    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/

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I had quite a complex MIDI set-up in the 90s which was used both in the studio and live, but it was all controlled via a dedicated 8-port MIDI interface which avoided the need to use MIDI-thru chains and meant if one device was acting up it wouldn't affect any of the others. However this was in the days when MIDI connections were all 5-pin DIN so you only had to worry about one protocol for connecting everything. IMO the introduction of MIDI over USB is fine a couple of input devices connected directly to a computer, but makes pretty much everything else unnecessarily complicated, added to which USB connections simply aren't robust enough for gigging use.

    It's born for funk and rock music! Thanks to the ramp and 35 scale it manages to maintain a relatively low action and can be played also with a... "physical finge style"!

    I'm not saying 2.4Ghz doesn't work, there are 1000's of regular gigging musicians using systems on 2.4 and many rarely have an issue but when I was using 2.4 I was plagued with drop outs; I put it down to our desk being 2.4, everyone else in the band using 2.4 AND most of the club/pub systems had stuff running at 2.4. As soon as I changed to the 5.Ghz range (in fact the MiPro system) I got zero drop out, the downside is that the range is reduced but I've never had a problem as most stages are quite open with no major obstructions. As a side note, today I'm off to do a multiband 4 day theatre gig and the techs requested to know in advance who was using what radio/IEM gear and on what frequencies bands.

    Bump for Peggy, my biggest influence and a thoroughly decent chap. I’d also like to nominate Mick for Basschat librarian/archivist.

    I will try both options, and see which works, and report back. If both work, then that would be good news too. I must confess to being fascinated by midi when it first came out, and wanted nothing more than to connect up various devices. However, it is only now, 45 years later, that I have the opportunity to make it happen.

    Hi Al, I wouldn't worry about this, though as ever real world experience counts for a lot so I'd always respect anyone who has tried both. I think in your position you need to be looking for quality and practicality, you have great tops so don't cut corners with your sub(s). From the looks of your videos your band should make decent money so cost shouldn't be too much of an issue. I have a pair of Wharfedale EVP 15" subs. Old, heavy and reliable but they onle get used once a year on average. In smaller venues they are a liability, sonically and space wise. Last year I picked up a nearly new RCF 905 AS Mk3 and its rated output matches that of the pair of Wharfedales. I've done small outdoor festivals with those so that's as capable as I'll ever want to be. Indoors I don't think I'll ever need more. A mates soul/funk function band are going round with a pair of 2x8 FBT subs and they sound great so size isn't everything especially with that sort of music, which is close to that which you and I play. I'll add a second 905 probably if I see one going cheap but that will be for the look and the odd outdoor gig. I don't think I'll ever need it but is would give me the opportunity to run cardioid subs, if I ever get the space to set that up. I don't think you'll ever need it but you could run with a single decent 15" sub for quite a while and then judge if you need a second. Your tops are rated 133db and the AS905's are rated the same you could go to the RCF8003's which are rated 135db to match both your tops with a single cab but at the expense of a 43kg lift and an extra £500. That's the same as my Wharfedales and they are quite a carry, one of the main reasons I upgraded. So the only reason for going for 2x12's is to get the 'look' of a sub each side and a lighter carry. The look is important to a function band though. A pair of 12's is going to give you plenty of output but so is a 15 of the same quality. It's going to cost you more and may or may not be more convenient to transport. Basically I'm saying don't base your choice on speaker size. Look at the spec's but be very sceptical of them, the specs are advertising not technical measurements in most cases but they help within a brand for comparisons. Each brand exaggerates but by a fixed amount. Look at functionality, quality gear from the likes of RCF, FBT and Yamaha aren't going to let you down.

    https://ebay.us/m/5E9p3T "Handmade bass bass. New. Now you can not only tune a guitar but you can also tuna fish. Body of the guitar is handmade out of solid oak. Large mouth bass graphic. Glass eye. Constructed with all new parts including neck, strings, pickups, and knobs." $50,000 is a lot to pay for a pun.

    I can see the advantage of using the UMC1820 as a single device for all the audio inputs and outputs. However for MIDI control of the Roland surely it would be easiest to just use the USB connection direct to the computer?

    When I gigged in the 90’s I used a USA Stingray and Ampeg SVT CL amps. I thought it was perfect however on a visit to Ashdown HQ years back to try a few heads I used a house PBass and thought ong it’s awful why didn’t I bring my Ray ! After a spell of non playing and all my gear had been sold I got back into playing gigs in the 2015 onwards era and got a PBass and Ashdown ABM600 and I loved the sound. Then I got a Stingray virtually the same as my old one and didn’t like the sound at all, it was getting buried in the mix. I don’t know why a Ray worked for me in the 90’s as it was still rock against Marshall Valve amps but today I think the PBass is the perfect rock bass and just works and sounds very good. I tried a JBass but wanted it to sound like a PBass which it didn’t of course ! I have two basic PBass guitars for gigging both tuned Eb one is the Player II series and my backup is the 2025 Standard Indonesian built which is nice too. I don’t think I will play anything else now
