You can't really go wrong with it last before the DI. Anywhere else you run into possible interference with the following fx. Of course the interference could be welcome as a new flavour or better flavour. You might decide to install two! Sending a HPF'd signal to FOH is never a bad idea.

Needs a poll added.

They didn't help themselves by using a super high signal level at the interface so you could only use them with GK combos with matching output. Generally if you are in the business of selling bass combos there is no economy in selling the same thing minus a bass preamp stage. By the time it was in the market it would be selling for the same price. In a parallel situation Quilter got the idea to supply a bass oriented power brick from a Talkbass talkfest. Same idea, BYO preamp. By the time the design was formalized it was able to take a passive bass and had some EQ, because that's what people want when you can have it for the same money or very nearly.

Is a very good spec if it's true. It's only a little shy of what your average "1200w" speaker will handle.

Yeah, me, and probably most of the geezers like me I would have thought. Sometimes I accidentally click on that titsonabull "mark forum read" button right next to the forum link and my heart skips a beat backing out of it. If I have read I have read it. If I haven't I haven't. Wtaf?!?!

Yeah, we all know. But what about the newcomers? They will post new threads in Amps and Cabs even thinking they are already there when they went in. Why not just put it in Gear next after A & C and never need to tweak it again?

Specs say 15cm depending on surface reflectivity is the minimum operational distance. One wonders if a face at 15cm triggers it on or not. Length of mic plus maximum control distance required = operational distance required.

Actually, I was looking at the NZ offerings. I guess there's a link in there somewhere to shop in English and £?

There is a cheaper one that only does dynamic mics. Curiously also PB-05

Not that I can find with their dodgy search facility. Optogate, nada zip zilch. Microphone gate, likewise.

The plastic cased version is a fair bit less expensive than the one linked.

SansFransicoed.

Must be, because I have always had the same problem as OP.

There will be a "dealing with amps and cabs on stage" sticky in here soon enough. How weird would that be?

There was only one voice for it being a sub forum, yours. Please see about getting it upgraded. Eventually the amps and cabs forum will die off to a stub of the PA forum as the younger members adopt IEM silent stages. May as well prepare for it now.

Highpass all mics, aside from kickdrum, as high as you can get away with. Defo get all stage monitor amps pointed at owners' heads but not up mic pattern window. Stage volume will evaporate like nobodies business. Stop letting anyone freehand their mic if they can't control where it's pointing, front AND back.

New one on me. 7 - Grateful Dead 2nd mic taped to first wired opposite polarity into the desk. Reminds singist they better sing into one or the other or they won't be heard.

If there's a slot in the cello post similar to the violin one that might have taken the aluminium back in the day. Dunno if that is such a good idea as it would chew up the slot for the real tool. Watch the video.

I always said it should stand alone. Under Gear. Just look at how many threads got shifted in that were started in August. It's worthy.

Who's going to email Pyramid? Should be @Smanth and get a couple of free sets.

Obviously a lot more going on than I can envisage and a complete waste of your time trying to describe to me sorry. Loosing the plot at T shape and not seeing the orientations, all clouded by how I think a piece of aluminum channel strip looks and how I think I might do it with a piece of string.... Looking forward to the picture. Btw most of the sketches I post are done at work on back of an envelope and phone does the rest.

Can you make a sketch of your gizmo because I can't 'see' it. I know what aluminium channel looks like but past that it's not computing.

Also a 1 shot deal?

As it never came to light while the Beatles were all alive I think it's gone for good. Whoever nicked it stashed it away got old and died and it either got flogged off as just another bass put back to righthanded, or chucked on the fire.

It's demo'd on a cutaway cello so I am guessing not so different on a bass either. Definitely not unscrewing your bass! You need to know where it is supposed to go, and the prepped tool, bass size. And the kahunas. No screwdriver.
