DRs all the way.

That Behringer is a great piece of kit - certainly alot of connectivity on the go for not a great amount of cash. I've got a number of digital desks on my radar at the moment but it's going to be quite an investment to get the number of channels and outs that I need. That Mackie DL is good - the reverb isn't the greatest on it but it's a really neat package. Just wish they'd come out with a 32 channel version of it! Talking of Behringer, that X32 seems to be taking the mixing desk world by storm.

Wow. Nice bit of kit.

Its not leather.

What digital desk are you using?

Thanks for the headsup... I'll add one to my next big order!

Quick brain dump then. OK - with regards to monitoring, the most important starting point is the desk. You need to have as many aux sends prefader as you want individual mixes. If your desk hasn't got enough sends, you are knackered from the word go as you'll be ending up sharing mixes or not having enough mixes to cover all the individuals in the bands requirements. Remember - a drummers wants from a monitor mix is very different from a vocalists... and so on. If at any point you want to go In Ears, remember you can now get stereo in ears, so you'll need twice the auxes for running up a stereo feed. In short, don't buy the wrong desk as you are usually stuck with what you get. (OK, digital desks you can expand some what from an I/O point of view) With the advent of digital desks, aux sends are a lot more plentiful and configurable but there are still those that prefer an analogue desk. A digital desk has lots of pros and negatives but I fear that is a completely separate topic. From an ease of use and carriage, powered monitors are the way to go. Make sure you don't buy weedy... depending upon the size of the venue, you'll soon find out that on the larger stages, you'll need some more umph if you plan on travelling any distance from your monitor. Additionally, ideally you want a bare minimum of two 31 band eqs, one for FOH mix and one for monitor mix to ring out any troublesome frequencies. This means outboard. Outboard means more carrying of gear. I don't know how serious you want to get, but ideally you should be carrying around some compressors, gates and reverb units as a minimum. Some analogue desks have reverb built in... I'm not sure of any that have onboard compression or gates... All of a sudden that expensive digital desk is looking more favourable - but having said that, I guess there are numerous bands out there who are running all the signals into the desk uneffected and applying a smidge of reverb at the backend before delivering the output to the FOH.

How many band members? budget?

You are right with your gut instinct.

I know. Its still not dinky enough for my liking :-)

TC vs EBS? Chalk and Cheese. (Assuming that the TC BH250 is more tonally like their other offerings)

Good choice. You'll love the Shuttle - Genz make some great amps.

Not tried the 250 - but the Reidmar more than keeps up with the TC's larger siblings.

[quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1356735009' post='1913158'] I'd be a bit worried as to how stable your bass is going to be if it's affected that much by a temperature change. [/quote] Lots of basses (short of graphite necked basses) would show a similar behaviour going between temperature extremes. Not all players will notice a neck shift - it all depends how low your action is. If you have a cigarette paper action, then any temperature change is likely to lead to some fret choking. Anyway, if the bass played right and now doesn't, its the neck which has moved as the saddles won't move anywhere (unless there is something major up with them!) - A quarter turn as suggested will fix the issues.

In: Sony DWZ-B30GB ACS T1 Live! Yamaha RBX375 (my travel bass) Out: Status Jazz And January is looking pricey already...

That white Lakland... Mmm...

Possible dry solder joint? Try giving Soundtech or Bernie Goodfellow at GBGuitars.co.uk a shout. Bernie in particular is likely to know about any probs and still carries spares due to his faith in the EBS sound.

Reminds me of the Time Warp

Any. Assuming you arr talking about the 9v pedals.
