Super-boomy lows + overall mud in FOH (and stage) sound. Prompted by attending 2 separate gigs, within a week. One I played (small venue, 100 seats) another listened to (theatre, 2k+ seats). Common: FOH person (ppl?) decisions to: * set the kick volume so that it has effect of an elephant...

Shoutout to L6 Pod Express users. I’m looking for compact complementary alternative to my workhorse Zoom B6, for cases like this: low-key, casual jam situation where I might want some FX, but don’t want to bring the whole processor (B6 is compact alright, but L6 Express is compacter :) ) Have...

It’s usually the messenger that gets shot, innit? ;) Tweeter hisses - tweeter out…

Ordered piezo from MB. now I’ll have an ht30 to get rid of ;)

Yes :/ I went (with order, not replacement yet) with reports “dropped ht30 in - and it just works”. Maybe it works “despite of”. I also realized that actually most people want to shut the piezo down :) (hissy), not repair it. I never took mine - when it worked - as hissy: attenuator always let...

I did not :/ * the cab already has it. Doesn’t mean it is ideal for the ht30 tho * info posted here (diff threads) boils down to “it is a drop-in replacement”; kinda makes it sound like ht30 can just simply be soldered in exactly same place where piezo sits. Maybe I missed some important bits...

My 102p traveler does have in-cab attenuator. I (perhaps wrongly) assumed all of them do

I second the Q^^^: 100 or 50w? Ordered ht30/100 - my piezo simply died; want to have a choice - when I want added highs vs not. Also curious: how does an added speaker affect overall “8 ohm” of the cab itself? I’m good with electronics, but it somewhat escapes me how an extra ohm-age would be...

Using it with B6. Completely happy. Size, mechanics - all great. Usage: mostly volume (habitually stick it into slot #6 in my custom patches); one patch - as wah.

Same here - no reply (and many ppl here reported same). Too bad - I like the concept. Now trying to get in touch with local to me luthiers to see if they can replicate the gadget

Thank you! I somehow didn’t know (or ignored) that CRB is a thing. Getting one :) * love MTDs for many things; playability being one of them - to my personal tastes and physique they are perfect * convinced myself that my arsenal needs a bass capable of doing an old-school Motown P (very likely...

I second that. Tried Nordy Mute: it practically chokes the sound, way past “mute”. The only way I was able to get something close to mute out of it was when I barely put it on - grabbing strings just by the hair. But that position turned out to be unstable - NM just falls off after a while.

Track - I like! What bass did you play on it?

I didn’t dig much into specs, so - will go on my observations. Mind you - comparing KZ6 (what I had previously) vs KZX5 (now). * biggest diff: electronics+pups. Don’t know which contributes more - but overall sound is better/richer/deeper to my ears * fretboard: ebony. Seen some KZX specs that...
