https://amzn.eu/d/apS98Y0 - don’t guess. Get the actual figure. Ive found that the figures on the labels don’t necessarily represent real world figures!

The problem - well, it's morally bankrupt. I always smirk when I see "that pdf" which shows all this top end equipment listed. There's always the narrative "top end system", "sounds amazing", "no complaints ever"... lies lies lies. Anyway, these "great" setups dont mean anything... pricey setups don't defy physics. I think the golden era of making a living via being in a function band is well and truly over. Or maybe it's just cos I got sick of it all... Dunno. But it was definitely getting less enjoyable every gig I did.

In reality, most punters wouldn't know what a good or bad sounding band at a wedding sounds like. And if it sounds rubbish and the punters notice, they won't say anything - they are guests at a wedding and unlikely to have picked up the bill. Nobody will tell the bride or groom, cos nobody is going to be that person that potentially ruins their day... hence the problem goes unchallenged, the venue is paid, the band gets paid... and everybody is happy... kinda. Lets face it, for most couples and guests, it's a one off event.

They are all pants. Hate them. For an insight into how some of these systems “work”, look up the Maxxbass plugin… the thing is, that still requires **some** bass to work. Not so hot when you’ve high passed all the bass out of your speakers already. Some venues just arent cut out for live music. What these venues should be doing is, is running a band through a silent disco setup and selling that as quirky feature. Neighbours not complaining about noise, the oldies can talk and everybody else can hear how your band doesn’t sound as good as the band thinks it does! 😛

You can use y splits - but folk prefer not to because it can lead to impedance mismatch, increased signal noise but most notably, they don’t limit phantom power - which can have a habit of breaking things which shouldn’t be in the receiving end of it… -
That needed a dedicated Jeff cam!

You only really need to read the first few posts. Loosely inserted IEMs in your ears is not the way to go.

Plenty of people on here use UE6 - it’s the entry point I recommend for the pro experience in a custom.

im not usually one for green basses... but this looks very lovely!

Nope. Won’t work. You need a stereo system for stereo.

Perhaps he should spend the next week doing this as part of his practice… assuming he does.

4 mins in and they’ve said nothing. Nup, not sitting through any more of that.

Theres more to it than that. Granted, there will be mimes - but when you get to larger productions, where there is a hell of a lot of effort put into polishing the audio, click is vital for things like time based effects (e.g. delays). Theres simply too much going on for sound engineers to be tapping tempos or trying to get players to control their onstage effects to be in sync to an ever changing tempo. Solution = click, and midi timecode. Lets not also forget, for large scale events, you'll need a click for automations on the light show. Cues is no biggie - why wouldn't you prerecord the cues if you are running to a pre-arranged show? It's making the MDs life a bit easier on the talk back mic. I know Rick Beato talked about changing up shows - all possible if you mark your loop zones in the arrangements. Like everything, it's all in the prep. And thats why the best stadium shows are complete mammoth works of art.

Is Jones really going to deliver on that bass?
-
Can you not choose lighter woods and get as much as it chambered as possible?
-
PS - be prepared to spend quite a significant amount of money for that sized band.

Stereo or mono? And it sounds like you will need a split if running with a house desk. Figure out who absolutely can't be wired. For example, keys and drums could safely be wired feeds. Wireless you are opening yourself up to a load of chaos unless you absolutely know what you are doing. The UL1000 for example, you'll only be able to run 3-4 of those in stereo legally. If it does the focus mode (where you can get two mono feeds out of one transmitter and one receiver) - you'll get 6-8. I wouldn't be touching a Ch70 system for that size of band unless you can bail out onto wired. Also, I would hazard a guess the UL1000 isn't going to have the best compander - so probably not going to sound that great. (Not that I've tried one... but I certainly know the trend... and theres a reason why EW300s and PSM900s cost what they do).

be careful who you choose to endorse…

What do you want customised? The size, or the finish? Or both?

Isn't that called a jazz gig?
