    Best Bass to amp wireless rig

    I use Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8 Ghz Dirt cheap and small. Downsides: unnoticeable in the mix noise and up to 10ms latency

    Bassist and Spinal Issues club

    Who is giving out the club member numbers? I want one! How I cope: First: light bass. I love my Mustang. It's light and I don't need to reach out with my left arm Second: letting the venue's PA do the job. Or bandmates. Don't carry stuff. Use wheels. I carry only my bass, my preamp and IEM...

    NPD: Valeton GP-50

    I just put mu hands on Valeton GP-50 and the measured latency is 5ms, for me fine as a sole latency generator in live situation.

    How many milliseconds out of time is reasonable aim?

    How many milliseconds out of time is reasonable aim?

    I struggle to play in time. I miss-time one note each minute (give or take). It's around 30-40ms too soon or too late. Here's my Polish smile video - and that's as good as it gets. I won't play closer to grid Is this reasonable for a intermediate player I consider myself? Each teacher says...

    Setting intonation Ibanez GSRM-25 28.6" bass: OK up to 12 fret only

    Speaking of precise measurement: When I pluck a string, pitch goes up to 4 cents up and then goes back I can't here the difference Pretty normal, isn't it?

    Setting intonation Ibanez GSRM-25 28.6" bass: OK up to 12 fret only

    First frets are perfect straight outta box 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12th are fine up to ±3 cents Then it goes bad. Here are the initial results of G-string. I tried with action (high and low) and truss rod and saddle position to no avail so it makes no sense to update the results 15th fret: +13 17th...

    Setting intonation Ibanez GSRM-25 28.6" bass: OK up to 12 fret only

    @Aloe I had my other guitar checked by an allegedly reputable tech and he couldn't fix wrong intonation at first few frets, the further from the nut the better; after some reading and fellow TBers support I improved witness point and increased breaking angle with a zip tie on the nut side...

    Setting intonation Ibanez GSRM-25 28.6" bass: OK up to 12 fret only

    test I checked four Fender Mustang Basses to pick one The One This looks great for just intonation. Wonderful thing for C-maj or A-min key - which is actually true for most of the songs :) I use Fender Rumble Studio combo built-in tuner I worked according to third bullet point of your...
