BigRedX Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I assume you'll be using a right-angle XLR plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Good point BigRed, (as always),,but not received the bass back yet, and its just a trial at min,, it is clear of my body when playing tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I managed to find an alembic Edwin Van Huik Signature 5 bass with a 3 pin xlr socket. http://www.station-music.de/bass/alembic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFry Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This Ibanez acoustic has both 1/4 and XLR outs . ( 1:30 in ) [media]http://youtu.be/gebmMcduqSY[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Tried this first time tonight,, initially on the conversion on the Ibanez (see earlier), but also made a small fly lead (jack to XLR) to try on the Jazz,,,, took all previous comments seriously,, but no issues (Phantom power on a LS9 desk is not global across the board etc),, completely silent,, so basically walked on with the jazz,,, connected straight to the desk,(via Cat5 cable after stage box),,,,, was sent return signal thru monitors,,, sounded brilliant.........did the gig,, unplugged and walked off,,,,,happy days...for these half hour warm up gigs, going to explore this route,, its so easy, and works well,, (not talking little venues either, Doncaster Dome, Newcastle City Hall, Carlisle Sands, Big UK Theatres on this gig)...Chuffed,, thanks for all the comments.

icastle Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 There are enough posts on BC where people haven't realised that leaving an active bass plugged in flattens the battery. If you replace the TRS socket with an XLR you're going to have to find an alternative switching method and if we can't remove a jack plug then we sure as hell aren't going to remember to turn a switch off are we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 On 17/11/2013 at 10:50, casapete said: Some versions of the Hohner B2A (Steinberger design) have an XLR out. Never used it on mine though............ yes - I have one of those. But just to be clear it carries an unbalanced signal via two of the oins only. Either direct from the ()stock) Hi-Z pickups or via the on board preamp. So not providing a 'DI' output in the sense of a low-Z balanced output.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 And as another version of events- I'm fairly sure my Vigier Passion s3 delivers a low impedance (600 ohm) output. Its not balanced though. I only uses a regular ¼ inch jack and lead. The idea being that it'll drive long cables and plug into any mic-designated jack sockets on mixers, PAs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool/weird old thing, should've bought it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Belly Evans Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 My Thunder II has one. Apparently it was an optional extra on the version 3. I wonder how many others there are?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
