Westone AM Pro 30 Triple-Driver Universal Ambient-Port 78538 B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

hi. im using the westone AMpro

Hi folks. I'm a bit stumped and I'm hoping for some help. So here's the story. I'm a bass player in a 5 piece wedding band. We're all on in ears and we're using the Allen & heath qu you app for individual monitor mixes. I'm using a G&L tribute 5 string and a US Musicman stingray 5 into a boss tuner and then into a LA Audio DI box straight to the desk and then aux out back to me for in ears and all controlled by the qu you app and I've a fischer in amp stick that I plug my headphones into. It's a very handy little setup. Now, the issue I'm having is with my bass guitar in my mix. I can mix everyone else in lovely (when I say "mix" I mean just levels as the qu you system EQ's everything when you adjust it) but when it comes to my bass it sounds like it's muffled or far away or else I have to turn everyone down so much so as I can stand out. Not ideal at all. What am I doing wrong or what ideas can you give me to try so that I can get my bass to stand out in the mix the way I feel it should without sacrificing the overall band mix. I was contemplating using an ampeg scr di and controlling my bass from it and utilising the aux in for the monitor mix from the desk but I'm not sure how that would work. Kinda lost but hoping for help Many thanks Derek

nice one pal i'll go looking

i dont own a mini socket set but ill go buy one.

hi all i have an old charvette by charvel bass. does anyone know how to adjust the truss rod . my action is very high. i cant find the right tool to fit the adjustment thingy cheers

here's my G&L and my SR5

I've got so used to the big full clear sound of the l2500 that I hadn't played the sr5 for a while so i brought it to a rehearsal on Sunday and it didn't fill out the sound in the band mix near as much as the g&l. it actually sounded thin and weak compared to it. I don't know why. I've had the sr5 fully setup and checked and tried a few different batteries and no difference . I'm thinking it could be the fact that the strings are brand new and might just need settle in a bit . what does everyone think about brand new strings. do they tend to feel too bright and thin until they settle in?

Hey folks. I've a fantastic 2008 Ernie ball music man stingray 5 H. It's a pure tone monster and I love it but I've recently (2/3 months ago) picked up a G&L l2500 tribute and it's now my number 1 bass. The feel and sound I get from it just seems to beat all. My sound engineer loves it and we laugh that my "backup" bass is a stingray 5 😂. Just wondering have any of ye had a similar experience. I just can't get over how this €450 (2nd hand) bass has my amazing SR5 stuck in its case for months now. Cheers 🤘

Hey folks. I'm lucky enough to own a fantastic 97 SR5 with a maple neck and ceramic pickup. It's a beast. Now, I've toyed around with multiple string heights and truss rod adjustments and bridge settings. I was always looking for that sweet spot for my kinda playing (pop/rock and I like to dig in a bit) Recently I loosened the truss a little more than I'd normally have it (about the thickness of my bank card when 1st and last fret depressed down) and holy cow!!! It is absolutely singing. Even acoustically it's just got huge tone. My action is probably a bit higher than the majority of players I watch on this forum but my god I love it. Anyone else tinkered with the higher than average side action. Many thanks

I don't really wanna spend that kinda money on it to be honest.

This is current sr5. 97. Ceramic pup

Anaemic is probably a bad word for it. Its got the ceramic pickup and I dunno if its just not right for me. It sounds very metallic and (searching for a word here 😂) anaemic 😂. It's a pure powerhouse but I struggle to get any versatility out of it. I know I'll get scorned for that remark but it's true. I play many genres and it'll do the job but I'd like to get closer to the sound I'm after than what the sr5 offers.

Hey folks. I have a 07 stingray 5 and it's a beast but I find it a little anemic and clanky but also solid as a rock. I've an opportunity to swap for a lakland skyline 5502 deluxe but not sure. All opinions welcome

Yeah I've changed them around a good bit and mixed them and I can hear the difference but it stills leaves everything muddy

Yeah I've tried a couple of batteries and no improvement. It's a funny one. I've everything flat and the bass sounds huge and powerful but slightly muddy. I don't know if the preamp needs a service or complete replacement but it's really annoying. I've Ernie Ball Slinkys on it now but I'm not sure if different strings will make enough of a difference

Hey folks. I have a lovely yamaha trb 5ii bass. I'm very happy with the build quality and playability. Unfortunately I'm a little disappointed with the preamp and possibly the pickups. It seems to sound muddy almost all the time. I'm trying to eq it onboard as best I can but I can't get that nice clear tone I'm after. I have put new strings on it about 2 weeks ago. Would anyone have any suggestions Thanks

My bridge is top loading only. Definitely not string thru body. Ernie Ball long scale winding length is 37.25" and goes to just beyond the nut before it tapers. Would that be ok for me
