Well in my experience with rehearsal rooms, any amp i took to use with their cabs sounded pretty similar. I did obviously hear a difference, but the cab would colour the amp. It was only when i took my full rig did i get the sound i wanted and had at gigs.
-
Im my experience a head makes far less difference than a cab does. I love the BDDI (just brought another), but its often bemused me how its sold as 'just turn up anywhere and still have your sound' I get the statement, but dont think its that simple. If you are looking at the Sansamp, be aware that the Programable doesn't have the mid control. This mid control can be very useful in these situations.
-
And now the NUX has gone back. Back to the BDDI again. I just brought another v2. Exactly a year and 2 days after I last brought one😂

It seems fine on my M4 with external monitor, but not my M1 using the built in screen. -
Maybe this is by design, but ive just noticed that when I get to the bottom of a page, and click on next page button, the new page needs a bit of scrolling up to see the first few threads. Im on a MacBook Pro using Safari.

Recently ive been making use of Logic Pro's stem splitter (other programs/apps can also do this). My first point of call is usually Youtube to get and idea of how it goes. I get the track in to Logic, and then I separate the bass line from the rest of the track, and can then Solo it or mute it so I can play along with the track using my bass line.

This might sound silly but have you tried a smaller tip? Ive always gone for the largest in the past. Ram it in and it will stay put, only I find it doesn't quite go in as far as it should. When I went down a size I found the tip would go a bit further in to the ear canal, and the fit was more secure. it also meant the IEM could sit a bit more secure in the ear.
-
I do all my home practicing on headphones, and never noticed any noise with my WS90's.
-
I guess it’s down to trying it personally. All the systems you mention are probably used by others without issue, so it’s going to be a personal thing.
-
Christ, scam or not, why on earth would anyone even want that abomination 🤣
-
As mentioned already, the size and shape of that IEM can make or break the experience. The tips make a difference but a few of us have found the actual IEM to be to big and heavy or just not able to sit right. I use the same tips with my IE400’s that i did for my MEE M3’s, but a totally different experience.
-
Dont forget to factor in form factor. Some of these tend to stick out quite a bit and could be knocked. Ive had a few of those recommended and settled on the Legato WS-90. They are still quite large and cumbersome, but at least pivot. Some of the others mentioned here dont and look ugly when protruding from the bass (IMO)
-
Yep, i had the same experience. Started with the popular KZ’s but they were never comfortable and put me of using IEM’s for a while. Also settled on the Sennheiser’s after trying a few other brands. I have flat ears and most that i tried felt like they going to fall out, event though the seal itself was good.
-
There are a lot of differnt size/types of ear tip available on Amazon etc. It can take a few attempts to get the best fit, but it’s worth it in the end.

Good choice. I sold off a lot of basses when we hit lockdown, but still kept my 60's CV. Agree about the neck. Ive had my neck on quite a few basses since I got it, but these days it's happily at home on its original body. I do have a set of custom Wizard pups in it, and have changed the bridge as I wasn't a fan of the string spacing (20mm IIR, but prefer 19mm). Other than that, it's all original lol. I also had an original Sire 5 string Jazz, and that played well but was quite heavy.
-
Well the Laney has gone back and im really getting in to the NUX. Im surprised at how useful the IR part is.
-
We needed some slow songs, and ive played My girl for years, always gone down well. Stupidly I suggested this to my current band. Yeah, the bas line is simple, but ive never really taken notice of the brass and stings before. As im on keys I now have not learn as much of this as I can. Obviously I'll dumb it down as I cant play it all, but I really should have thought this through first.
-
Yeah, i did see your post, but i had to give it a try. I got some nice sounds out of it for my use, but compare to the NUX it sounded bland and flat.
-
Thanks. I love the Tonhammer + SVT810 combo. Very punchy.
-
Thanks (and for your other reply). I now have both at home and feel the NUX is going to stay. I cant see me going direct to house at the moment, but i do use headphones all the time at home. The NUX just feels warmer and rounder, even without the IR on. It has a kick i couldn’t get from the Laney. The Laney just seems a bit weak to me. The EQ is quite subtle. As you say, it’s probably a better front end for an amp. I also like the fact that the NUX is simple to use. Very much like my BDDI. The Laney is easy to use but i found i was messing about with the switched and Mid controls a bit too much. The NUX will stay.

Ive been left very cold by the expensive basses ive tried. Ive played a few Dingwalls and couldnt wait to get back to a Fender. Too sterile for me. Same with a very expensive bass that i cant remember its name, had about 100 knobs and switches and no soul.
-
Years ago i brought a MM Sub off a member here. It arrived the same day i got a Lakeland Duck Dunn (again). I took both to a gig and found the Sub was actually better for our older Motown stuff. In fact i used it for 2 out of 3 sets. I’ve always wanted to get another but still haven’t got around to it.

I struggle sometimes to make a Jazz bass work in a band setting. I play with a pick 99% of the time and I just find I can't sit in the mix as well as with my P bass. I still use a Jazz occasionaly, but it's a bit more work sometimes.
-
Yes, it does seem quite a bit more than the old version. quite surprised how expensive the Xvives are compared to the newer systems coming along. From experience (my singer) they aren't any more robust or less prone to drop outs (quite the opposite for the second bit).
-
These are the ones i have as backup, and my guitarist also has a set. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0B9W5S4N8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
