I ran into an odd PA system installed by a Bose Professional authorized retailer. The system they designed has two lefts from the console to the ControlSpace processor that links to a Powermatch amp. The speakers are connected to left and right outputs on the amp. The processor (digital preamp)...

It was a good 5.5 year run but had some issues over that time... broken transmitter and power supply that my SW sales guy surely appreciated the biz. In year 4, I noticed the battery was not lasting as long. I use to go through two masses on the same day on one charge. Instead, during the hour...

Last Sunday, the choir singers were singing softly to where all the parishioners can hear are the instruments... piano, bass, acoustic guitar, and electronic flute. Each had a SM58 mic in front of their faces, and the sound system was working just fine. The flute was playing their melody staff...

Okay, really a simple question but I thought to use an eye grabbing title. Where do you guys have the onboard volume pot set at? Kiesel support told me to max it, but I haven't. It's on the 8th mark out of 10. This was a couple of years ago, and I've forgotten about it. But the preamp is...

When I needed to replace my cheap wireless system recently, I decided to purchase one of the major brands that uses TV whitespace frequencies. Those three were Audio-Technica ATW-3255, Sennheiser G4, and Shure PSM900. Plus, Sweetwater carries all three which made comparison easier. The...

This was purchased on Amazon for $209 two years ago, and I've used it every Sunday plus weddings, funerals, and some extra gigs. This a total of about 160 gigs including setup and tear down of the full unit every time. Disclosure is that I am not affiliated with the company in any way, and...

Hope so since I have two questions: 1- How durable is the plastic reciever? Stout or average consumer grade? 2- RF performance/range the same at the low 480Mhz and high 608Mhz ends compared to the middle of the 500Mhz?

These are on sale at Amazon for $95.68 plus tax with free delivery. I have a set coming today. Amazon is the seller and they say it's genuine. We'll see shortly. Only 4 left in stock. Best price I can find. I normally find these for $125 or more...

Check out this action: PANTERA - SHURE SM58 - DIMEBAG | eBay That kinda looks like a fake one. What do you think? It could be a fake seller that has nothing to do with Pantera. The hole between the XLR catch and the hole for the screw that my SM58S doesn't have. Plus the shape of the...

I think the ones in the neck pocket are not, and appear to be a sticker cut and fit by a previous owner. In fact, I didn't notice it was a double layer until looking at the photo here. The one on the neck heel does look like it could come from the factory. It doesn't align up with the...

I received mail from Line 6 yesterday on the recall for my G10S. It's really a firmware update. It's designed to prevent overheating during charging, but I wonder whether it slows the charging rate down. I need the fast charge rate though. Anybody knows if this slows down the charging rate...

Anybody have recommendations? I think I currently set the limiter on the monitor mix port to -1.01db or so. It's a Presonus Studiolive III.

So I have to ask if anyone noticed a change in the way Dunlop makes these strings from, say 6 years ago or so? I purchased a 5 string set of SS super brights and installed those on my Kiesel. First thing I noticed was these don't feel anything like the super brights that came from the factory...

Man, I hate thieves, but I don't like those that support thievery by purchasing instruments in parking lots at very questionable pricing. How could this dude not know it was stolen? A $40K Cello is going to have a police report. Bellevue musician reunited with his $40K cello that was stolen 3...

Well yeah, this lockdown crap gives me lots of time to think or read. The thinking part might get me into trouble, but on the subject of California's anti-musician hate in AB-5. Looking at the cheapest way to be actually legal with that stupid law that outlaws independent musicians, I thought...

I'm working on this sheet music for the version that Billie Joe recorded on Youtube of Tommy James and the Shondells' "I Think We're Alone Now". This is part of his lockdown videos. There's no bass or drums in it. I've added those, but I'm looking for more of a punk or metal sound. My baseline...

I don't know if we've done this before, but I found this line funny, and quite accurate, imo: "He had another bass amp before, and those amps were brilliant that the time… this company was eventual bought by Fender, and retired by them because that’s what they do." I had a good laugh. I...

This was my Christmas present from my wife and children. The goal here was to find a cheap, used cab with decent tone to leave at the main church where I play bass. Cheap because ownership will probably default to the church over time, and others will likely use it as well. The cab with the...

We had an audition for a keyboardist/choir director this past week, and I'm asked to evaluate the audition. I have no idea how to respond. Most seem to like the person, some did not. The applicant had difficulty in playing through all but one song. Even that one song was a bit shaky. The...

It will be left at a church for myself to use, and I probably will not get it back when I leave. I have a line on a used one at a good price. Church capacity is around 250 parishioners. Acoustics is not dead, nor does it have classic church reverberation. It's about ideal. I do use a...

A couple of scenarios of whether it's a copyright violation or not: 1- I make changes to some of the sheet music we have legally purchased based upon whatever changes are needed. Some times it's a change to a verse, removal of some measures, changing a chord or two in a passage, a key change...

