Jack

Yeah. Unfortunately this is a "depends" situation. You'd be surprised at how much more you need to do outdoors properly, so if you're the main act for a loud dance floor then you'll be woefully underequipped, but if you're doing quiet jazz whilst everyone eats then maybe it'll be fine. Be careful with background music too. It tends to be compressed a lot so your speakers don't get a break, that can lead to damage very quickly.

I'm nearly always up for a political debate. Nearly always. But anyone who remembers Tin Pan Alley on that other bass forum will almost certainly agree that bass forums are for talking about bass. The only right vs left that matters here is what sub forum you list your basses for sale in. Besides what does something petty like politics matter compared to the big issues like rounds vs flats?

If you're using a rack mixer I have used this for almost ten years, works great. I know your question was about bluetooth, and we use it for that with other people's playlists etc at functions but actually for us we use the usb stick. It's always playing, and when we need backing music the drummer just leans across and rolls the hardware volume control up whilst I use the tablet to mute the stage mics. Seamless and easy. If you really have to have small then I've got one of these on my desk at work. Looks similar to the one mentioned above. I've never used it for gigs as I like more permanent solutions but no reason why it wouldn't work. Also sounds good.

You might also notice it sounding kind of muddy as you're essentially getting 'double' signal from (guessing) 100-300Hz where both the tops and the subs can give meaningful reproduction. A cut in that range might help clean things up. Edit. Just got back to the thread and noticed this has been mentioned...

Perhaps you're right, maybe I got it wrong. I'd like them back, that's for sure.

Well they did the fr800 which was essentially an active big baby but they were discontinued due to poor sales.

Don't think Romesh looks an awful lot like Wayne personally, but whatever.

My pair of FR800s was the single best rig I've ever owned, so hopefully this has a bit of that dna.

If you're a rock or punk rock fan then One Nine Nine Four is brilliant.

I have to stress, I was asked, not told. And I was the token goth in an otherwise legitimate indie rock band. The others had sideburns and parkas and everything.

As someone who was once politely asked to not play an EBMM Bongo as it was too garish, jealous of the kind of band where you can play that beautiful bass.

I dunno, they're as capable as any other decent 1x12 bass cab though.

I've done a lot of gigs with a pair of 910 and a 705. Good sounding rig.

I couldn't agree more. I got to a point in my career where I had to learn video editing and premiere pro really intimidated me. It wasn't until I realised I only needed about 7 of the buttons that I could make a start.

Yeah that depends on the definition of 'ready to use', doesn't it? I plugged my Scarlett Solo in with a cable (30 seconds?, mostly cable tidying), typed "sudo apt-get install Ardour" (3 seconds?) and then that was it. I was 'ready' in less than a minute. I just had no idea how the DAW worked, and that took me .... well, about 7 years and counting ...

Rammstein. The bass guitar just sounded like a distant rumble, it and the kick were by far the loudest things in the mix. You couldn't miss that he was playing but you couldn't tell what he was playing.

Depends how steep the slopes on the desk are, but it could work just fine. Like others here I wouldn't normally bother, but if you don't have a crossover anywhere else then it seems like a good option for you.

Is the peavey a newer one where the octave is labeled as 'kosmos b'? If so I might be interested.

I can picture a pint, and I sort of understand miles. Everything else is a nightmare. A while back my drummer's dad helped me reverse my car in a dingy venue car park. When he told me I had 3 feet to go I had to stop, work out that I'm a little under 6 feet tall because tall people are often proud of hitting the 6 feet mark, and then realise that I probably had the length of my legs still to drive before I hit anything. I've got some quite expensive basses, but the ones I always recommend are the G&L tributes. Funny old world.

On paper my p bass is just as good as Pinos and better than Jamersons.

Some pretty awesome p bass and tube amp tones.

And any mic on the front line is just a drum and backline mic too. In my last two bands I used optigates on the backing vocal mics to keep them turned off until you shove your face in them. That might be something to look into if there's a drummer struggling. It won't help them get thier voice above the drums when they're singing (as mentioned, that's what a tight pickup pattern is for) but it will mean there's no drums coming through when there's no vocals. I know most digital mixers have software noise gates but I never could ride them enough whilst also being the bassist. Hardware ones are brilliant.

The Prodipe TT1 is superb as a loud stage vocal mic. I bought my two based on the thread on pro sound web.

My rule has always been that if it's necessary it has a spare. I take a spare bass, but I don't take a spare strap (I'll sit) a spare wireless (I'll use a cable) or mic (I'm not the lead singer) etc etc. In backline bands we never bothered with a spare mixer. Even though we always ran super quiet on stage and used mics/di there's nothing stopping you from going old school. We'd just turn the amps up and run the lead vocalist straight into the speakers. My last band was all iem and no stage amps so we did take a spare as without a mixer we essentially couldn't play. Thankfully I owned a mixer and so did a guitarist. Although all this is theoretical as I've never had a mixer fail on me. Fingers crossed!
