Another vote for Uptown Funk.
But for the love of dog, play it on a 5 string so it has the low end booty. Playing an octave up ruins it.
Runaway Baby is another great high energy tune from Mr Mars.
Dua Lipa is a great shout too.
We did uptown for a few years but we dropped it cos it kinda started killing the vibe. Don't regret it either. Just wasnt sitting well in our set.
I do play a 5 string L2500

Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance
Anything by George Ezra
Ed Sheeran
Etc etc etc
Shut up and dance is our opening tune. It's a bonafide floor filler

To put it bluntly, classics appeal to all ages. The newer you get, the bigger the risk of losing half your audience.
Couldn't agree more 👍👍👍

Specifically last ten years? A lot of the bigger songs by Bruno Mars and Last Gaga are from 2000-2010. I know, it feels like they're "new"....
Yeah mainly the last 10 yrs as the manager wants to bring in stuff from very recent and current chart stuff altho I'm not convinced it'll work too well. The average person at a wedding wants to hear all the floor fillers

Well folks
I'm in a 5 piece wedding band and we are all in our 30s and 40s and we're very busy and good at what we do.
We have a manager who doesn't be at any of the gigs.
Our set consists of all the big numbers you'd expect to hear at a wedding and songs that we know works.
There isn't much, if any, really modern stuff. Nothing form the last 10 years.
Our manager wants us to throw in at least 8 new songs from the last decade but we're not sure they'll really work.
What do ye all think when it comes to keeping the floor full at a wedding.
Does a lot of the modern (last 10 yrs) music work in that setting?
Many thanks
Derek

Hey folks
I'm thinking of buying the markbass cmd 102p for gigging with a 5 piece wedding band and a 3 piece pub band. I play a 5 string g&l l2500 tribute and I'll have FOH support on both gigs.
Will the combo sound nice and full for a stage monitor and will it handle the 5 string low end stuff pretty well?
Many thanks
Derek

No I hadn't thought of trying that. I've been reading up on it and it seems to suggest a ground issue

Hey folks
I've a lovely g&l l2500 tribute and she kicks donkey but there's a noticeable constant buzz when it's in passive mode and I can't figure it out.
Any ideas??
Cheers

There's definitely some overcomplication of a simple concept happening in this thread.
Yes it's fine to do what you're doing
Yes there's a possibility the signals will be slightly out of phase with one another
No it's not a problem since you're not mixing the two signals together
I frequently split sources across more than one channel to process them differently for FOH and mons - even when I'm mixing mons (which is where I usually am) I'll frequently split certain channels to be treated differently in wedges vs IEMs, or for different people's mixes. What you're doing is absolutely fine and shouldn't cause you any issues. I know someone's mentioned splitting it digitally within the desk, which is how I usually do it for my needs, but that takes away your ability to process it separately from stage, so what you're doing now is absolutely the right way to achieve the result you're going for.Thanks a million mate.

TimR, you've nailed it pretty much and you've understood it.
It's very simple really. I want EQ control at my feet of my in ear bass tone.
I don't care what the engineer does to it out front. That's his business.
My question was, if I'm pulling a bass signal from one di into another di, will I have a phase issue.
So, the 1st di goes straight to FOH (engineer has control of everything on that channel and i get full band mix back except the bass channel).
The 2nd di then takes the link signal from the 1st di and runs back to a different channel which doesn't go to FOH but does get sent back to me as part of the band mix but, and crucially, I have EQ control at my feet of that bass channel specifically just so I can get a nice bass tone in my ears and have a nice band mix behind it.
Is that any clearer. It's a very simple setup.
1 hour ago, TimR said:Two DIs to desk. One for in-ears mix and one for the desk.
He wants the first mixed with the band and sent to his in-ears as it has local eq applied.
The second is DI from bass so engineer can do whatever he wants with it.
Thank god someone gets it

Yeah it's kinda what I'm asking.
What happened was, I explained my setup to a sound engineer and he said I shouldn't run it that way cos I'll get phase problems. I can't see any issue and can't hear anything wrong so I wanted to ask the question in a dedicated bass forum like here.
The main concern is that I'm taking the signal for the in ears DI from the DI for the FOH.
I think it's OK but just wanted to check
-
It's basically so I can adjust on the fly cos I've a boss EQ pedal in the DI for my in ears.

I'll give it a shot mate thanks

I don't get both in my in ears. I only get channel 9 and I can EQ it from the pedal and then channel 10 goes out front but not back to me. Just wondering would there be a phase problem considering I'm pulling the signal for channel 9 from the DI for channel 10
-
Hey folks
So here's how I run my setup.
I run a line from my bass to a boss tu3 tuner into an active DI that goes straight to desk on channel 10 and out the front, then, I take the link connection from that DI and run it into a boss EQ pedal and then into a radial sb1 active DI and into channel 9 on the desk and that doesn't go out front.
I get an aux feed back to myself for in ears.
So, channel 10 is for FOH and is mixed and sent out. No issues.
Channel 9 is not sent out front but is mixed and EQ'd and sent back to me.
So, I have the whole band mix in my ears and then I can EQ my own bass on the fly with boss EQ pedal and it won't affect FOH cos it's on channel 9.
Am I causing a phase issue if I'm pulling the link from one DI into another from the same source (bass guitar)??
Cheers

Hey
What kind of figure would it be shipped to Ireland?

Definitely wouldn't ship?

Cheers for the info. Seeing as you're already using a couple of Boss pedals I'd add the Boss BC-1X Compressor and the Boss LMB-3 Limiter to your list. Both simple to use, great sounding pedals that are widely available and, most importantly, both sound great. The LMB-3 is actually my go-to pedal that I alluded to above. It's a FET based design so very quick in its action, but is very clean and adds a pleasing punchy quality to your bass tone that I haven't been able to get from any other compressor, the only one that got close was the SS Bus setting on the Darkglass Hyper Luminal. Just don't use the Enhance control on it unless you want additional hiss and a weird synthetic artificial sounding high end. But other than that it's possibly the most underrated compressor pedal out there, it's very simple to use and just sounds great. You can pick them up used for very little money.
The Boss BC-1X is a newer digital multi-band compressor with a simple 4 control layout and very useful LED metering. It's arguably a more transparent sound and has a bit more apparent low end that the LMB-3 (not that the LMB-3 sucks the lows out but more likely the band that deals with the lows on the BC-1X is causing the lows to be compressed separately which makes them sound a little 'bigger') probably a bit more of a studio sound, for want of a nebulous description. It costs a bit more than the LMB-3 but still comes in at well under £200 new.
So of these 2, go for the LMB-3 if you want a big, bold punchy bass tone, and go for the BC-1X if you want more of a studio style compression.
Interesting that you go with the lmb 3. I had looked at it and said no because of the enhance knob. You say turn it off and no problem?

I've owned most of the compressors mentioned above and the Keeley Compressor Pro is my favourite.
For me, I think the keeley pro is just that little too big. A bit like the markbass comp. I'd love to have the real estate but I'm in and out of different size venues every weekend and I need to be as compact as possible. The keeley bassist looks great tho
