    Band running their own sound tips?

    All good advice for getting a good sound here. One thing I would recommend gear wise us to get a dedicated wifi router for the xr18. I've had multiple bands use them for a monitoring mixer and have major wifi connection problems. When I do sound I have a toolbox with my wireless IEM and a wifi...

    Singers asking the audience how things sound?

    Very unprofessional of your singer, I run sound full time for one band and pull triple duty when I play in mine. (Bass, sound, lights). Both bands have never done anything like that ever. During the breaks we do go and get feedback on the mix from trusted audience members. I take the feedback...

    Train Wreck Recovery

    Before my keyboard player (keys, 2nd electric GTR, and acoustic GTR) got his real keyboard we were using my midi controller keyboard through protools on a laptop. Worked pretty well, but one time while playing "stone in love" when it got to the end the keys didnt work. So normally I play 1/4...

    New Year's Eve gigs..... Who's got 'em?

    Yep, not playing though. Just running lights and sound for a country band that my drummer is in with his dad. Just a small bar that will hopefully be pretty busy. Nice thing though is the band pays me the same as what they each get. Every once in awhile they let me sub in on bass for a few...

    Complete the sentence: When I play my SRFF805/806 ...

    ....I rock the house because it is my favorite bass to play. I found that the srff806 I have is very well made and has great playability. The only 2 complaints I have are: I wish the output jack was on the side so I could use a 90 degree cable(had just rewired my wireless transmitter cable to a...

    Back To The Day Job Blues

    I was back to work yesterday after a 3 day weekend. I used up all my pto earlier this year for gigs and going to a cabin for a week. I work at an aquarium and love my job so I don't mind being at work. I feel the pain though with my weekend job. I am not looking forward to getting up early this...

    Anyone hear knowledgable about microphones? I have a couple questions

    +1 for the sennheiser. My guitarist uses one and it is considerably hotter than my sm58. Sounds great also!

    Mic Pre for Live Bass?

    Go for it! I would change out to a power amp as well though. I currently run from my bass to a line 6 multi effects board into 2 of the presonus studio channels in series with the lovely tube gain used only on both. Sounds glorious! And I have a 1/4" trs connection to a power amp and also an...

    How often do you use your pinky? (...on the fretting hand)

    Never! on electric anyways. it is weird though because i started on upright and used it constantly when playing (and still do when i play upright) but it just doesn't feel natural to me on electric.
