Ah, i didn’t notice that. That’s actually photoshoped as the guitarist behind is always complaining no ever see’s his face 🤣 -
By small, i mean a 6 piece band on (or off) a stage that holds 3 at the most 🤣
-
To be fair the issues have been on very small stages. Larger stages have always been fine. First time it happened (only talking about the XR18, nothing else has issues) the bass players 5.8 reciever on his amp was maybe 6ft from the router if that, which was stuck on the floor. We had occasionally freezes but nothing too drastic. The next couple of times were when my singer had her 5.8 wireless mic receiver plugged directly in to the XR18. This was maybe a foot from the router. Too close i know but it was tight on the stage. Each time we turned off her recorder we had more luck, and when we got the bass player to run off his system we got full control back. I have now got workarounds for this, inc moving the router as far away as possible from the mixer and bass player, and also using 2.4ghz. So far it’s all working as it used to before the shift to 5.8. We have played the small venues a couple of times since going to 2.4, an even though the router is still on the floor close to the bass amp its been fine.

For two gigs i went to 6E for our XR18 and that was really smooth. No lag and certainly no congestion. It just wasn’t very convenient as i was using my home router. Still thinking about going that route though if we get any more issues. At the moment 2.4ghz is working better for us.
-
Yeah, I was not clear with what I was trying to got say. Worded it wrong and way off the mark lol, but I am noticing more issues with 5.8 than I did a few years ago, at least at gigs we do regularly.
-
No, not the same freq, I was just pointing out that things are shifting away from 2.4ghz and 5.8 is getting more crowded now. I do appreciate even 5G works in the 2.4Ghz range.
-
im starting got think 5.8GHZ is getting too busy these days. At a few recent gigs ive scanned the networks and found hardly any public wifi networks broadcasting on 5.8, and only a few on 2.4, but have had to switch back to 2.4 for our XR18 to work smoothly. I guess with everyone now using 5G on their phones maybe this end of the freq band is filling up. We have had more issues with our XR18 since more band members have started using 5.8Ghz devices (mainly on smaller stages).

First 5 string - Sire Marcus Miller V7 Reissue a good entry point?

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. -
YouTube video from last year 😎

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.
-
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.
-
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.

dave_bass5 replied to Mudpup's topic in General Discussion
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 🙄. -
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.
-
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.
