    Not debating that palm muting is a useful technique - I use it on plenty of material. It's being forced to use it all the time with the FI even when not appropriate to the song we're playing, just to avoid the FI pedal farting/glitching all over the place that I've an issue with.
  2. Al Krow
    Haha ok. I prefer pedals that don't make you change your technique to make them work but, instead, work with you. But maybe that's just me?
  3. Al Krow
    Muting makes you a better bass player? Even when it's not appropriate for the particular bass line you're playing? Don't follow.

    "Been using the Xvive U4 for a little while and it's been really good" - good to come across another encouraging recommendation for the Xvive U4s. Seems like most folk who've tried them as a decent quality affordable wireless option are pretty happy with them.

    Raise the pup height at just the G string end so it's a little closer to the G string than the E string.

    I've a similar issue with my KZ 10s - I think these tips have been recommended on this thread and I'm about to try them out: COMPLY T-400 Sports Isolation Earbud Tips
  7. Al Krow
    Phil are you using the plastic/rubber tips provided with the KZ 10s or have tried other tips with them?
  8. Al Krow
    Yes, mine has single and dual coil pull/push switch. I get a really nice crisp tone / greater clarity in single coil mode. Just checked and as @cetera said, it did indeed come loaded with EMG 40TWs.

    Thanks for that and helpful to know. But unfortunately we're limited to 1/4" jack sockets for our monitor outs from our desk.
  10. Al Krow
    Apologies if this question has been dealt with before, but with a Behringer P2 would folk recommend getting: (i) XLR to 1/4" jack lead to connect the P2 to the desk in preference over a normal guitar cable, or doesn't it matter much? (ii) Does the 1/4" jack need to be TRS?
  11. Al Krow
    Ah ok. I mean fair enough he's got to do what he thinks best commercially. But seems like a relatively minor tweak to the existing model is what's going to be on offer and, in particular no glitch-fix or better UI?
  12. Al Krow
    Another +1 for the HB Iso Pros. Compact and good value.
  13. Al Krow
    You've always been a chip off the old block.
  14. Al Krow
    Sounds great! OLED screen plus if it's no longer limited by chip storage to allow for later software updates from you Peter, that would actually nail it for me! Colour me super interested!
  15. Al Krow
    Sounds exciting! If you can also get your "glitch-fix" encoded at the same time and maybe a more capable visual user interface (something as basic as the Boss RC5?), that would be a really cool upgrade.

    I've used an NXT 212 and absolutely loved it. Actually gone as far as using my bass rig to put vocals and keys through, as well as bass, at a couple of venues where we had limited space (the 212 slots nicely below the keys!); have a listen for yourselves and see what you think: LA Mixtrax (@lamixtrax) (Shameless plug! - I've actually got mine it in the FS currently, although definitely in two minds about selling it and they're apparently pretty hard to get hold of new in the UK at the moment).

    Your contradiction is neatly resolved in the form of a BB 2005 (providing you don't also hate 5 string basses, haha!)
  18. Al Krow
    "Unfortunately" Yamaha BBs are very notorious for being PJs...you may have stumbled on the wrong thread 😅

    Aww buddy, I can tell you after one gig (although we do have another couple coming up, this weekend, but it will be my turn to take the PA so the 912As) - if you're happy to pay the extra and you feel vocals are important to your band's sound (and, frankly our singers are literally front and centre of both my covers bands), then just go for the RCF 732As. They're excellent.
  20. Al Krow
    None at Bass Direct? Just checked - they've one in stock

    It's interesting how obvious it is, right, even via a compressed Instagram upload? In terms of recording: was my usual set up of Rode Stereo Mic --> Sony a6300 (with the internal camera recording levels cut to avoid distortion). The recording was done via my desk with all settings identical - I simply panned left or right. I was particularly interested in how the speakers handled vocals and I think that particular song illustrates it very well. I only recorded that one song unfortunately and the 732A PA is now in the possession of our lead vox. We did use at a gig last night for, bass, keys and 2 vox. It was very good. My conclusion from this past year (with some very helpful input indeed on this thread, thank you!) is that in terms of relatively compact PA set-ups, with no bass line or subs: RCF310A (relatively budget) --> RCF 912A = big improvement in bass handling --> RCF 732A = further significant improvement in vocals / mids (but looking at double the price of the 310As)
  22. Al Krow
    Yes, that sounds right! Thanks.
  23. Al Krow
    I managed to source a pair of new 732A Mk4s for our band at a reasonable price with the assitance of @Pirellithecat, so I owe him an A/B comparison of my 912A vs the 732A. The 732A are about 40% dearer, but as @EBS_freak mentioned, the 3" horn provides a significant step up for vocals and mids over the 1" horn on the 912A in terms of articulation and power. If you can afford the extra then I think it's going to be well worth it. Link to a sound test comparison 912A vs 732A Mk4
  24. Al Krow
    +1^^ Still loving mine.
  25. Al Krow
    Aww mate, taking one for the team again. You're a legend.
