    ...but the end of the tales may be equally as sticky.

    I know, right? If you want such financial domination and frustration, a mistress must be infinitely cheaper* *...so I'm told.

    I love rhetorical questions.

    Hi @MrPring - what is it you are actually asking?
  5. EBS_freak
    What is your setup - what have you got in terms of open mics in your existing setup? If you are purely silent stage it's all going to sound a bit dry. But if you are looking at putting some mics up to get the drum kit, it sounds like you've got analogue stuff on your stage...

    I'm not disputing that - I'm commenting on him being a builder that is showcasing his building skills by dropping the neck on the floor twice in quick succession and then thinking it's a good idea to post that on Youtube. Strange if you aren't interested in the guy you are lurking in this thread... but there you go!

    Standard practice in dropping instruments you are building? really?
  8. EBS_freak
    ...and why would you even post such a thing on youtube anyway...?
  9. EBS_freak
    Are these things actually any good? Do they play/sound better than they look (appreciating beauty is in the eye of the beholder). Just had a quick skim through his videos on youtube... I'd be well chuffed if my custom build was being dropped multiple times, getting dented along the way.

    Bump before xmas

    Nobody else seems to think so! It seems to want to stay in the corner of my lounge.

    This isn't sold. One of the pair has sold. One complete setup is still available.

    You wont hear enough of the band. You should assume you wont hear anything unless you have the other band members in your mix. Here's what I would do with your setup (whilst keeping costs down) Plug your vocal mic into channel 1 on your Behringer 1204 mixer. Use a balanced jack to XLR cable to connect the aux output from your 1204 to your FoH mixer. (Set aux send at unity on the channel aux send and master aux send). As far as FoH is concerned, just consider your mic as being directly connected as usual. Plug your bass DI into channel 2 on your Behringer 1204 mixer. Buy a pair of cheap condenser mics (e.g. something like a Behringer C2), plug them into channels 3 and 4 on your mixer - and put them on stands L and R of the stage so you can pick up whats going on on stage. I'm not sure whats happening lead singer wise, but you may need to experiment with mic placement to pick up everything as you need (maybe even having your mic pointing towards a wedge if they are monitoring that way). Make sure you turn on phantom power on you your desk so the condensers work. Ensure all aux sends are down on all channels apart from the vocal mic channel. Plug your Xvive U4 into the L out on the desk. (Being mono is fine as long as all channels are panned centrally or all to the L) In order to set your mix, just ride the faders (remembering the master output needs to be up also). Doing it this way gives you some control of your feeds by enabling you to add in some EQ (cut lows) to taste. Have fun! What desk are you using for FoH? Or is the Behringer the FoH? If it is the FoH, disregard the above...

    No.... it's a neck through. It's just the natural wood showing through

    Really love the Hawaiin print! I nearly did a bass like that - but red and white - based on some boxershorts I have!

    If any shop owners are reading this, I’ve got a powered Kemper rack and pedal up in the for sale section… it’s a steal too.
  17. EBS_freak
    Im glad it's working out! (also, hope you are over your injury).
  18. EBS_freak
    Hence the double comment.

    Need to drop from line to mic level. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395585727027 may get you there (depending upon the real world tolerances of the Lekato input). Worth a try, if not, two in series will drop you to -40db which will get easily get you within the realms of mic level. (An attenuator (or in worse case, two) with minimal output on the aux send should get you there though.)
  20. EBS_freak
    That said, if your monitoring solution works for you, all good. If your punters like your FoH mix, then great.
  21. EBS_freak
    Before the world collapses over a mono/stereo debate... We hear in stereo. So even if you send a FoH mix in mono, you get all sorts of reflections from the room which your brain will naturally give you some sense of being in a room as your ears will not be hearing the true mono L/R from the FoH speaker by the time it hits your ears. Also worth noting its the given practice to mix mono FoH. Why? So wherever you stand in the venue, you get a better chance of hearing a better, more balanced mix. Why not mono direct into your ears then? Because you aren't introducing any stereo information at all and not even any sense of ambient stereo. Humans don't hear like that. Stereo in ears, despite FoH being mono, is the way to go to give you that more realistic spacial experience, making it easier to separate instruments.

    Not many manufacturers do rehousing - and it's very unlikely you'll get that kind of turnaround.

    Price update.

    Kemper

    EBS_freak replied to Dazed's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I love my Kemper (https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/483747-kemper-powered-rack-flightcased-plus-foot-pedal-further-price-drop/) - it does it all - only selling as I've retired from the grind of gigging - I need a rest! If you're interested, I dont think you'll find a better example of kid gloved setup Ran it through my PA and used IEMs. Brilliant piece of kit - one of the coolest things I've ever bought. Different kettle of fish to the quad quartex and helix - maybe not as intuitive - but it's brilliant for all things bass and guitar. Highly recommended!

    Aha! James - Russ here, didn’t spot you first time around but now you’ve added a pic. Go UE6 - and regarding acrylic and silicon, if the fit is right (which they should be if the moulds have been taken properly) acrylic is just as comfortable.