I cannot find an appropriate forum to discuss standard notation. Do we need one, or should one of the forum be used, and it added to the description? It seems like standard notation is on it's way out, and I've been under a rock. Or it seems that very few want to discuss it.

This is not a review but my initial thoughts on using it, coming up on the month mark. I come from Ampeg bass, and Marshall JCM800 for guitar, but since I exclusively backup a church choir, clean tones are favored over crunchy tones. First, I really wanted the ELF as it would be more of a...

Well, at the 4 month mark, I couldn't take it anymore. The Ernie Ball Cobalt flats sound great out of the package, and better at the 1 to 2 month mark. At the 3 month mark, I noticed the strings were changing to a brownish color. Nothing to do with the VH brown sound. Particularly on the low B...

I took it out of the box at the LGS and went through all the knobs to make sure it works. Also inspected for dents, etc. The amp passed everything I tested, checked, and looked at. Brought it home, and read the multi-language mini-manual first. It read: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1)...

So, I'm going to summarize my 3 month experience gigging with the G10s every Sunday, multiple services on Sunday. Plus weekly rehearsals, and some weddings and memorial masses. I'l try to keep it short, but it' going to be hard. So please excuse my signficant typing that will likely follow...

Reason is that most of the cabs/combos are local pickup only. Since most of those are too far for me to pick up locally, it's needless search for amps which sellers almost always are willing to ship. And/or, have local pickup classifieds for each region, regardless of item type. Since this is...

I have a chance to get a HA2500 in great shape at a very low price. It's been a home practice amp all of it's life. Price is so low that if it doesn't work out, it's not a big deal. For about double, I can get a HA3500 in good shape, but used frequently on gigs. It definitely smells smokey...

The Intro: Original thread: My Line6 G10T 0 Mistake.... Ouch First off, before opening it, I sent emails to Line 6 and my Sweetwater rep where I purchased it. Never heard back from Line 6, but my rep did call me about an hour after sending the email. I did make it clear in the email that I...

Oh boy, I don't know how it happened at rehearsal yesterday, but it did: Our music director called out the next song to rehearse, and I started to play on the intro. Nothing at first, but not a cause for concern because of it's power saving feature. But, it did not kick in after the 2nd...

So, a year ago, my wife brought home a ukulele from her place of employment. She was doing locker clean out after the school year and somebody left it in a locker. District policy is that everything left goes into the dumpster. It's a Makala MK-T, and all I have are guitar tuners. Internet...

Hey, I have a great, beautiful Vanquish as pictured in my avatar. After about a year with it, I started to notice it had very low output. Much lower than my passive Precision bass with Fender original 62 pickups. The blend knob acts more like a volume knob, but it sill functions to blend...

I have purchased and installed Fender 9050L flat wounds on my EBMM Sterling, and like these very much. Now that my Pressurewounds (medium-lights with a low B) needed to be replaced, I would have preferred to use the same in 5-string. However, it appears that Fender does not offer a 5 string...

I noticed both Peavey and TCE has introduced 2x8s. Peavey in a combo, and TCE in a cab. What's up with this? Some speaker manufacturer has found the holy grail in bass tone from a 8" woofer? I'm not aware of any new found popularity on 2x8 at this point. Are we all getting that old, and...

So, we have a new Studiolive III 16. Yesterday's rehearsal was the first time for me going direct through it. Walked in, unpacked my bass and cable and plugged into one the high-z channels already configured for me. Quite nice as it beats hauling the Ampeg. However, it sounded weak and I...

Did they dropped them due to the low tension flats, or perhaps 760RS are now called low tension flats? Looking for a 5-string set for a Vanquish with radius single coils and a preamp. I would consider GHS or Fender but it appears neither makes a B string in flat wound (or in Fender's case...

I've had these on my EBMM Sterling for about 2 months now. Setup of the Sterling is close to the usual recommendations. I believe the neck relief is .011, and the string action is about 6/64. These are the newer 9050L (45-60-80-100) strings in the white package with green silk. Shade of green...

Or am I alone in that thought for dual radius PUs? My Vanquish 5 string is still a great bass and it's been my main bass for a year now. I would prefer to have the bridge PU moved up, or away from the bridge, about 1/4" though.

I do want one, but with Aguilar pickups! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] NAMM 2018 Black Burst Imperial MG 5 Elite NAMM instrument #2 for 2018 is an Imperial MG 5 Elite featuring a Alder body, Alder tone block, and Macassar Ebony fingerboard. This combination provides this bass with a...

So, I was cruising Youtube for how low/high bassists set their strings to compare against where I like mine. I ran across Janek's setup clip and saw what appeared to me as very high action: I believe that's his signature Fodera Imperial MG 5 Elite since there is no ramp. I was surprised at...
