That makes sense. Surprised they didn't do it earlier really, I would have certainly looked at it when I was replacing my broken U4, and later when looking for a replacement for the MS-2. -

Good holder for a kay! -
When I get a chance I will test that to see what it is. Cetainly doesn't sound dull (and I have bright strings) and I haven't noticed a distortion, although honestly when gigging I am not going to be that concerned about a 6khz roll off, this doesn't have to be hifi

Only the intro. Tool songs use the other strings too!

The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2026 -- Sunday 11th October 2026 (hopefully)
Woodinblack replied to Rich's topic in Events
Theres another one -
Oh sorry - couldn't read that that said SR500. That makes no sense, SR500s are brown with pretend barts, a blue one should be a different model.
-
Well, that isn't a new new finish is it? the SR500 has always been brown. I always viewed that as their actual base serious model, if you want nords you go up the number range.

How about the status-alike one?

What new gear should be produced?
Woodinblack replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I'd get one of those. Although to be fair, my main bass is a Maruszczyk which has a P and J pickup and an ibby soundgear profile neck -
Yes. indeed - that's what mine are (as I have balanced TRS outs on the X18) For normal mono outs, I have TRS to XLR adapters, and I do have a dual XLR mono to XLR stereo cable (or a few of them) that I could use, they usually are with the chapman stick that has a stereo out. - edit - I note that this is now actually OTT, as I could go from the stereo ¼" jack to the ¼" jack on the IEMs - its just I have these cables anyway as I was using the MS-2 before hand, and that only had a 3.5mm jack

It would be exactly the same as the sound coming entirely from one side, ie 90° to you, but somehow being as loud on the back side What is a TRS to TRS adapter? Why would you need to adapt that? if you plug a mono lead in, it would be fine, its only with a stereo lead. Thats one advantage of a balanced output, it would give you a fine mono output if you use a TS jack.
-
I don't think so. I am in a general cover band and a metal band. The metal band almost never go past the first 2 strings, the cover band does all of them. I guess metal just stays in the mud!
-
Absolutely not. If you connect to a TRS you have a balanced output, and a ground. The signal (a mono one) is amplified in some IEM amplifier, the ground maybe connected to the hardware ground, or isn't, it doesn't matter. that is the correct way. If you connect a mono source to a stereo output, you need to sum both stereo lines to that mono line. The way you are doing if you are putting a mono source into a stereo headphone, both sides are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. I have an X18, not an XR18, they are all TRS (and a headphone out). But they are aux line level out so it would have never occured to me to put them into a headphone! (and the normal aux I used was a TRS plug to an XLR socket. Absolutely. In fact any 'normal'* IEM system would expect a balanced mono, the same as most other XLR use in gigging Maybe you don't notice the phase or there is that thing that people mentioned on the CQ settings that lets you set it as a headphone out (or maybe headphone stereo). * the P2 has a stereo switch and allows you to use it as a stereo.
-
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!
