    PJB Flightcase 150, strange high freq noise?

    I think it's an issue with yours. I wouldn't expect that to be a normal trait and still sell. Edit: A digital type whine is also indicative of a failing preamp. (I'll try to post an example for you to compare against in say 12 hours?)

    PJB Flightcase 150, strange high freq noise?

    Possibly could be a leaky transistor?

    Battery life, shure pgx.

    I'm not sure about the pgx specifically, as I haven't used any of the low end shure lines... I see on the Shure website that the transmitter is powered by AA batteries. In that case I would strongly suggest picking up 4/8 NiMh batteries and a charger. Play a gig, swap em for a charged pair...

    Want to build a bass, but don't know enough?

    I think you would find incredible value in picking up a book or two on building guitars - there are lots out there that will give you a step by step all the way from design and planning to routing the truss rod cavity. Also, if you do buy a book, read it through at least once before you even...

    Custom Molds for In-Ear Monitors

    I would also definately suggest going to see an ear doc to get the molds done. 1. It will be hard for you to know how far the stopper is supposed to go in your ear -- it will feel like it is way to far when it is most likely not but then again, you don't want to go to far... 1. They're...

    Figuring-out the 5 String Concept

    Another reason for the low B that I don't think has been mentioned... I believe the original reason for the addition of the low "B" was to compete(probobly not the best word) with bass synth's in modern hip hop/etc.

    Using smaller sound devices through an old PA

    Yeah, but you eliminate the phase issues. I figured he was trying to get signal -- not worried about stereo particularly.

    Black Locust

    Neat, however my understanding is that black locust and honey locust are quite different. So... what is true for one, may not be true for the other.

    Black Locust

    An old neighbor of mine is a wood turner and got his hands on a pile of black locust when they were building a new street here about 10 years ago. His clients don't like the wood because it turns a "funny" color so he'd be willing to give it to me -- has anyone used this for a bass? If so for...

    How much power can you connect to an outlet. How to prevent an accident?

    Basic way to calculate --- Amps = Watts/Volts In jtc_hunter's situation he has a total of 1948 watts / 110volts (standard north american voltage) = 17.7A draw. If he was running on a 15A rated ciruit and the units connected drew full power, the breaker would flip, causing power to be...

    Spec me a PA system for a praise band

    I believe then, tecnically, they can't (legally) include the live music in the service, either.

    Once again walking bass: playing standards on the spot

    I think you're missing the point entirely. You see, you don't transcribe to learn how to play a particular song. Or even to see how they played the song differently from you with the intention to just incorporate some of their stuff into the way you would play the song. You transcribe to...

    Headphone amp/mixer help

    You can use the existing wiring in the church for aux send(assuming your snake has a spare). Run out of your aux of the console and run backwards through a channel on the snake. Plug in the input on the stage to your headphone amplifier and you're good to go. Just requires making/buying a...

    Any experience with wireless in ear moniters? Recommendations?

    +1 more /w custom molds If you invest in the in ears don't put off getting molds done either - foams and sleeves suck compared to custom molds(sound quality and comfort-wise). As for systems, I use Shure PSM700 w/e5's. I'd recommend getting either at lease the 600's, or 700's -- They both...

    Using smaller sound devices through an old PA

    You can also try using your existing cable by only plugging it in part way -- that way you fool your console into thinking it's only a Tip/Sleeve plug.

    Using smaller sound devices through an old PA

    Yes, cabling could very well be the culprit -- the most nominal cable to be running from your ipod would be a stereo 1/8" to TWO mono 1/4" jacks. Thus splitting the left and right channels. Now for a condensed explaination of the theory... There are two types of signals in PA applications...

    Soundmen talk about Mixing Bass in FOH

    I believe the second poster hit the nail square on the head. FOH is sound reinforcement. If the bass/player sounds terrible no matter of eq'ing will help -- a situation found in too many churches. Otherwise, a great DI is all you need. The other comment "...the best bass tone for an...

    What small amp to use as DI and stage monitor ?

    I've now ditched any heads/amps for in-ears. As for DI -- most amp DI's are noisy/distorted, even on high end heads. I had both an Eden that produced noise and a hartke which provided distortion. There have been many-a-time where I've had to get bass players to run through an external DI...
