Yep, I have one of those (for my Boss XE1), sounds like a plan, but still leaves that horrible connector which you know is going to be the first thing to break. I have one but would be reluctant to gig it unless I had physically secured something to that power adapter. Oh thats a good idea. Could glue that to the case!

Because they forgot they didn't do it at the same time as the guitar! -
Well, one thing, if it is not designed for it, if (for instance) I plugged some headphones into the TRS aux output of the X18 ihave, and it could drive it (and I have never tried, so can't say for definite), the ears would be inverted from each other - the tip and ring of a TRS aux are the positive and negative of the output, and the ground is just the cable ground. Headphones are tip to ground and ring to ground per ear, so in headphones when your left ear was pushing, your right ear would be pulling and viceversa. But irrelevant if the QC18 is designed to also run a headphone, I assume it fixes that.

The flow is great. It would be fantastic if it had a better power connector, but its still pretty good!

Also one of the reasons I wouldn't want that (regardless of being wireless, but if I wasn't), I need a real physical volume knob for partually to adjust as I go along, but mainly because at some point towards the end of the gig, our singer will somehow select the most tone deaf and loud woman in the audience to screech into the microphone with him, and I need to be able to kill that instantly!

Check the earth lead of your pickup goes to the earth of the rest of your bass

Yes, I am very surprised it works, and I can only assume that A&H realised that people plug headphones into their mixers, so they decided to detect that and boost the output. I would expect that there is little risk of damage to any pro audio equipment because the companies would expect things to be done wrong, and also when you have an signal output it is designed to be laid over a stage and may sometimes get damaged and shorted, and that has to not break the amplifiers so there should always be be protection against that kind of use.
-
Agreed - but it would have never occured to me to actually plug a headphone in there. In fact if someone had tried that with one of my mixers they would have had a good kicking!

Mine were labeled a few years ago, and since then we have had no issues. Apart from a couple of times when the bass drum has ended up in the bass socket.

No, I gig all my basses and never worried about bass type, although a 4 string has little use in my main gigging group. But the metal group has a lot of drop tuning, so it will probably live as a permanent drop D (or lower).
-
Mine is week 4 as well, but has been since a few days after I ordered it. But not an issue as it wasn't anything I actually needed anyway!

Thats nearly my perfect bass!

The MS-20 has a 3.5mm stereo jack and it is about as cheap as you can get, but it is fine connected to the aux out.
