    The 4 On The Floor low gain drive unit is very versatile and has a HPF and LPF which makes it very adaptive to feed into other pedals. It has switchable hi and lo gain too and can really enhance a signal chain.

    I got a really nice tangle free cable from aliexpress which is all braided, unhelpfully I dont' remember the name but it has been excelent, and saved a good minute at each gig!
  8. SimonK
    Any thoughts re a replacement cable for the ear pieces? (I am coming to the conclusion that there are as many opinions as there are products RE the transmitter/receiver!)

  10. ryan0583
    I have a USA L2500, but I believe the Tribute is very similar. If you can find one I would go with it - it's the best bass there is in my opinion. So sad that G&L went out of business.

    I've played in a Prince tribute for about 19 years. I originally got into it through a join my band style website. The guitarist is a mega prince fan and put the band together. For the first 10 years we gigged pretty infrequently, and when we did gig it was mostly smallish pubs. For the last 9 it's taken off somewhat, with us doing small O2 academies, theatres and other independent venues. Gigs are booked for us by an agent who takes a cut (no one in the band wants the hassle of booking the gigs). We still don't gig loads - everyone in the band has day jobs and other musical projects, so it's very much a weekend warrior kind of thing. Advice for finding something I think is just networking - join Facebook groups, if there's a particular tribute you'd like to join follow them on social media, send a message offering your services as a dep. You never know what may come of it.

    Ah, ok. I’ve not used other IEMs so can’t compare but I find the NUX fine for my needs. I have the whole band in them (at various levels - I don’t usually need a lot of drums as I’m mostly standing right next to them!) and not noticed quality or distortion as an issue.

    Really enjoyed that 👍

    Setup for 80s covers band gigs in pubs to big halls (400). 2 recent gigs with it and it performed as well as expected (better than me 😂). My first big board and I'm pleased that the effort to route into a patchbay at the back helps operationally (19" audio rack panel with d-series cutouts, am waiting on the TRS module, hence the temp solution). Only two effects pedals! 😆. The rest is wireless bass receiver and IEM transmitter, battery, headphone amp and tuner. It can be totally wireless without the XLR FOH feeds (bass out, band IEM in) when I use a pair of low latency 5.8GHz instrument dongles to reach my amp. The pedal switcher has triggers that I use to control the presets on the MB301.

    By music I meant the rest of the band, although I did try it with recorded music as well. Its not a gain issue, its just something that seems to be there at the end of the note etc. I couldn't get rid of it no matter how I adjusted things. I must admit I went looking for it as a lot of users have reported this, and the unit I had was a return on Amazon so could have bene faulty. On The Nux website they do mention that sound quality isnt top notch, but they focused on usability or something like that.

    I just got one of these Fifteens and am wondering what pedal others use in front of it for when you want to switch from your "core" Fifteen tone to a more overdriven rocky sound? I have experimented with my EHX Bass Soul Food pedal and it sounds really thin and trebly (even with the treble knob on the BSF backed off fully). Not a nice sound at all. I need something with more body/beef/heft/[insert other bassy sounding phrase], so any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

    That’s not the set I have. I have the one with the rechargeable case. I didn’t want ‘another thing to plug in’. https://www.andertons.co.uk/nux-b-7psm-personal-monitoring-system-58ghz/
  18. Wombat
    I haven’t listened to music through them - apart from when they arrived I think I connected them to see if they ‘worked’. I don’t recall any. If I find the gig is getting loud and I turn them up i sometimes get a bit if I’m digging in. But it’s not something I’ve ’noticed’ (until you said) or that has bothered me.

    The BH250 was the first class-d head I owned and it's scary to think these have been around for over a decade now. Great little amps and featured packed for not much cost. Surprisingly loud as well for such a compact unit. Also make a great desktop recording interface and home practice amp with the headphone out. I've just bought another small class-d head or I would have jumped at such a bargain. Jezz is a top dude, buy with confidence! GLWTS.

    Thomann advertise them as 2.4 but that might be incorrect.
  22. kiat started following MXR Bass Synth : sharing custom presets, experiences, tips, settings, ...
  23. kiat
    This is what I've found so far after a couple of weeks with it and two gigs with an 80s+ covers band. Also maybe 🙏 BCers will share custom presets (like Ian Martin Allison 😜) that match bass sounds on our favourite and gigging songs?[1] Plusses: * fantastic giggable presets (though I'm not yet a fan of 6 or 7) * highly configurable * intuitive controls (saving personal customisations to a preset) * when adjusting a preset (whether you meant to or not) that preset blinks, alerting you to a change * the footswitch to change presents works great, I configured a trigger on my pedal switcher to use it. Minuses/Drawbacks: * no functionality to save presets or settings off the pedal, eg to backup, share with other players or to clone another pedal. Bluetooth or USB-C will surely need to be added to the next version * the current position of the knobs has no relation to the just loaded preset, but may limit the available variation at that moment. I tend to set all the knobs to noon, prior to changing preset. * a slim, high pitched whine with my pedalboard gear (I'll be troubleshooting this today) [1] it'll be a challenge though, maybe a photo record of the knobs of the ordinary and secondary settings added to a description.

    Do you get any distortion? I had a set for a few days and while i thought they sounded ok, when i put music through them (virtual soundcheck using the XR18) i could hear a distortion on the music. Apparently this is a thing with these. Even Nux mention it. I never tried them in a loud environment to see if it was really noticeable, but it was at home.

    B7s are 5.8. Or if they are both I have the 5.8 version. I got them specifically as I’d been having problems with the Boss WL wireless I was using. I love them too but found that in a partly packed pub I couldn’t get 5 ft from the receiver.
  26. dave_bass5
    I use the Thomanns version of the MiPro 2.4 system and have never had an issue either. The only issue we have had recently was our XR18 was acting up, and i have a feeling this started when 2 of the band started using 5.8ghz wireless systems in close proximity to our external router. Ive always used 5.8 for the XR18 but at the last gig i switched it to 2.4 and it worked flawlessly. I wonder if the systems with the larger antenna are a bit more robust over those that have them internally like the Lekato MS-02 etc? Im also starting to wonder if 5 is now getting congested. I do scan networks at some venues and rarely find many operating (publicly) on 5.8, but i cant help feel that all those 5G phones in the audience could start interfering with the 5.8GHZ network. Could be way off the mark though.

    Yeah the input levels are more use for side chaining so like the noise gate example you can adjust the threshold relative to the device input rather than the noise gate block input level. Super handy for higher gain patches. It’s really fun for modulation though so when you dig in hard you can have parameters react differently. I set up some fun tape delays where digging in harder past a certain level would give more Wow and flutter etc the harder you played so the effects are a little more dynamic.

    For some reason I like sunburst much better on non-Fender instruments. To the extent that I'm tempted by this. Hmm.
