  1. JBL used to make a powered sub that would take a feed from an amplifier as well as from a mixer. Look for JBL EON Powersub G2. Whether one of those would be OK I am not sure. There is a filter inside for the subwoofer that ensures that it does not get a full range signal. JBL EON Powersub G2
  2. Correct. Zoom dropped a clanger there. Don't get me wrong its a great pedal, especially with a version of your Free/Bad Co patch on it (stolen from the B1 Four). Most of the stock patches are usable unlike the B1 Four.
  3. The Orchid Classic DI does both obs, DI and split to local amp.
  4. The app allows you to edit patches and adjust parameters of individual effects.
  5. There is a problem with Android. There are multiple manufacturers and the OS is controlled by another company (Google). So its like the wild west in terms of policing Android distribution. With iOS it is one stop manufacturer and OS provider so much less support needed. The platform is stable and reliable. I am not saying Apple are perfect but most of the Pro Audio software and DAWs are on Apple devices as they have prioritised audio visual performance. I have an Lenovo Android tablet which takes over 1 second to respond. That makes it unusable. Now where I will criticise Zoom is that the old PC editing software does not work on the B2 Four. On the plus side the effects are quieter and there are some really useful patches out of the box.
  6. Was that the one I sold? Like most semi acoustics now it does have the solid core, with two empty chambers either side. Incidently that is a Gotoh batterry box that I fitted as well as replacing the stock machine heads with Wilkinson's.
  7. I am the same, do I need another bass or more importantly how many more basses do I need?
  8. Although we left the stupidly left the EU in 2019, I believe that the UK is still part of Europe.
  9. There are several online look up tools and I have just checked and found that my dating was wrong. Mine is 2004-2005 model. This is probably the best Fender Dating
  10. Not ideal but put volume on the speakers at max and take the monitor out faders down to your desired level Or just take off all the knobs on the monitor speakers.
  11. If you look at my avatar, you will see my Fender Aerodyne. It is one of the first ones made in 2003. I love this bass. it just looks beautiful. I have often thought about buying the P version. It is in the image below alongside another bass that I sold. I love the clean lines, no pickguard, just the front mounted jack socket and three knobs. I have made two mods, the machine heads wree changed for Goton Res-o-LItes and the pickuos were changed to a pair of Di Marzios. I am not so keen on the later models, especially the ones with the Jazz type metal control plate. So browsing on G4M as you do, I found this: Apart from the colour of the fingerboard, I love the look. Is it worth a £150 punt?
  12. That is an LPF by any other name. So well placed it will cut the HF noise. What cable did I use? I suspect it was Tricone 2, that has 95% screening from memory. Spirit has close to 100% but I have never had any issues with Tricone2. Most of my cables are made using it.
  13. You need better cables then Phil. In saying that, it may be the output impedance of the Line 6 being much lower than a passive bass?
  14. Have you met my band? The singer was convinced we had a faulty cable causing feedback once!
  15. Thanks to everyone that has replied. Regarding mic/speaker placement, almost every gig I tell the band that they have the monitors in the wrong place, to cardioid and two hyper-cardioid mics. Try to tell them that the cardioid pattern is not flat but in fact more like and apple and the smoke starts coming out of their ears.
  16. I am actually subscribed to that channel but somehow missed that video. I think the centre fill speaker is meant to help although the height, on top of the subs, does not get through to the middle. However, as he says do the best you can and don't fret.
  17. How did you and your bass get that small?
  18. I am still getting used to my new toy but i tried the nearest approximations to your suggested sessions last night. I had my phones on and listened to myself ( I do not claim to be the best but I can sing on key) I even liked the sound of my own voice, unreal. The settings are subtle, at first you are not sure there is much going on, until you switch to just the dry signal. I always run with an HPF of about 100, but will try a higher -3dB point later. The AH CQ also has a male vocal preset and that really thickens up my voice. It does not make me a George Ezra or Rag n Bone man but it did help my Elvis impression. Thanks for your help it really is appreciated. On the subject of physical mixers, at Panasonic I had access to a number, often using the one below. I also had one of the DA7 desks, after Yamaha, one of the earliest digital desks but never really had the opportunity to use it in anger. At the time, the dynamics were superb from memory.
  19. Thanks, I also use an HB 5.8GHz, I forgot about that. I blame the EU!
  20. We have been rehearsing Tiger Feat and its not as simple as it sounds, Its quite hard according to one of our guitarists. Mud went up several notches in my estimation once I started to learn it.
  21. It does and my thought is that the Toe in on one cab is slightly different to the other so that any reflections do not add. Of course the other thing is to angle the cabs down slightly.
  22. LIke Phil I would investigate the PA further before buying a new bass cab. I would not rule it out and remember that the you may need a cab at some point. Post the make and model of the PA speakers and we could comment further. Rereading your original post, you have passive speakers. There is little real work going on as far as development of passive boxes and those that are out there in general will not do what you want. Also look at the amp. If the singer cut corners, and it sounds like he did, the amp just may not be up to it. Spotify tracks are compressed to hell and may sound better than a live performance. There will be limiters and protection circuits on the amp and they may affect the sound.
  23. I was running my CQ20 on Bluetooth and got dropouts, so changed my WiFi on the CQ to 5GHz rather than 2.4GHz. Has anyone run 5.8GHz IEMs or Mics alongside 5.8GHz WiFi? Our singer has just bought (without consultation) a Joyo/Legato system that is supposed to employ Channel Hopping to avoid clashes but I am curious/dubious so want to hear the experience of others.
