I made this kit for myself as I wanted to find a way to charge and hopefully monitor the battery in my active bass (converted with a John East J-TONE from a passive Lakland JO5). I liked it so much I showed my bass mentor at my last lesson. He also wanted one so I ordered parts for it and...

For now my pedal needs are basic for the local cover bands I play with: a simple GP-5 multi and an MXR Bass Synth which I run in parallel with a Portal splitter/joiner. A tuner and DI at either end of the chain. All battery powered. It works for me, though I have to fix the high pitch whine...

As I got back into playing again through jams and open mics for a year before any serious band work, I didn't need pedals. Now, working in local covers bands I do. Tuner (I have a Polytune3 and a clip on), DI box and parallel/series splitter aside the tone affecting pedals are: * Valeton GP-5...

In case anyone wants to achieve something similar, you can easily create a simple modular system to externally charge a rechargeable battery and monitor is voltage, without opening up your bass. No soldering, just snap on connectors and a bit of heatshrink tube. For reference the stock bass...

Today the 2nd hand FXL8 Pro I ordered off eBay arrived and in the midst of programming it. I'm not sure how to activate the triggers yet, hence looking for info and advice online. I'd like to use one of the stomps to act as a momentary footswitch to cycle through the presets on my recent MXR...

Thanks for all the info posted. I decided to go the dedicated pedal route and ordered one of these for £30.

It's not what I intended to experiment with, but I hadn't thought of sorting the signal by frequency range - fascinating! What make/model do use to do the splitting?

What I want to do is the 2nd scenario. Good to hear you've been doing this - can you elaborate on examples of your chains? I mostly play in small (sub-200) venues, so it could work well feeding one chain into my stage amp and the other into FOH.

Hello TBers, My wireless bass receiver has an inbuilt splitter with two independent 1/4" TS outputs and I'm thinking of running them each through separate signal paths, then recombining them post-processing into a single mono signal, to emulate two separate basses playing in unison, perfectly...

Used mainly for local covers bands. Just one audio processing pedal, the rest are wireless bass, tuner, battery, DI, headphone mixer (bass + whatever's available) into wireless IEMs. DI outs for Amp (post), IEM server (pre), FoH (pre or post) * Spaceship 50C (Harley Benton): 500 x 142 mm *...

I'm not a pedals guy, but use one. I've only a year's experience with covers bands and I've ended up using a single tone for each band, to develop a style and not be, at this stage, slavish to the original sound. Either "rock" or "soul" which I get on my Valeton GP-5. Although I'm looking at...

Easily checkable on the Thomann website, which seems to be very reliable with its info (I've read hundreds of reviews from customers and no one has yet pointed out an inacurracy that I've seen). They provide that band checking service for all the transmitting IEM gear they sell.

This fits the bill. 📢 the t.bone IEM 75 It's my first serious IEM system (I've been through cheap Chinese lightweight battery systems) and it's working great. It takes 1 or 2 XLRs or 1/4" jacks as mono or stereo. The headphones are stereo and surprisingly good as I've just found out, really...

Not the prefect one box solution looked for, but if the actual goal is to get wireless bass and IEM onto one pedal board, it's possible even with a rackmount IEM unit. Here's my board with a "the t.bone Giga Set Pro" wireless bass receiver and a "the t.bone IEM75" wireless IEM transmitter...

Ditto, here's the latest one Another fascinating video into the world of an in-demand show bassist at the top level. Ian King covers his gear, preamps, settings, mics for his double bass and a discussion with the show's audio designer. It's not that Overwater bass though, he's got a cool...
