Yes, if it doesn't work it doesn't work. I would be surprised if there was a problem finding a blues / rock band, they seem the most common.

Still waiting on mine (not just the neck!)

Can you not go back to cruises, but just for the winter?

Yep - a tribute..

I made some mods on guitarchat, things should be easier now, but if there are any problems let me know

I will have a look tonight - these little issues like that are getting a bit annoying, I need to find out what is going on there.

They have been doing it for a while - its a crazy price, I am sure someone pays that.

Ooh so the Frank Black filter works then More than likely there is an issue with your cache and guitarchat - a new caching system has been put on there to do with adverts and it seems to intefere with some addresses (including mine, although I can log in). I suspect the security check thing might not be set up properly - if @Dad3353 isn't around (as I think he does most of the modding around there) I can look later

all a bit negative no? At least someone under 50 has a bass in a video

Ah that is a pain - although that one is also in china with shipping, so it woudn't help. Mine was for sale for a while, but it is only a 5, and currently i need to redo the headstock. TBH - at nearly £400 it isn't worth it, but below 300 it maybe. I was surprised at how well these things play, and that the neck is pretty good. The oddest thing is that having built a bass myself and having a handle on it, it is odd about how some of the trickier things are spot on, but the simple things aren't right - like, the neck is straight, the action is good, the frets are good, but the side dots aren't lined up and the machineheads are in the wrong place which pulled the bridge off. The pickups are good, but the jack socket was a mono rather than the stereo so it couldn't switch the batteries off. The shape is well done, however the shape is clearly done by someone who had seen a bongo and drawn it from memory, which is odd as there are pictures on the net that would say it is wrong - but the wrong shape they have done is perfect. The finish is perfect, but it has two battery boxes, one of which is a fake. It is a weird combination of good and bad, but not where you would think. However, as I said, I did gig it, it sounded fine (although now having a bongo, not the same) and someone even asked me about it. I would gig it again.. except I have a real one which I am kind of in love with, so why would I!

I understand what fake means, do you? It is an illegal copy of a bongo adjective: fake not genuine; imitation or counterfeit. noun: fake a thing that is not genuine; a forgery or sham. verb: fake; forge or counterfeit (something).

I gigged it, it was fine, Neck is good, headstock is out of line so the strings aren't straight. Its playable, although had to redo the preamp as it was wired permanently ie, the battery drains straight away because it doesn't switch off - yes, there is one battery, two pretend battery holes just for show. The finish was actually ok. only if you bought it here, if you bought it from aliexpress where it is a lot cheaper it would just come through and have free shipping. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000326860373.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.43.50a110f3unFuC1&algo_pvid=1f5f8904-589c-4b72-9081-126c444b803a&algo_exp_id=1f5f8904-589c-4b72-9081-126c444b803a-21&pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!239.27!239.27!!!294.78!!%40211b88f116920847898717128e0200!10000001341805181!sea!UK!1744630971!&curPageLogUid=8yue0sW0zrvc

I use the behringer X18, but obviously not the internal mixer, so I just go through a cheap £40 5GHz mixer Last open air thing I did I just plugged my U4 into where their floor monitor was.

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.
