Woodinblack

I have had very little issues in the last few years of using the U4, inteferance wise, but most of my other wireless is 5GHz

It is a fake with the logo on it. You could get them for about £200 from AliExpress - that is about the right price.

Looks pretty much the same as my wrongo - You can get them cheaper from Aliexpress than that. I asked for mine to not have the logos on it.

I used the Widi and the Yamaha bluetooth thing for the keyboard floor pedal to the iPad for backing synth tracks, until I got the Mod Dwarf which now does it. The latency was way less than the latency between my brain and foot on the footpedals!

Looks nice here: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/other/limited-edition-paranormal-rascal-bass-hh/0377107556.html

Bluetooth latency for analogue and digital are different. A codec to maintain a reliable audio stream on bluetooth headphones has a minimum of 30ms and may go many times more. Obviously fine for headphones where there is no time constraint but useless for real time monitoring. Midi doesn't need putting through a codec, it is already digital data and it doesn't have to maintain a consistent flow, so the latency is pretty low (although it can vary). Seems the WIDI -> WIDI latency is around 5ms or so, or a bit longer if you are going from WIDI -> built in bluetooth. So for midi, the start and stop of notes, you are never going to notice it. I know there are people on here who detect very small amounts of latency but for the majority of us we are not going to notice.

we gigged about 100 gigs with just the Alto 312s. and they were sort of ok, not great. Now have a RCF Evox 8 so I use that and a 312, and that seems to cover most things. Frankly if it is just for the vocals shouldn't be much of an issue.

Ah - I assumed that is what the harmonic emphasis was (seems not), as the knob is in the same place as the drive on the others.

But if you are not handling it then it is ok?

I am not sure what you mean here with the white cable to the other coil. So you have two pickup pieces (actually two independent pickups), one connects to volume, one connects to earth somewhere and a cable connects the two together? So which part of the pickup isn't working - did you try the output of just one part of the pickup pieces?

You tried it without a lead in it didn't you? in which case you won't get any of that interference and the fact is turning the input down did nothing, but turning the volume down did something - the noise is in the preamp - external noise would affect everything equally, and RF would only be an issue with a bass plugged in (especially a passive bass). I am sure GG will fix it, they can just swap the valve with one they have lying around.

Must be better. And I guess they assume that after paying £700 for the unit and £250 for the pickup, you aren't going to notice paying £60 for a TRS cable.

Actually I would put money on it being an issue with the valve that is there.

Broken component in the power supply that supplies the preamp. I have used one of these, it is just as fine as every other ashdown. This is broken.

Its a straight TRS cable with a twisted pair and shield. Any one will work, but obviously boss are going to sell their own.

£45 for the logo and £5 for the bass?

People still seem to like mustang sally, pubs still have bands, and young people like to see the bands while filming each other with their phones. Middle aged and older (ie, people who remember a pub scene in the 70s!) still go to pubs.

Wow - more than a dollar?

Isn't it just one of the pickups of the gretsch g220 that he actually made his name with but is to cheap to make much money from?

Import costs are not bad really. If you wanted to buy a bass in 2015, if it cost £1000 that would have been €1430. Now that would be €1,158+20% vat, that would be €1389, cheaper than it used to be from your direction!

I suppose if you either made it hollow (not sure how you would do that) or made it thinner it would be less weight. Not sure the headstock is adding too much weight. Also shape - if you went for a steingburger shape you could probably get it down quite a bit.. Oh.. look at that - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859958210.html

Well, that would be lighter if it is hollow!

s'funmny - I was going to say they are going to be the new Sue Ryders!

There aren't going to be any < 10lb acrylic basses.

you could always play the original
