BTW The Barefaced Midget is 48 x 34 x 34 cm at 9kg and 8 Ohms. The GRBass 208 is W29 x D31.5 x H57.5 cm at 11.2kg and 4Ohms. OTOH as you know, I use (wireless) IEM and often no backline. But if your BL is against IEM and won't let you change the desk then how how something like a Rolls Personal monitor (PM351) whereby you can have your own IEMs and control the mix of your bass and the feed from the mixer in.

I have a BF Midget which is really light. I also have a GRBass 208 (2 x 8" with tweeter) - which is 4Ohm. You are welcome to try either or both out - but not at the same time as I need to use one of them. We can meet up as before.

It is a GR Bass GR208 4Ohm with switchable tweeter. It was not the Carbon Fibre or the new Natural fibre, but does not seem to be the same as the Wood 208 https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/gr-208/ as the handle on mine is on the top. But I'd guess that it is very similar to this model. I was impressed when I tried it at Promenade Music, especially the full sound for such a configuration. I got a Roqsolid cover for it, and I gig with it, when I use a backline. But I usually DI, even with a backline, so I am not a) relying to power the cab out b) not making the band stage overly loud. I am very happy if you want to meet up and I can let you have it for an extended go in your own environment.

Saturday is better for me, as I work in cycle shop on a Sunday. This was my first bass bash, so was not sure what to expect. Still fun it was. Thanks to all, both seen and unseen who made everything happen.

I hope to come through too. I will bring my Darkglass Exponent 500 and Vox Starstream Artist short-scale if any is interested. Vince

GK Plex as it has switchable Compression, Distortion/Grit, and there are a number of models the various settings. It has a tuner, and will run off my USB Power Bank with appropriate ZipCord USB to 9V cable.

I made my own custom fit IEMs. The isolation is considerably better than standard in-ear buds. I made them with the Monoprice 'phones, with the foam/gel part removed and custom fitted into the ear moulds. The Monoprice units were bass-heavy, and that's fine for me. I actually have a spare set of the Monoprice units, just in case. Sometimes, I just put in the ear moulds, it helps reduce the sound levels. In terms of the IEM audio mix, I find that the bass feed has to be loud enough without it causing the drivers in the buds to distort, so some time spent in getting the mix from the desk into my feed, more by reducing other inputs rather than turning stuff up. I also have to factor in my hearing and the effects of my age on my ear's frequency responses. So it is good not to share my AUX mix with anyone else.

In one band, we've used Presonus AIR - both a pair of tops, and an AIR15s sub. No issues at all. The sub was bought with a castors kit, which is useful. In the other band, one member has Alto tops and I added a DB Technolgoies SUB12 sub, as I played small venues with just my GK Plex DI and IEMs and the drummer used a e-kit. The DBT SUB12 sub is not as large, heavy, costly or as powerful as the AIR15s. I note that Presonus have been acquired by Fender.

Yes I'm interested. Clapham is not too far away for me. Often playing gigs in Ingleton, Bentham and maybe returning to Settle. I am willing to bring my Darkglass Exponent 500 to see if anyone is interested. Note that with B4RN providing the 1Gbps symmetric connection - you could see if anyone can do some live streaming to those more out of reach areas such as London!

It might also be a limitation of the number of concurrent devices able to connect. The Soundcraft ui24r has a limit of 10. When I set up the external WiFi router (Access Point) then I set the DHCP Scope to limit the range to 10 devices. I think that the internal WiFi Access Point on the Behringer X Air is limited to 4 devices.

I produce a Hook Up sheet - a diagram (with colour coding) identifying whose cable goes in where. Still people get it wrong - ie plugging their AUX XLR cable into the wrong AUX output (ie channel AUX 2 rather than AUX 3) then wondering why their monitor mix is all wrong. I've previously used coloured stickers (small 4mm) on the desk next to the sockets to help. Though coloured stuff is hard to see in most gig situations due to the lack of lighting or "mood" lighting.

Great to see you making (rapid in my experience) progress. As people change their instruments (DIs, mics, etc.) then it changes gain structure usually. There ought to be a change control process (that's my IT career speaking). Getting everything into the FoH helps when playing larger gigs, or gigs where the FoH is provided (eg in our area Ruskins, Kendal). On stage set up largely stays the same.

It is the rack-sized unit FBQ2496 or FBQ1000 - it's been a long time since they've seen daylight!

If you want to try a Behringer Feedback Destroyer - I have one that I could sell.

You are looking good. Glad to see that you have already made some positive changes.
