[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1382570442' post='2253942'] Well, "just saying" EBS freak that I have been setting up PAs in band for a long time. At least every other week for the last couple years. And for a long time before that. So, I guess I know what to do - so I have much more than basic skills and rudimentary knowledge. But thanks for your kind advice! [/quote] I would have thought then, you wouldnt be making the novice mistakes that you have talked about in this thread. If you read back through the thread, Ive tried to be nothing but helpful. Go buy your next piece of sh*t and get sh*tty results with that. Time doesnt equal skills gained if the time invested is learning bad practice. Its the same with playing the bass. If that rule stood, everybody on here would have many bass greats standing in their shadow. I repeat what I said earlier. Good luck. :-)

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1382565926' post='2253878'] You appear rude. [/quote] Still stands though... Some rudamentary knowledge of how to use a PA would probably yield greater results than throwing more cash at the situation at this point. Just sayin'

Oops. Wrong small company.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1382543978' post='2253477'] Small company, not super equipped to deal with high demand surges. [/quote]

[sup][quote name='molan' timestamp='1382542412' post='2253438'] Vague hints they may be more than initially predicted. . . [/quote][/sup] [sup]Mesa not keen on selling many then? [/sup]

Interested in hearing this bad boy.

I don't want to appear rude here but I certainly would be looking into to some basic skills of using a PA before investing heavily.

Ask Mr East - sounds like you may want to experiment dropping your pickups too.

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1382467119' post='2252574'] I have a Korg DT2000 hooked up as follows:- Amp FX Send -> Korg rear input 1 Korg rear output 1 -> Amp FX Return That way I can use the mute switch on the tuner. There is absolutely no tone loss at all. [/quote] OH MY GOD! Not in the signal chain! Think of the tone loss man! Yeah, that aside, seems like a valid solution too!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382457762' post='2252396'] Yeah - let's have an argument about it. [/quote] I'd rather not ta. [quote] As the OP has an LH1000... no, it isn't. He needs to try out the options and see what works best for him. [/quote] Seems sensible.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382456756' post='2252378'] But then you're including the tuner in your signal path... an A/B box would allow muted tuning. [/quote] You honestly telling me at a gig, that the tuner is going to have a massive impact on your tone? Pull the other one. It's how it's been designed to work. What would be better would be if there is a mute switch on the amp with a pass through to the tuner. But that's not going to help the OP is is?

No, no, no! The mute is for a pedal so that you can remote mute the ouput from the tuner. Do this.. Bass -> Input 1 -> Using George Ls thin cable, go from Output on the rear of the tuner -> Input on your amp (If it's in a rack case, the George L is thin enough to go between rack units into the input of your amp. Then, using a latched mute, (or maybe unlatched mute - you'd have to read the requirements of the tuner), you can then press your pedal for silent tuning. Press agin, the ouput then becomes live again so the signal goes to your amp. PS There is no front tuner output.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1382385204' post='2251617'] Yamaha Attitude has low end??? Has anyone told Mr Sheehan? [/quote] Haha!

21db boost in the lows with my GBs. I win.

UEs are great. Sennheisers are a bit hit and miss for me... But the ie8s are cool. Nice bass response. Its amazing how vastly different all the earphones can sound!

Ps what ue have you gone for?

Tx500? They are good but do cost you some treble... And they arent that hardwearing. But the comply tips are about as good as you can get before you get custom moulds. If you want to have a great fit, try some acs tips. I love iems. Im a bit of an iem whore. :-p Got some JH Audios coming soon!

Macca's violin bass. That would do me. Got to be the most valuable, iconic bass. Ever.

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1382342447' post='2250710'] I don't think you mentioned mixers, I assume you are happy with what you have? [/quote] Guessing he's using the ToneMatch as in the first post (that's the Bose mixer)

Boo! Pm sent

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1382106418' post='2248088'] You're quite right. But I think that with our new drivers you could use two tops and a 2U rack with a class D DSP amp, plus whatever you use for monitors and that would be it. No need for subwoofers unless you're going very loud. If you need a subs we could make a single lightweight sub and build a 2U rack into it, thus making it effectively an active unit which will replace two typical active subs. However, we'd need to see how much bottom our drivers can bring when up on stands and thus losing the boundary reinforcement off the floor. [/quote] That seems pretty sensible - any ideas on a suitable Class D DSP? Of course, having seperates (even if its housed in the same physical unit) pushes the prices up so it would need to be a good competitor to a powered cab solution pricewise before even looking at performance to make it competitive. The amount of bottom end could be an interesting problem to overcome.
