IEMs & strings

[-Asdfgh-]

A second feed would have to go to a second channel. There are no inputs on the mixer other than channels. All other connections on the mixer are the six aux outputs & the L/R main outputs.

Your suggestion has me thinking outside the box. I have a Fishman platinum EQ with an XLR out, 1/4 out that is varied with the onboard EQ, and a tuner out that is pre EQ. I could set it near my amp and send the tuner out to my amp input and send the regular EQ affected output to a second channel in the mixer. The second channel will be the source of my bass to my aux out channel. I think it will work.

I'd rather do the reverse if the amp isn't FRFR and the signal is prior to the amp - the amp gets the signal without EQ, FOH gets something that sounds like an amp.

Too often, pre-amp DI sounds awful, IMHO. None of my basses, active or passive, sound good that way apart from the fretless ABG with TI flats.

My bass amp will get a non EQ’d signal from the “thru” path of the Fishman preamp. I can EQ the heck out of that signal before it comes out of my amp / cab.
The bass channel in the mixer will get a pre-EQ signal from the DI in my amp and will be EQ’d for FOH. I will not send this channel to my mon/aux out,

The second channel in the mixer will get a signal that I can EQ with the Fishman preamp / EQ before it hits the channel, but that channel won’t be sent to FOH. It will only be sent to my mon/aux-out along with other channels in the mixer for my individual monitor mix.

All the above can go out the window if I can figure out if / how to EQ the mon/aux out signal without affecting the EQ for the signal going to FOH.

And after all that, there’s no guarantee either method of EQ’ing the signal that comes to my IEMs will make the TIs sound like a bass guitar instead of a bass sitar….
