I went IEM pretty much out of necessity. My hearing is going off. Quickly. So I kind of jumped of the deep end and did it. I haven't brought an amp in months now. My guitarist has done the same thing. Because we do our own sound in smaller venues, the first song I'll leave them out and take a...

Welcome to TB. As you can tell by my avatar, I'm a Boden Prog owner. Love mine. I hope you enjoy yours as well.

....or buy a used Kubicki Factor. Only a few grand. Think of it as an investment. ;-)

My solution was to put a dedicated wedge in front of me with just my bass in it, but with the bass rolled off considerably. With primarily mids cranking away, at least I'm able to tell if I'm in the right key LOL. The overall mix to my perception is crap, but if it sounds good out front, that's...

I just picked up a Harley Benton JP 450 OP for under $200 because it felt great, sounded good, and played WAY beyond its price point. I couldn't justify NOT buying it. Definately something you could keep at a seperate location and still have a great player.

Check the sig. 6.5 lbs. Balances perfectly. The reasoning begind buying it was that I like "non-conforming" basses (although I do have a P deluxe), and secondly was that it is so damn light. I did 3 hours straight at a recent gig and could have kept going. Any of my others would have killed my...
