For what it’s worth, I’ve used the FC on a travel bass for years. I got about 5 years out of mine with pretty heavy touring. The second one died much sooner, but it had a run in with a band mate clutzing around on stage. Fishmans bench fee and replacement policy has been very easy to deal with...

I’ve used a zip tie to secure the RF pack to the tailgut. It sits underneath and is quite invisible. I just use the belt clip to catch the tailgut and use the zip to make sure nothing vibrates. It’s been rock solid for me.

I’m an idiot. Cabin fever is catching up with me. I was talking about the EDM-1, and was sure that was the unit you were referencing. I always get the two models mixed. My sincere apologies.

I’m fairly certain using that trs-xlr adapter in “DI mode” actually supplies phantom to power the headway, bypassing the battery drain.

We used to do an acoustic part of the show, in the middle of the crowd. I used to have my Chadwick wearing all synthetic EP Slaps. I’m not sure I had that action as high as prescribed above, but definitely a few turns higher than where I have the steels. I really liked them, and while a bit...

wow. I must have misread your post. Sorry. Yeah, if you’re sure all the cables are good, and you’ve plugged the whole lot into an amp to verify? Then I’m stumped. Insertion of the pedal isn’t adding a lot of gain? The only thing I can think of is that it’s freaking out the console pre in...

Those were Hi/Z inputs. And the gain pot is after it, so you may have decent success. The VT still might give you better signal to noise, given the output is likely higher. XLR cables are inherently better because they cancel out any noise picked up by the cable. I would rather use that as...

I can’t take any credit...that’s 100% Jake. But yeah it’s awesome. And it’s easy to score an end pin on the road!

I’m pretty tall and the thinner pins would flex like crazy under vibrato. I had mine swapped by Jake to a New Harmony (I believe). I’m running a Maple drum stick (as high as possible), with the threaded New Harmony bass ball for a tip. It’s lasted forever, and I’m still under 50lbs on the scale.

Radial PZ-Pre, or PZ-Deluxe?

In my experience, all the digital desks have a 4 band fully parametric EQ and a variable HPF. Even the cheap ones. The QSC does, the X/M32, the Allen & Heaths I’ve run across, etc. The more pro level stuff may even have a choice to alter the slope of the HPF, as well as fancy plug-in...

I think a few guys eluded to this a bit, and I’ll share my take too. I have no technical background to explain this, just my ears. I feel like, on my bass and FC pickup, the BB seems to make the way the pickup tracks the vibration more consistent. When playing the bass at different dynamic...

It’s been dark over here for a while. But I just got to use my REMIC green in the studio, and the engineer loved it! I wish I had a red to try!!! We did mostly bluegrass-y kinda stuff, both pizz and arco. I was really impressed in the control room when I heard it back. We were recording at a...

This is sad news. The CFB is a great solution for a lot of us. I wish Charlie nothing but the best, and luck in the future.

I use it in exactly this way. I didn’t make new WaveMaps, as I was out on the road when I got it. It really changed everything for the better, even in front of the TD. It smooths out that quack situation even further. The mids are far more consistent and real. I think the non-linearities and...
