    My wife’s U4 had to be exchanged within a month or so IIR. She has had the replacement quite a while now and it’s been fine.

    First thing that comes to mind is the Helix Stomp. I know there are many other options out these but ive used the Stomp for both bass and keys (not at the same time or even in the same band), and it worked well. Especially good when using the midi function to change Stomp patches with keyboard patches. If you set up a chain of blocks covering the different effects and have them turned off, you can just enable them rather than needing to scroll through anything. This is how the cheaper multi FX like the Valeton's work.

    Can you not do it yourself in whatever app you are using, or do you mean he doesn’t want it done?

    Good to hear the MS-02 is up to gigs. I got my singer a set for Christmas. When we set them up at home with the XR18 in stereo, running a virtual soundcheck from the recoding of the last gig, she said ‘and whats the difference from my U4?’ 🙄 We did notice a bit of cutting out as she was handling it. Not signal as such, it seemed the output jack was a bit cutting out. We were using headphones with a chunky jack so i put it down to that.

    Yep, thats why I already do. Everyone in the band has our network(s) already set in their phones (not that most use it).

    Yeah, tell me about it. I have 30mins of video from a gig there and not once does ‘Thomas’ look up. In fact he spends 95% of any gig sideways on looking at his bloody amp, like it’s going to run away of something. To be fair though, that shot was taken at sound check so we were just setting things up.

    He plays like him…..😇

    Ah, i didn’t notice that. That’s actually photoshoped as the guitarist behind is always complaining no ever see’s his face 🤣

    By small, i mean a 6 piece band on (or off) a stage that holds 3 at the most 🤣

    To be fair the issues have been on very small stages. Larger stages have always been fine. First time it happened (only talking about the XR18, nothing else has issues) the bass players 5.8 reciever on his amp was maybe 6ft from the router if that, which was stuck on the floor. We had occasionally freezes but nothing too drastic. The next couple of times were when my singer had her 5.8 wireless mic receiver plugged directly in to the XR18. This was maybe a foot from the router. Too close i know but it was tight on the stage. Each time we turned off her recorder we had more luck, and when we got the bass player to run off his system we got full control back. I have now got workarounds for this, inc moving the router as far away as possible from the mixer and bass player, and also using 2.4ghz. So far it’s all working as it used to before the shift to 5.8. We have played the small venues a couple of times since going to 2.4, an even though the router is still on the floor close to the bass amp its been fine.

    For two gigs i went to 6E for our XR18 and that was really smooth. No lag and certainly no congestion. It just wasn’t very convenient as i was using my home router. Still thinking about going that route though if we get any more issues. At the moment 2.4ghz is working better for us.
  12. dave_bass5
    Yeah, I was not clear with what I was trying to got say. Worded it wrong and way off the mark lol, but I am noticing more issues with 5.8 than I did a few years ago, at least at gigs we do regularly.
  13. dave_bass5
    No, not the same freq, I was just pointing out that things are shifting away from 2.4ghz and 5.8 is getting more crowded now. I do appreciate even 5G works in the 2.4Ghz range.
  14. dave_bass5
    im starting got think 5.8GHZ is getting too busy these days. At a few recent gigs ive scanned the networks and found hardly any public wifi networks broadcasting on 5.8, and only a few on 2.4, but have had to switch back to 2.4 for our XR18 to work smoothly. I guess with everyone now using 5G on their phones maybe this end of the freq band is filling up. We have had more issues with our XR18 since more band members have started using 5.8Ghz devices (mainly on smaller stages).
  15. dave_bass5
    Nice one. Very much look forward to hearing your thoughts.
  16. dave_bass5
    Been looking at this myself over Christmas. Looks very good value for money and im due for a non Fender type bass (yeah, i know who invented the Stingray). I love narrow string spacing on a 5 so it seems perfect-ish.
  17. dave_bass5
    I only use reviews to find out features really, and don’t go by general recommendation (especially as i want it for bass and he is a guitarist), but as I already had the Gp-5 and now the GP-50, based on its features, Its nice to see others also thinking the same. i was going to keep the GP-5 as a back up but i really can’t see me needing it anymore, especially as i also got the Sonicake pocket master.
  18. dave_bass5
    Cheers. Watched it earlier. Good review. Totally agree 100% with everything he said.

    Got a late one from my wife yesterday. A pair of Adam DV3 monitors. Been after iloud micro's for ages, but then saw these earlier in the year. Blown away by the sound, and the love lol.

    YouTube video from last year 😎

    Must admit i thought the same. Ive never, ever, come across a modern device that wasn't using a standard jack. Certainly not IEM stuff.
  22. dave_bass5
    My singer has this one (if you’re talking about the KZ type), although she doesn’t use those IEM’s anymore. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07ZQCBYXS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
  23. dave_bass5
    Yeah, im wondering if the distortion wouldn't be noticed with a live band, especially on a smaller stage.
  24. dave_bass5
    By music I meant the rest of the band, although I did try it with recorded music as well. Its not a gain issue, its just something that seems to be there at the end of the note etc. I couldn't get rid of it no matter how I adjusted things. I must admit I went looking for it as a lot of users have reported this, and the unit I had was a return on Amazon so could have bene faulty. On The Nux website they do mention that sound quality isnt top notch, but they focused on usability or something like that.
  25. dave_bass5
    Do you get any distortion? I had a set for a few days and while i thought they sounded ok, when i put music through them (virtual soundcheck using the XR18) i could hear a distortion on the music. Apparently this is a thing with these. Even Nux mention it. I never tried them in a loud environment to see if it was really noticeable, but it was at home.
