Anyone used a dB Technologies B-Hype 8 for bass practice?
dave_bass5 posted a topic in Amps and Cabs
Im currently in a band that rehearse in the singers living room. We have a drum kit (thats has dampening pads) and the two guitars use smallish amps but we dont play too loud I go through an old Peavey 150watt 1x15 combo, but it's kept in the adjacent room, with plants on top lol. Im loath to turn it up as it's in a glass conservatory so the neighbours will get annoyed. I can hear it ok most of the time. Singer won't let me move it before you mention it. The issue I have is before it's a room away, there is a lack of definition by the time it gets to my ears. I can use EQ, but that still wouldn't fix the glass room and reflections issue. Anyway, im thinking of getting the above speaker that I can use in the same room as the band. Play quieter, get heard with a bit less bloom. I was looking at things like the Joyo 30watt but this seems more practical. Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts. I will never need to gig it or use it in a larger rehearsal room, I have other things for that, but this seems small and cheap enough that I'll just leave it at the singers house. -
Looks like it a has a mid para EQ with is great news if it does. I have a couple of mid settings on my Microbass 3 that I use for different things. Would be great to have these programmed in.

For me its all i could want, or at least need. No expression pedal makes it smaller, which is what i always look for and has put me off so many other boxes. Im using a GP-50 at the moment and other than always on Ampeg NAMM or sim, both quite restricted in tone options (although good enough) i only use a bit of Comp and Chorus. I dont need to make silly noises liek synth or filter stuff, and have no need for any real time control. What i miss is using my BDDI, but im limiting myself to only use one box these days, as this works. There have been a few Ampeg style boxes ive wanted, but without the chorus and comp, so not ideal.

Well he did win 😂

Yeah but with IEM’s in and on stage with spill, ambient etc, you still have more than just bass in your ears, so its still not really going to be noticeable IMO.

3 lost already 😂 -
This is how i see it. IF it has the sound of the BDDI, it will be a good update, especially as it has Chorus and comp as well. Id love to get a programable BDDI but they dont have the MKII Mid control, which i really liked in the BDDI KMII. Looking at it, it seems to have a mid sweep and Q, maybe more like a cut down Q-strip than the old BDDI, which elevates it even higher for me.

Personally i think this will sound fine. I don't think T21 would bring something out that they would ruin their reputation. As for analogue vs digital, once out of the bedroom i cant see what difference it will make to anyone. This is 2026, are we still having that discussion 😂
-
Started and finished ? 😬
-
Yeah, at the earliest. And who knows what the price will be if Trump hasn’t calmed down 🙄
-
Wow, at that price I’m game. Looks like a long wait so I’ll get on with life for a few months lol.
-
Saw this earlier on my feed. I’d love one but can’t imagine it’s going to cost less the £600, at the least.

Did this sell? -
78mm left to right, 122mm back to front (as you say). about 37mm high at the highest point, not including the knob.

Brough a Gooseneck off Andy this week. Couldnt have gone any smoother. Even though i was in no hurry he made the effort to get it to me asap. Top block. Cheers mate 👍🏻
-
Yeah, exactly what we have started doing at work. Its just very frustrating when a customer says they have done everything required, looks fine at their end, and all they have done is added 3mm of white space instead 🙄. We call it Canva ping pong.

I use the D’Addario 45-107BT and for me they make a difference over the standard XL’s. it sounds strange but to my fingers it makes them all feel as if they are one. no big jumps between sting thickness, tension, although obviously there is. I was worried 107 would be too thick, but it feels natural next to the other strings in this set. Could be a placebo effect, but the end result is i find my basses more of a pleasure to play, so job done in my book. Not the be all and end all, but given a choice ill stick with the BT set.

Even better than Canva, but owned by Canva, there is now Affinity. This is also free and goes way beyond Canva. Even has a vector graphics mode. All base don the old Affinity programs. As a side note, i work for a printing company, and Canva users are a nightmare. Ok if you know what you are doing, not ok if you think you know what you are doing. Bleed a crops? What all that then? 🙄

The presets do to have very similar names between the Pocketmaster and GP-5/50. It's obvious they are using the same tech, just different implimentations.

Just noticed this. Looks quite cool with those direct access buttons on the top. https://www.sonicake.com/collections/multi-effects/products/smart-box

I have one of those cables that i occasionally run in to a P2. You could also use the headphone out with just a standard stereo jack cable.
-
How would you adjust the volume from the other side of the stage or away from the mixer?
-
This guy demonstrates the pitch shift. The sound seems to change a bit but I’m sure you could use EQ to help with that. At about 8mins 10.
-
I have, or worked with others that have tried. It's never been ideal.
