they are both -3dB

The only thing I noticed on the evox was the boom, which I assume was the stage - I guess I am normally on flagstone floors! I also think it might have sounded better off the stage as the mid response doesn't really seem to be as strong much below or above the pole height, whereas side to side is quite a lot better (until you get to 90 degrees off axis and then it plummets). The RCFs were certainly better at highs I think, but I would have expected them to be a lot better anyway

No, I don't adjust pan, but they seem useful. I agree, that themselves they aren't worth that much although for me, if I was in the market for a new mixer, the price difference between the 12 and 18 makes the 18 a no brainer, but thats because the 12 channels and no wifi wouldn't work for me. But then it is an easy decision as Im not in the market!

I think the smart knobs seem like a good idea, touch a channel then you have gain, level and pan on knobs rather than the touch screen, with a master volume, whats not to like?

Does look nicer in black, but changing that body would move the front strap peg from the 12th fret to the 15th and I suspect the head to the floor (as well as looking worse!)

For me (in person at the event) - I liked the 745 and the Evox system equally (which is good as the evox was mine) - the 745 had more top top, the evox had more high middle, but they are not quite the same. The evox had more bass boom during the wishbone ash track, which I willl put down to the wooden stage as I hadn't heard that before. I prefered the evox on the first track, probably due to the vocals (which is a shame as that is nothing like ours), I thing the 745 sounded a bit better in the WA track because of the lack of boom. The 10" fell apart during the WA track because as soon as the bass kicked in you couldn't hear the guitars at all. Overall I was pretty happy in that I didn't feel (in person) the evox were lacking so my chase for a PA system is pretty well at an end (and I wouldn't want to carry the 745s in the first place!)

No-one bumps for something being sold. When you change the title to sold (which is what you should do if you are following the rules), it gets bumped to the top of the list as something has happened to the post - its how the forum works. No, the real annoyance is when people don't mark their item as sold.

Fraid not, it is tied to groups!

I am guessing you have got to the limit of your photo allowance. Hang on, I am an admin, I don't need to guess, "you have used 390.6 MB of 390.63 MB allowance", so yes.

Had a great day, nice to catch up with people and talk to a load of new people. Played too many basses, want too many other things now! But we are so hardcore that even the announcements needed a huge PA support!

Undoubtedly i would expect it to be better, but I have used the x18 at many hundreds of gigs over the last 7 years, its been thrown around, stood on, had drinks drop on it and been yanked around by its cables, and in that time hasn't missed a beat once, so I trust it. If I had nothing now I would probably get the CQ18, but there is nothing that I would really gain from it at the moment, and who needs better mic preamps when your singer sounds muffled at source!

That to me says to turn up, the fact that they thought they could try!

4 busses is just that - you put as much of which channels you want on each bus, whether it is one for vox, they aren't exclusive, although they can if you want. Oh I don't know - I just know that using a stereo headphone output for anything other than headphones is not a great thing.

Yeh, that seems quite a drop off for less than a quarter of the price of the 18.

The output impedance and level of a headphone output is very different from an Aux output. For me the price difference between the CQ12 and 18 doesn't seem enough. I mean they are too expensive for me (which is a shame, that 18 does look nice, but the x18 is still working fine at every gig) but if I had the money for the 12, I think I would push it up to the 18.

Hey if he is going to put a duvet cover on himself for a tenner, imagine what he would do for £20!

How do you come to that conclusion? Seems the least likely reason. It says on the specs quite clearly it does. The only thing it is missing from the others is the wireless. the CQ12T - the mixer of the beast!

Yeh, would be ok if they did it in a 5 / 15!

The Gibson EB3 I had sounded just like a thunderbird, which isn't really surprising as it had the thunderbird pickups in the thunderbird position.

Certainly would be innovative

Sound great - they seem to be priceless on their store though!

Sounds good - what are the pickups? I still keep wanting multicoil pickups but never getting round to it!

What are the multicoil pickups like?

No, the tone is very different (between mine anyway), but the same person playing two basses sounds pretty similar overall.
