Ampless Bassist's Club?

#141
No amp needed!!

For a few years, I brought a small rig with me for the other guys. I didn't need it, I'm IEM. Can't hear it. Although, all cards on the table, I was nervous about no speaker at all. It took me awhile to just sort of leave the cabinet behind. Once I did it, I realized I was hauling a rack for nothing. I'm all in with a pedal board these days. it took some time to find the combination of DI/preamp that worked for me but I was committed to lightening my load, lol. I'm fortunate to have the same FOH gear/soundman every night. IEM's are always the same. I realize that's not an option for everyone.

My biggest problem now? No amp equals no place to put my crap.

I’ve been ampless for years, but this is my latest. I’m really liking the battery option. With my rechargeable IEMs, and rechargeable wireless for my bass, I don’t even plug anything into power at the gig.
Do we get club numbers here? I’d love one.

What wireless system do you use? I'm looking into going fully wireless on my pedal board but I am having trouble finding the right setup I'm wanting to stay away from wifi based ones if I can help it but those are the only systems im finding that look like they will work for mounting on the pedal board on the output/ amp side

I’ve been using this system for almost 2 years now and it’s been great. I hate body packs, and clunky receivers. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Gui..._rd_i=B07KPBVCKJ&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_rp_12_sc
