    But a question - the service is live streamed on YouTube, but unless the wick is turned up very high, the bass doesn’t come through, even though it’s fine in the venue through the stage setup.  (I have listened through the TV sound box, and my bass amp).  Has anyone else found this?

    Stage setup is (something like) bass->DI->desk mic preamp->mixer->foldback/IEMs. Assuming a digital mixer then it is likely to have a decent DAC, and the mixer may be sending you a bass-heavy monitor mix which differs from the front of house mix (and/or you may have your bass amp as an additional monitor). So that contributes to a fine venue sound.

    As @Richard R says above, YouTube compresses heavily and audio degrades with reduced video quality. Also the DAC and headphone amp of the average computer are pretty basic which further affects the audio. Unfortunately most parishioners won't have a Focusrite or similar DAW with a decent set of cans :(

    Certainly worth checking with the sound team and seeing what they can do with EQ to help you in the mix :)

    On another note, had my first recorded session (four songs) at church last night - look forward to hearing the results. Due to some last minute key changes I was delving lower on the 5-string than normal and that typically does not come through well on the livestream. And having practiced all the songs in faster/upbeat mode they were performed as slow/quiet...still, good to challenge the timings and note feel. And when asked to sit out for the first two verses I simply play them but with the tuner mute on to keep in the game!

  2. If you are tuning B E A D then I do not see the problem, although the nut slots are likely to be too small as they will be cut for E A D G gauges. You will probably need to adjust the truss rod to account for a different string tension. 

    A cheap way to try us buy a single B string and give it a go.

  5. An excellent head, used mine through 1x15s, 2x10s and the F112 and loved it each time. Really easy to dial-in a great range of tones on-the-fly in a gig.

    The locking lead is shipped with it, but, it is hard-wired to a US plug. Never had problems with my standard UK kettle lead which is a nice snug fit.

    GLWTS, bargain price!

    20200905_133711.thumb.jpg.aa0e1ebfb843df537bf7e0effe492808.jpg

    An outstanding one-cab solution, beautifully built last year by Guy at Tricky Audio (my second greenboy cab from him): with Eminence Kappalite LF neodymium 12", a 5" FaitalPro midrange driver, and the highs are widely dispersed by a B&C horn with a Faital Pro 1" compression driver bolted on.

    Read Ed Friedland's glowing review here:

    Dimensions:

    51 x 41 x 41 cm

    weight 17kg , with a very strong recessed handle for one-handed carrying.

    Gutted to have to put this up for sale but needs must! Fantastic cab that has served me very well for many styles (and basses).

    Collection only for now but I'll see if I can source a box. My feedback link is here:
