    Wolfgang VanHalen’s bass rig

    It's all advertising. Hès DI into the board like everyone else with in ears as monitors. You can tell the way live performers move around and look at nothing if they are in ears or lip synching. DLR was using a backup singer behind the curtain in 1986 when i saw him. No chance he's singing at...

    MXR M80 Parallel Output

    MXR Bass DI is great. Turn the blend down and gain up all the way on the distortion channel and get nice tube amp tone.

    I only play live so this is my perspective and not sure what anyone else is using these DI boxes for. I try to use them as an ampless solution. They work ok if there is an aux line out to a sub with the drums. Without a Sub better off using any size bass amp with a DI out to wherever. Even a...

    I've used this box on and off over the last 10yrs as a live ampless solution. It works. It has 2 outputs so one to the mixer and one to an amp or wherever. Sounds pretty good, but if everyone in your band is using high quality gear it will seem now that good. Put every button on noon and go for...

    Feedback and HPFs

    Feedback only happens with extreme amateurs and something major is wrong. Doesn't take much to learn the key feedback issues.

    What Kind of Bass Guitar do you Play (Re-loaded)? BE SURE TO REVOTE!

    Fender MIM jazz bass. Dimarzio pups, CTS pots, .47cap. frets leveled with chrome flats. Got huge discount cause it fell off the wall and had a chip in paint and few scratches on the back. Had a tech in Dallas all the upgrades and it doesn't get any better. All in for $1000. No hum no buzz at any...

    Backing tracks for live performance - whats good ?

    Been using an old Beat Buddy drummer on a tray hooked to my mic stand with a foot pedal to turn on and off for over 5yrs. Guitar player to my right and its all we need. Run the beat buddy through something like a EQ pedal or old pre amp to jack the lows up to 3 o'clock to get some punch. It's a...

    I think I am going to sell off my pedals - am I crazy?

    Don't use any pedals or effects anymore. It's an amp (little fishman loudbox with DI out the back) or a mixer with HiZ input. Usually go Fender Jazz bass into the HI-Z channel on the mixer and one signal to FOH and other AUX the bass to the Subwoofer. Frown the EQ just a bit to leave room for...

    Why the Jazz Bass CRUSHES everything :)

    Fender Jazz Bass MIM passive used $499. Came with a hard case. No mods. Doesn't get any better for live band. Been to many a show and watched and heard a simple Fender bass awesome thunder and tone before getting rid of all boutique basses and buying a used Fender Jazz. Don't use any effects or...
