Well they did the fr800 which was essentially an active big baby but they were discontinued due to poor sales.

Don't think Romesh looks an awful lot like Wayne personally, but whatever.

My pair of FR800s was the single best rig I've ever owned, so hopefully this has a bit of that dna.

If you're a rock or punk rock fan then One Nine Nine Four is brilliant.

I have to stress, I was asked, not told. And I was the token goth in an otherwise legitimate indie rock band. The others had sideburns and parkas and everything.

As someone who was once politely asked to not play an EBMM Bongo as it was too garish, jealous of the kind of band where you can play that beautiful bass.

I dunno, they're as capable as any other decent 1x12 bass cab though.

I've done a lot of gigs with a pair of 910 and a 705. Good sounding rig.

I couldn't agree more. I got to a point in my career where I had to learn video editing and premiere pro really intimidated me. It wasn't until I realised I only needed about 7 of the buttons that I could make a start.

Yeah that depends on the definition of 'ready to use', doesn't it? I plugged my Scarlett Solo in with a cable (30 seconds?, mostly cable tidying), typed "sudo apt-get install Ardour" (3 seconds?) and then that was it. I was 'ready' in less than a minute. I just had no idea how the DAW worked, and that took me .... well, about 7 years and counting ...

Rammstein. The bass guitar just sounded like a distant rumble, it and the kick were by far the loudest things in the mix. You couldn't miss that he was playing but you couldn't tell what he was playing.

Depends how steep the slopes on the desk are, but it could work just fine. Like others here I wouldn't normally bother, but if you don't have a crossover anywhere else then it seems like a good option for you.

Is the peavey a newer one where the octave is labeled as 'kosmos b'? If so I might be interested.

I can picture a pint, and I sort of understand miles. Everything else is a nightmare. A while back my drummer's dad helped me reverse my car in a dingy venue car park. When he told me I had 3 feet to go I had to stop, work out that I'm a little under 6 feet tall because tall people are often proud of hitting the 6 feet mark, and then realise that I probably had the length of my legs still to drive before I hit anything. I've got some quite expensive basses, but the ones I always recommend are the G&L tributes. Funny old world.

On paper my p bass is just as good as Pinos and better than Jamersons.

Some pretty awesome p bass and tube amp tones.

And any mic on the front line is just a drum and backline mic too. In my last two bands I used optigates on the backing vocal mics to keep them turned off until you shove your face in them. That might be something to look into if there's a drummer struggling. It won't help them get thier voice above the drums when they're singing (as mentioned, that's what a tight pickup pattern is for) but it will mean there's no drums coming through when there's no vocals. I know most digital mixers have software noise gates but I never could ride them enough whilst also being the bassist. Hardware ones are brilliant.

The Prodipe TT1 is superb as a loud stage vocal mic. I bought my two based on the thread on pro sound web.

My rule has always been that if it's necessary it has a spare. I take a spare bass, but I don't take a spare strap (I'll sit) a spare wireless (I'll use a cable) or mic (I'm not the lead singer) etc etc. In backline bands we never bothered with a spare mixer. Even though we always ran super quiet on stage and used mics/di there's nothing stopping you from going old school. We'd just turn the amps up and run the lead vocalist straight into the speakers. My last band was all iem and no stage amps so we did take a spare as without a mixer we essentially couldn't play. Thankfully I owned a mixer and so did a guitarist. Although all this is theoretical as I've never had a mixer fail on me. Fingers crossed!

I just sold my two rcf 715s for £500 each. Actually, I got talked down on the second one.

Best amp I ever had. Enjoy it.

Please, sorry, don't take my post too seriously. I'm not in any position to put anybody else in their place. I do think I might have some sort of point in that if a mass-market amplifier actively marketed the fact that it cuts bass off then it might put some people off. However, I don't have the data to prove it other than the smaller manufacturers who make boutique stuff seem to often include this feature and the more PMT/Guitar Guitar/high street stuff doesn't. Anyway, I'm off to play in front of 20 people, big crowd tonight.

Basschat is not representative of bassists. I have a feeling that if you marketed a hpf most people would think it silly that you'd take the bass out of a bass. It's a feature that you see in some more expensive amps, which I suspect are bought either by more serious players, or people who nerd out on bass forums and play 20-person-audience gigs with a Fodera. 🫣

Speaking of which, can someone clarify the app control stuff on the A&H? My XR18 is due an upgrade... Does it work perfectly fine if connected to an external router? This would be for me on soundman with a tablet and others on only their IEM mix with their phones.

Our man joined the army and was sent into the armoured cavalry, until they realised that you couldn't close the hatch of the tank over his head. So he was shipped off to the horse guards to look impressive for the tourists. Being 202cm got him out of going to Afghanistan, so there's that.
