    $500 budget: a monitor speaker for a bass guitarist - Yamaha DBR12 vs. Turbosound TFX122M

    Hi TBers, Thanks to the responses I got from a previous posting, I decide to get a powered pa speaker for a bass guitarist to hear the bass and the band mix. ** The monitor speaker will face me, not the audience, so that the sound team does not affected by the bass sound coming out of the...

    Bass Combo Amp: possible to use it to hear your sound AND others as a monitor speaker?

    Thank you for your response. Your answer makes perfect sense. The venue has 3 available channels for monitor speakers, and two of them were used for vocals, a key player, and a guitar player. In my case, as the front of house also needs a bass sound/signal, I probably would send the DI out to...

    The purpose was to get either a combo amp or a monitor speaker for a small church. The image was just to ask if a bass combo amp can be used also as a monitor speaker.

    Bass Combo Amp: possible to use it to hear your sound AND others as a monitor speaker?

    I was actually thinking of getting a DBR 12 powered speaker due to the budget (less than $400), instead of DHR12M or other pa speaker with 2 inputs. For DHR12M, do you use a DI that has two outputs so that one output goes directly to input 1 of the pa monitor speaker and the other output goes...

    Bass Combo Amp: possible to use it to hear your sound AND others as a monitor speaker?

    Thank you for your thorough explanation on how to use a combo amp for dual purposes. I learned a lot. Due to a budget issue and a (minor) complexity of the setup, I think I will go for a powered PA speaker for now. Thank you again for the detailed response! I really appreciate it.

    Bass Combo Amp: possible to use it to hear your sound AND others as a monitor speaker?

    Hi TBers, I am thinking of getting a bass combo amp to hear the bass sound more clearly at a small venue that fits about 150 to maximum 200. Currently the venue has two monitor speakers on stage for 2-3 vocals, 1 keyboard, 1 acoustic guitar, and 1 bass guitar. * An illustration of the current...
