It helped that we got on very well, but that may not work for every band. -
I saw them I. The early Ambrose Slade days and they were superb. Who knows why Noddy retired so early but his voice was Slade.

With Elton it has not worked, I wince when I hear him now.

is this a Japanesse made model? if so, look at the Gotoh range. https://g-gotoh.com/productList/bass-machine-heads/?lang=en

Just had a look at those 64 Audio IEMS, they are a bit on the heavy side, and I am not talking weight.

Has a Silver faced lining?

That two pickups would go open circuit is highly unlikely.

How can I make pickups like the ones I have?

Yes, resistance is useless as an indicator as it does not take into account the diameter of the wire. -

I agree, the caps and rectifier diodes are most likely to be causing the problem. A transformer is unlikely to bang on its own.

Is this not a reason why Les Paul necks are so weak? The angle of the headstock means that there is no real grain strength there. Yes, most of the "sound" comes from the other parts of the bass.

My Peavey Milestone 4 is plywood with a maple mech and rosewood fingerboard. I have often gigged it when my main bass needs adjusting and there is no time before a gig. No one, especially me has complained about the sound. IMHO, the contribution of the body to the sound is minimal. Most important is electronics (pups and controls plus preamp, if fitted). Then it’s the strings, the. The neck, then the body. The bridge has very little impact, the machine heads nothing except if they don’t stay in tune.

To be honest compared to the RCF M18, Behringer X series and Soundcraft Ui series, that is not very compact,

Wow, that is quite a list and all important, I can only add type of construction of the connectors and the difference between unbalanced and balanced connections. The question is how much detail? I suppose if I touch on everything briefly, people can ask for more information if they need it.

I have decided to post this here, as I was diverting the small mixer thread. I was having a discussion with @EBS_freakabout wireless systems. So we agreed that you need to spend a bit on a good system. I thought I saw a post that someone recommended an Xvive system. Now the one I have found is the U4 and that has a delay (alright, latency if you must) of 5mS. Unless there is another system, that seems excessive.

Stereo FoH is a not a good idea. Stereo only works if you are in the sweet spot, and few will be. Of course, headphones are different as you are in the sweet spot(ish). So it mke sense to have a mono mix for FoH and stereo monitor mix. Of course, this does assume you have a dedicated sound tech/mixist.

It is a b when you get your screw pot out and keep pulling out BA and UNC.

As many of you know I have been making cables for some on BC since OBBM retired. Now like all things simple, the leads that connect us are more complex than meets the ear. I am happy to discuss on a 121 basis with anyone but wondered if an in-depth thread on cables and connectors would be useful. To me many things are second nature but I have had cases where players that spend £thousands on their bass/amp/cab combo will use a cheap and nasty cable. Of course it will be my opinion, but I have acquired a great deal of experience Audio connectors and cables over the years. I could tell you why I won’t use some brands and where I think Snake Oil is being peddled. However if dad ole me is the only one interested I will just go and cuddle some Neutriks.

Of course, a digital wireless IEM would just make matters worse. Given the subjectively poor sound we hear on stage (assuming the stage is NOT silent), how good/expensive does an IEM channel need to be worthwhile? I used one of those low cost Ch70* systems once and the sound quality was more than adequate, with a decent set of "buds". What let it down was that build quality AND the fact that it was on an overcrowded frequency band. I once borrowed a Shure Ch70* mic system for use on an exhibition stand, thanks to the kind people at Shure. It was unusable as that band was swamped n the exhibition hall. Hence, I never use anything in that band now. *Ch70 or Channel 70 is the licence free UHF band covering the frequencies 863-863 MHz.

I wonder whether the finger to string contact when we are playing is somehow compensated by our brains in some way? I can understand a big delay being a problem for a singer, especially from monitors. However, with 10mS delay through my wireless and multi effects unit, I seem to I don't seem to notice it. Of course in that situation I only have one sound source, my rig, except for the rest of the band.
