    Nice one. Very much look forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Been looking at this myself over Christmas. Looks very good value for money and im due for a non Fender type bass (yeah, i know who invented the Stingray). I love narrow string spacing on a 5 so it seems perfect-ish.

    I only use reviews to find out features really, and don’t go by general recommendation (especially as i want it for bass and he is a guitarist), but as I already had the Gp-5 and now the GP-50, based on its features, Its nice to see others also thinking the same. i was going to keep the GP-5 as a back up but i really can’t see me needing it anymore, especially as i also got the Sonicake pocket master.

    Cheers. Watched it earlier. Good review. Totally agree 100% with everything he said.

    Got a late one from my wife yesterday. A pair of Adam DV3 monitors. Been after iloud micro's for ages, but then saw these earlier in the year. Blown away by the sound, and the love lol.

    Must admit i thought the same. Ive never, ever, come across a modern device that wasn't using a standard jack. Certainly not IEM stuff.

    My singer has this one (if you’re talking about the KZ type), although she doesn’t use those IEM’s anymore. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07ZQCBYXS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    Yeah, im wondering if the distortion wouldn't be noticed with a live band, especially on a smaller stage.
  10. dave_bass5
    By music I meant the rest of the band, although I did try it with recorded music as well. Its not a gain issue, its just something that seems to be there at the end of the note etc. I couldn't get rid of it no matter how I adjusted things. I must admit I went looking for it as a lot of users have reported this, and the unit I had was a return on Amazon so could have bene faulty. On The Nux website they do mention that sound quality isnt top notch, but they focused on usability or something like that.

    Do you get any distortion? I had a set for a few days and while i thought they sounded ok, when i put music through them (virtual soundcheck using the XR18) i could hear a distortion on the music. Apparently this is a thing with these. Even Nux mention it. I never tried them in a loud environment to see if it was really noticeable, but it was at home.

    I use the Thomanns version of the MiPro 2.4 system and have never had an issue either. The only issue we have had recently was our XR18 was acting up, and i have a feeling this started when 2 of the band started using 5.8ghz wireless systems in close proximity to our external router. Ive always used 5.8 for the XR18 but at the last gig i switched it to 2.4 and it worked flawlessly. I wonder if the systems with the larger antenna are a bit more robust over those that have them internally like the Lekato MS-02 etc? Im also starting to wonder if 5 is now getting congested. I do scan networks at some venues and rarely find many operating (publicly) on 5.8, but i cant help feel that all those 5G phones in the audience could start interfering with the 5.8GHZ network. Could be way off the mark though.

    Wife got me these for Christmas. Didnt realise they both do the same thing lol. And this after me just getting a Valeton GP-50 🙄. FB 200 going back to Amazon.
  14. dave_bass5
    That bass drive is an odd one. Its so hot. I use it as my dirt but with the gain at 8 and mixed quite low.
  15. dave_bass5
    As im now mainly a keys player, i got two bass multi FX for Christmas 🤣. I had asked for one or the other a while back, but as i got a GP-50 earlier this month i took them off my list. Now i have these two, a GP-5 and GP-50 🙄.
  16. dave_bass5
    Are you connecting directly to the mixer or through an external router? I do the latter with Ethernet and don’t have to select direct connection in MS.
  17. dave_bass5
    On the back of that question, is the effect the same (more or less) as having a slightly loose earpiece, or is there more to it? i know i lose a lot of low end when one of mine gets a bit unseated.
  18. dave_bass5
    What were you expecting? Why did you buy it? It could well be you don’t need it. I got mine because i wanted an Ampeg vibe through the combo’s i use at rehearsals, and wanted a bit of OD and modulation all in one small box. The GP-5 and now 50 provide exactly what i need. I don’t bother using either at home as i use other things. They aren the best ive ever had, and are quite limited compared to the Zoom's and Helix etc, but as an all in one package it fits my needs perfectly.
  19. dave_bass5
    Had a couple of similar gigs myself recently, so also got an adapter for LAN. Fortunately im on iOS and it works without issues
  20. dave_bass5
    Ive already lost mine 😂. Going to buy another (few).
  21. dave_bass5
    Although i still buy bits and pieces (probably up to about 10 preamp pedals this year), ive not been keeping them. I like using a preamp that adds something to the basic tone, but can easily get by without if I had to. In fact the best two gigs ive done this year were with me just going direct in to a supplied bass combo. Its nice toy have toys, but since ive been playing keys in a few bands on and off, and all the bassist ive played with use nothing other than a bass and cable, it made me realise the Rabbit Hole is a very deep one, but doesnt really need visiting.

    Thanks Bas. I think the GX10 is a much better device than the GP-50 for you. As good as the GP5/50 are, they lack the versatility that a lot of other pedals have, especially the Zoom stuff. For me thats what im looking for. Each time i get something like a Zoom i seem to spend so much time messing about with it. I find the GP-5 to be set and forget. Ive been using it with a band and find i dont touch it at all, once its on its on and i just use a footswitch to turn drive or modulation no and off. No adjustment's made. I expect the same will be true with the GP-50, although its nice to be able tweak things on the fly. Just minor adjustments. I do find the NAM/Snaptone stuff to be very good, and i find i don’t use the Amp/cab sims, which i feel are a bit limited. These days i tend to keep a lot of the cheaper stuff i have, but do prefer to off load the more pricey stuff. I expect the EBS Microbass 3will fall in to the later category now. Seeing as i just spent £1400 on a new keyboard, i raraly have bass GAS these days. Very much settled down in that respect. Good luck with the GX10.

    My GP-50 arrived today. It does sound exactly the same as the GP-5, but sooooo much easier to use. No need to use the App at all, except for one thing. The so called onboard drum machine is nothing more than 10 different patterns of high hat. So basically a metronome. You still need the app to get any proper drum patterns. I dont intend to use this feature, but I find it very misleading (it is mentioned in the manual, but easy to miss until you get one and try and get some drum patterns going). Still, that aside, it's a keeper. I wont even need to use the Chocolate Plus now.
  24. dave_bass5
    I use stereo and have a full stereo mix of the band in my IEM. Each guitar panned to opposite sides, bass in the middle, kick in the middle and overheads/rest of kit as a stereo spread. Lead vocal in the centre and BV’s panned off centre. I love this set up.
