Some suggestions in here :

I would say the classic vintage flats are La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass.

We have a Mackie DL32R and iPhones/iPads. The only thing about the Mackie is that it doesn't support Android. I suppose the one thing I have different to the rest of the band is that my pre-amp (Microbass 3) has an aux input and headphone amp which allows direct mixing of my bass into the received monitor signal. I set up my monitor mix from the desk to have no bass in it, and then mix the bass in directly on the Microbass 3. The volume control on the Microbass only affects the volume of bass in the in-ears (doesn't affect FOH). Of course, I try to get everything right during sound check - but it makes the occasional mid-gig tweak a lot easier. Using the app is fine, but I find having a physical knob really convenient.

Yep really happy with my ZS10. I prefer them to SE215, which is the other ones I've tried.

You only live once. Get an upright 😀

Hope there's a positive outcome - but just to clarify, the missing amp is GSS's responsibility, not yours. They should send you a refund or a replacement.

I think generally you'll have to compromise - one piece of equipment can't be at two different volumes at the same time. Either it will be too loud on stage, or too quiet out front. That's why, if possible, it's better to have two independent systems (monitoring + FOH).

It's hard getting people to change, particularly if they've been doing things a certain way for years/decades. Push for the digital mixer, but remind them that in-ears don't have to be "everyone or no one". I use in-ears whenever I can - but not everyone in our band does; some still prefer floor monitors. Getting the new mixer and getting at least some people on in-ears is a step in the right direction. I sing the praises of in-ears whenever I can - it was others doing that which convinced me to give it a go in the first place. Become familiar with the mixer/app, so that when a bandmate asks a question, you know the answer and can show them what to do and how easy it is. This will give them confidence that it's all a good idea. Or perhaps at first you can control the singer's mix for them; then over time, introduce them to the app. Only once we've had a connection issue - everyone other than the bandleader was locked out of the app. In such a scenario, the mixer (Mackie) continues to use its current settings, so we were stuck for a bit with the monitor mix from the previous gig. The gig wasn't a disaster.

It's a bit odd when the chord is Bb7 to notate an A#.

I have a Cioks Adam under my (unmodified) Nano. I'd also be considering a Truetone CS6.

Don't let me put you off getting a wireless pack if that's what you want - but would a collar cable clip work?

Is the radiator in use? I wouldn't want to keep the instruments right above it.

I don't know - but some banjos are like that.

I don't have one, but sounds like the Polytune 3 can do this.

You could use the Boss in bypass mode followed by a separate mute pedal.

I'm not sure about this - he wants the tuner to always be on, with the footswitch toggling whether the signal to the amp is muted. However, using the Boss's bypass mode means that the output to the amp is always on, which is different. With that setup, pressing the footswitch will turn the tuner on/off but it will never mute the signal to the amp.

StroboStomp can do this - they call it "monitoring mode". Another approach is any tuner in conjunction with an (active) ABY pedal. Put amp on path A, tuner on path B; and then use 'Y' mode when playing, or just channel B to mute the amp.

I play in a 12-piece band and each instrument has a pad of about 325 arranged, multi-page, printed charts - so that's nearly 4000 charts! Myself, I know most of the charts off by heart - but they still all always come along in the van for any deps etc. We literally have a large wheeled trunk flightcase just for charts... And yes, we're in the process of moving to tablets.

Yes it does. I'm obviously biased, but yes I think it's classy 😎

I believe you also get more buyer protection this way, as you bought it online so statutory distance selling regulations apply.
