The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2022 - Sunday 9th October
Woodinblack replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
Yeh - from my photos he seems to have started that in 2014 and its just been a bit longer each year -
I dont' know what desk you have now, you have been through a few - on my X18 I just turn the aux output for my IEMs down, so the same thing as that.
-
Not really, no. Yes, you can get interference although it tends to knock the channel out rather than distort the sound. If your bass is clipping it is too loud for something, Either for your headphones (don't know what you are using) or too loud as an input somewhere - maybe turn your iem output on the mixer down and the xvive volume up?. Wireless is fine at dealing with the whole signal, I don't get any clipping anywhere. Also if it was fine at the soundcheck and not with the band, I assume there was a volume difference?
-
Not sure what the Eh? was about - Digital or analogue, the signal goes out, and everything on the same frequency that can handle its protocol receives it. However, if you want to encrypt to one device, you either have to have set it with some unique code in manufacture or setup, or have a pairing time, where you can press a button on something to set the code (but then you can press the button on multiple things at the same time to get round that), or the receiver also needs to be able to communicate back to provide a code to the transmitter (so both need to be transceivers, so more expensive). I am sure my XVives talk to multiple receivers (I can check, I have 1 tx and 2 rx)
-
Indeed - so if you need to synchronize with something it gets more expensive as you need a transmitter and receiver on both ends. The cheaper something is, the less likely it is.
-
Its radio - unless its encrypted you can have as many recievers as you like recieving the same mix from the same transmitter, as long as they are on the same frequency (ie, channel)
-
neither the Euro 5LX or Euro 6LX are listed as having a split coil option. I see mention of people having that put in, but not from the factory.
-
I got one too, was looking for something similar so see if that fits the bill
-
Thanks - will check it out, do you have any blockers or anything on your safari?
-
Just tried it on mine. the back beat does vibrate to the aux in and the aux level doesn't appear to be affected in any way by whether or not the bass or output are plugged in and/or playing.
-
I can try it on mine - I mean if you plug the aux in does it vibrate, as I think it should, but now of course I have said that I can't remember if it does. Trying to establish if the vibratey thing is working or just the connection to it stopped
-
Does the sound go through it still? Does it work with the aux in?
-
As mentioned in a couple of other posts, but here in the pinned section, @Norm passed away suddenly yesterday morning. 25/02/23. He was a regular to the SW Bass bashes and other events in this area and will be greatly missed by those of us who met him.

Oh no., that is terrible news. -
Compact budget PA set-up to put bass through (without back-line).
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
Sadly (well, not too sadly) the sax is wireless, so he dances around with it like mad. It tends to not be when he is playing that it feeds back, it is when he is singing and holding the sax to the side. Irritatingly he has recently started doing that. -
Just coming to post this, looks interesting, although as I am still not really using the b1 four and b3n probably best I don't get one at the moment! but the XLR is back, seems to be concentration on the DI aspects

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Woodinblack replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I would go for two stacked volumes I think and one tone. Failing that 2 volumes, I don't think I have ever knowingly used a tone knob -
I believe they are on the same list as us at GaggleFest in July so will see them then, hoping we don't have to run like last time!

Is there any excuse for this??

I think the refinishing is done well -

Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
I don't yet put the bass through the PA, but a few weeks ago when practicing I forgot my power leads, and it turned out I only had two mains leads on me. As is the way in our band, I am the guy with spares, so noone other than me had any, so couldn't power my amp or pedal board. So with 2 all I could power was the PA and the Mixer, so rather than go home and get more I decided as it was just a practice I would go bass->desk and desk to Evox. Wasn't looking forward to that. Turns out, apart from missing the echos and stuff I needed for some songs, I didn't really miss the amp at all. I think for future practices I will save myself the hassle of dragging my bass amp (hardly a hassle there!) or my bass speaker, I will just take the PA and maybe my B1Four with approximations of effects I need, so bass, mic, mic stand, Evox and B1Four. That would be so little effort compared to normal. and then I may need to start reconsidering why I take a bass amp to gigs - maybe the next gig I will take the bass amp and stuff, and set it up but just go through the PA and see if it messes stuff up. If I had a 2nd Evox, I would certainly do it. -

For me the evox has been pretty transformational. It is heavy, much heavier than the altos, but not too surprising, it is in a wooden box and has poles etc, whereas the Alto is a plastic box that is just one speaker and a little horn thing. However, the additional clarity (and volume) it has given to the sound has been great - I realise at this point I am not comparing like for like, but I am not able, or willing to just go out and buy the latest expensive things, and also I am the one that stores them and they are pushing the room I have. I have my doubts about the size of the treble drivers and the frequencies they do, but I am happy with my (second hand and < £500) purchase. I don't care about monitoring - I bought the PA, I bring and setup the PA, I use in-ears to listen, it sounds great to me, the drummer also uses in ears. The old guitarist occasionaly complained he couldn't hear much to which I told him many times he was welcome to either get in ears or buy himself a monitor, there is an output ready for it, but it is not something I need, want to buy or store, so of course nothing happened. The singer used to have a monitor which broke and was never replaced. He seems happy enough with the evox. The new guitarist was surprised at the lack of monitor, but said he had no problem at our first gig. -

these were my changes to get rid of feedback, which largely worked. Probably more the noise gates. And also just put a notch on the sax at the feedback frequency that helped a lot -

Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
It was a big problem with the altos, it is still a problem but not as much. our singer is not very clear (I am clear enough and so is the drummer), and we are always getting complaints that we can't hear him or the sax. The Evox has made it a ton better but we still have problems, and just going louder goes to feedback, especially the sax, which is ok, I can mute that when he is not using it, but he uses it a lot. Last gig I spent some time in practice putting gates on him and compressors and the last gig he was as clear as anything, but he wasn't keen that he had a harder time talking (due to the gates). Its a work in progress. I wish we had another evox 8, but haven't got the money for that and they have all gone up. -

Mine was going for 7 years with a pair of Alto 312s and then backed up by a behringer 12" sub when we were ouside. Now we have the RCF Evox 8 instead of one of them. Never had a problem with bass, always a problem with vocals.
