Did it on a MM Sub years ago. Just widened the nut for the B, and gave the set up a tweak. No worries.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1495480773' post='3304109'] Good that you managed to get it on video - things like this are usually impossible to capture! [/quote] Over the years we've accumulated quite a blooper reel

The folks at Xvive asked for a video of the U2 not working properly. Fortunately this very thing was available from a Junkyard Dogs gig. I sent it to them, so watch this space.

Wowsers!

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1493659602' post='3289812'] +1 to what Osiris just said. That's pretty much spot on! [/quote] With the caveat that a lot of amps are voiced, so a flat EQ ain't necessarily so.

Plenty of bass goes through the monitors. When I played there before, I went through the amp, but it wasn't loud enough for on stage monitoring, so I had bass in the monitors. So this time I didn't want to bother with it. I did end up DI'ing through the BDI121.

So at last night's gig (6 bands just a line check between bands) the normal set up for bass is to go through the supplied back line, a Fender Rumble, which is DI'ed. Having played there before, I just wanted to DI straight from my Behringer BDI121 (there are monitors on stage) but the soundguy said he would prefer me to go through the amp as it 'would put less strain on the PA'. Is this true?

We're on about 8. 6 bands from 5pm, doors open at 4pm. https://m.facebook.com/Metal-2-The-Masses-London-2017-m2tmlondon-1224132694305851/

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1492461205' post='3280508'] so bearing this in mind would you buy this unit again or something else [/quote] If i just had basses, or didn't have guitars with humbuckers, definitely buy it again. But as i don't, and do, nope

So at Saturdays gig, i tried all 4 channels, with the same result. The sound just breaks up.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1492198657' post='3278699'] I love the Vampyres, never had one but always wanted one.....wheres the pics? [/quote] This!

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1492013720' post='3277213'] Just come across the Xvive wireless system. Anyone like to comment on how they hold up after a few months' use? Are people even still using them? [/quote] yup, still using mine, I've been using it with my basses, and a Telecaster guitar. All good. but... I brought my Epiphone TS Les Paul and Gibson MM Flying V out of retirement, and it doesn't like them. At home and rehearsals it's fine, but at gig levels the sound breaks up. Not sure why this is, as it's only the amp that gets louder. Xvive said to try the different channels. I will but I can't do it a home because I need to be playing at gig levels.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1491899756' post='3276187'] but do be careful not to stray into any of that awful "slapping" nonsense that the young people of today seem to be obsessed with. It's not big, and it's not clever. [/quote] Especially those young whipper snappers Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins!

[quote name='Ba55me15ter' timestamp='1478532662' post='3169654'] Twice the price - twice the quality? Stay tuned... [/quote] Half the weight?

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1491589292' post='3274194'] Yes we are.. i can see them fine on my phone.. [/quote] Are you on an iPhone? I'm on Android and I'm just getting the blank spaces too

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1491329006' post='3272190'] Somebody create a list?? [/quote] Have we got a location yet?

Aaah! Damn antocorrect. Meant Pino, not Pink. Imagine Pink in The Who?

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1490433712' post='3265084'] Oooo imagine that? As long as he kept it focused and didn't shred, Billy Sheehan in The Who would be amazing. The only problem I could see is that he maybe brings too much of an identity in his playing to fit in, but I reckon it could be worked out. Billy Sheehan is not my lover. [/quote] He's always made a point of saying 90% of what he does, is just playing bass in the band. Pink didn't have problems fitting in and his playing definitely has its own identity.
