Meh. I've learned that a lot of players are endorsement whores. If they can get something for free, they'll show their face, irrespective of whether they use it or not. I suspect that M and V showed a bit of interest and they capitalised on the moment and got as many vids and photos as they could. They are a startup - kinda hope they do well... but the product seems a lot less developed than the woojer... but having said that, the original woojer was a bit err... basic. Im actually trying to figure out how this system works... it may be a bit different to the woojer in that it looks like you have a Y cable from your bass - one end to your amp/di line and the other into the device? The presence of the big jack socket makes me think that. The fact that it has an aux suggests it could be used similar to a Woojer though? Haven't looked into the vids too deeply at this stage though. The biggie though - The top of your back is not really where you want to be feeling bass in my opinion. Feeling it in the pelvis is defo where I think the biggest feeling of bass is obtained. It seems to resonate around the body better there than anywhere else. The Woojer's versatility for placement scores a big win in that department.... for me at least. $399 is a lot for what it is... especially as the woojer strap is currently $149

Might have been a dilema - upset the guy that has done the demo... or put out something that sounds like a fart. There's only so much you can fix in post...

Ahem. February. TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN. Hell of a thread revival for your first post...

are you some kinda b*stard trying to kill rock n roll now? What about the dinosaurs?

Ha - I did a gig with my friends dad's band. I think he may have loaned us a keyboard back in the day!

When's the RCF landing?

I saw this amongst the NAMM releases. There is a problem with this I can see already... for a lot of people, unless you are built like quasimodo, the transducer is not going to be in contact with your body. Unless that thing is pressed up right against your body, a great deal of kinetic energy is going to be lost - or not felt at all. For me, I think the woojer is still the winner, as you can move it around your body - for every musician I know first hand who have used it, they all put the woojer on their waist. This doesn't look like an option for those sporting a back beat. I dont like the fact that the controls would be on your back too. Personally, a picture of Victor Wooten with said product doesn't do it for me... I think I would stick with the woojer.

Told ya! That HF horn makes ALL the difference for vocals.

You should try dealing with GAK!

PS...

I've been very pleased with my 745s. I think you'll be impressed. Report back soon!

I dont really mind either. There's more things that annoy me about the rest of the bass in the second picture than the headstock... and some of them aren't the bass itself!

Because your iem sound will be much better.. and ultimately you can get rid off all the mush on stage and use your foh for volume. Your monitoring is better. The sound of your band is better. What's not to like?

So you're a fan then?

It's only one feed per instrument - and you can do the drums in two!

So whats the next step then?

Aw cmon, Alleva must be top of the pile on the JB front. EDIT: although it may be D Lakin.

Agreed - the requirement for a straight string lie pretty much dictates the shape that a headstock needs to be. They are all variations on a theme. Yes, there's loads of people doing whacky headstocks... but they invariably end up being clunky or meaning that a string doesn't lie straight through the nut and hence more likely to cause tuning issues or strings jumping out of the nut. I'd say all of those British luthiers have done a great job or meeting the spec.

The Wal 4 string headstock is one of my most hated headstocks of all time... but then the 5 I think is lovely.

Ah JT. Instantly recognisable headstock. I'd say job done. May not be to everybody's taste but as soon as you see it in print, on the TV etc, you know exactly what it is.

I've never used the Zoom or Positive Grid stuff so don't know how good it is or not. I guess, the thing is to try them out and see if they are for you.

I was in the same boat as you. The modern modellers really do cut the mustard however. I remember trying out the Kemper when it first came out thinking that it was good but not quite there. A few software iterations down the line and it's now in my ownership. The helix is definitely in the same camp too.

Both Kemper and Helix have EQ and gain, volume....

Well that escalated quickly "and another one"

Does the Dean do a mean fart too?
