crez5150 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 If your sending to FOH why don't you just get them to give you a mix of your bass in the monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messing with your tone or not turning you up loud enough in the monitors so it's like miming with your own band. Looking down at your fingers moving and what do you hear? Nothing. Regardless of how much you ask nicely for some changes or get frustrated and and turn yourself up, they just turn you down by more. You can't win. That's why I gave up using just a pod XT when I went out live. Despite how convenient it was, I just got tired of sound engineers messing with my tone or not being able to hear myself. Why spend a bit of time getting a tone that would tear the head off a thick necked rhino when the sound guy thinks, "Ooh, I don't like that. Not very conventional. Let's tear all the treble and mid off and turn the bass up." In other words, it sounds like a wet fart and everything above E on the A string is inauduble. Sod that. That actually happened to me and after a few more incidents like that (frequency pans DURING songs being the best example - banjo sound to fretless in 2 minutes!!) I got tooled up with my own small stack. My advice echoes Stylon's - Get a power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Why did you sell your power amp? Sell your cab as well now, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 sound engineers might tell you tough sh@t as powering a bass cab using their monitor power amps may use most of their amplifier and not the monitors. just buy another power amp. that way you aint putting your trust in sound guys and also venues to have decent enough monitor power to do so.
