Problem I have is I still have the 12 step which had to take the front of the board, and the back is the helix HX and the voice live. I could use something smaller than the voice live and the b3n instead of the helix, I would have more room, and I could use an actual sample player instead of my looper for effects. The only other option would be to use a different wireless that didn't have a bass, like those boss plug thingys

I was watching a youtube of one of the big Pink Floyd tributes the other day and having seen pink floyd live several times, they were easily as good, and TBH, probably a bit better.

I have gigged my SY-1 several times now. I need to redo the pedalboard for it. It is key in a few songs now.

I love the look of them but discovered it was impossible to use them to play the bass with without damaging the connector!

Seems to be not that uncommon with drummers though.

Really? They are the worst cables I have ever had. I don't know anyone with one that hasn't failed and been replaced. No way I would use one live

My main jack leads I have bought of the internet with Nutrik switching connectors and Van Damme cable, they have lasted since I got them 3 years ago or so and are still great. I have a whirlwind cable that was left behind in a room in a friends house in 1991 which is still good. And then of course there are fender leads. They will replace them if they break which means you can just make a regular monthly appointment with your local music shop to get them replaced, although I don't get through them as fast as I would never use them for gigging.

But they are a corporation rather than a musical group as such.

I have always been wary, but never actually had any trouble with it.

Ours does. It is only now he has bought an IEM that he is starting to realise that it is actually less flexible than going to the mixer. For me in this situation I would go for a second hand Xr16, just to get the auxes. There is no way I would be happy sharing a monitor mix with anyone else!

What happens to those people who only join eBay because they want one thing? I know someone who wanted a guitar that was listed on ebay that he had been after for years, so he joined, bought that guitar which he is happy with but has no intention of ever using eBay again.

Well, hawkwind have had 2 top 40 singles, and I believe more than a couple of membership changes.

Not really as the neck would be too wide and it would be a faff, compared to just having something designed that way Yeh, it would be a nasty hack. Its what caused me to make my own bass, which has 15mm spacing but narrower at the nut. TBH, I need to take that apart, improve the neck, shave a bit more off the body and I would probably have what I wanted.

I loved the colour of the GVB, especially in the sun where it just glows. I loved the string spacing at the bridge too, which is perfect. It is just the string spacing at the nut which is just way too big, I needed it to taper and it didn't. Still a good bass though, even if you have a life time of turning the wrong knob for treble, or forgetting which one is the pull pot!

Yeh, that is how it starts. You will find it quite frustrating that you cant use IEMs effectively if the guitarist isn't going into the desk so he will eventually at least stick a mic in front of the amp. Which is a pain as the volume levels change at every gig. My bass goes into the PA, but doesn't come out of the PA, but it gets into the IEMs and any recordings that way. I don't think the issue will be the 12 inputs. Unless the drummer is plugging the whole kit in we dont' get near the 16 in the X18, the issue is the aux outputs. I couldn't use the XR12 as it only has two aux's. I was ok with the xr16 as it had 4, which gave us one monitor for each person, and the X/XR 18 has 6, which is handy in my second band where there are 5 of us. Good luck with the no responsibility for setting up the PA thing!

I had a XR16 and upgraded to an X18, purely because I wanted the multichannel recording. If you don't want that then you are right, there isn't much to be added. Well, it is a self selling thing. When it comes down to it, most people who buy one don't have an idea how to use it effectively before getting it (apart from the weirdos that reseach these things). However, you will find it becomes pretty clear pretty fast and as you are saying that the band want to go iem, you will see those results pretty quickly, so it is mostly about how many aux outs you have, one for each person / monitor. I wouldn't cope with wired but it is true it is cheaper. What we have is for a 4 piece is me and the guitarist have wireless iem, drummer has wired one (he isn't going anywhere) and the singer is trying to get used to the idea. The drummer only has his vocals and my bass in his ears, I have most things, especially vocals, but mostly my vocals and a bit of bass. The guitarist has mostly the guitar and some of the other things.

As a note, same as any other tube head, apart from the Ashdown CTM-100 which doesn't have a standby. Generally with valves, the cooling down is more important for long life than the heating up!

It is viable, if you have it. I went on for over a year until the first time the wifi failed, although bear in mind it isn't a binary - one day you turn it on and it doesn't work. no it is working fine and then half way through your gig you can't really control it any more, some changes occur, some dont etc. Too many phones in the area. My external router was £15 and is slightly smaller than the mains plug, but never had any trouble with it.

I have tried it with a B3n, and that worked well! Probably not going to be using it with much as I don't have room for many small pedals on my board (in fact I only have a few small pedals now) as there is too much there. And frankly, I have been through the small pedal thing and don't really want to go back there, just too much hassle compared to a multi.

Eating?

Good luck with that. The guitarist would rather complain about the mix then do it himself Remember with group effects like reverb you are doing a submix which can trip you up later, so you have 3 vocals going to reverb, and the reverb slider up in the mix and you are trying to turn someones vocals out but still hear them, remember it is coming through the reverb! Obvious I know, but caught me out near the beginning. Also microphone groups are useful. Well, muting groups. Is it good? I was looking at one of those. I use the iPad app obviously, but sometimes when you are playing it you try and quickly jab at it to take something down and it doesn't respond well enough. The XTouch was quite expensive but looks quite appealing, especially as you can use it on a computer as well. Does it connect easily enough to not be another hassle when you are setting up?

He did for union as he was part of the ABWH (alternate yes) , but Alan White was still in the band, so they had two drummers (well, two of everything). In fact, as there were only 4 years at the beginning when he wasn't in the group and Chris died 4 years ago, he is probably now the longest serving member of Yes.

Although the drummer has been there since 72 without a break, so thats not too bad.

Some of richard cheeses stuff is brilliant, not the friends one you posted. How about this: Bearing in mind I really like the original.
