RBI, wireless and tuner in rack

[Medford Bassman]

So I pretty much run ampless. I run sound for my band and I send myself a custom monitor mix that works for me. I usually use a BP355, or BDDI with my wireless. Recently, alot of space had opened up on our FOH rack box. I have the space for a R I, my rack tuner and rack wireless. I'm thinking about putting those items in the box. Then basically all I would bring to gigs is my bass.
This sounds too easy...thoughts, comments would appreciated. Thanks.

Umm...will your tuner be very useful if you move it to FOH? And what is an R I?

Edit: Since you run sound, is your FOH on stage? Not really FOH, I guess.

When I'm in a venue with good monitoring and FOH, I run with an RPM, tuner, and wireless, nothing else. I like it well enough to get through a gig if lugging the amp and cab is a consideration (like playing a week downtown with a fast or non-existent loading zone). I always prefer the amp too, but this setup can be quite satisfactory.

I run FOH from the stage. Sorry for the typo I meant RBI. The mixer rack is always less than 5 feet from me. I go out to the crowd several times a night to check levels.

A little on the snarky side aren't we. I think several working bands on TB run sound from stage. In all the shows we played have yet to get a complaint on sound

The minute you put those things in the rack, you'll find a reason to want to take your bass setup somewhere without the PA.

Not a problem but I recommend having a quick charging Mikita handy.

Sorry. Not the way I meant it. Some guys play and run sound from stage. Some guys run sound out front even though they play. I was a little slow and didn't realize you were the former, not the latter. I'm sure you sound great, and hats off to you. Running sound can be quite a distraction.

Well, I did it. Placed my wireless, tuner in the FOH rack box. Instead of spending the money on a RBI, I took my BDDI and a little velcro and struck it on the EQ in the rack box.

Why I didn't do this years earlier? Phhht, i wish I knew. Got my sound, without hauling extra stuff and setting it up at each gig.

Guess Im getting older and lazier!

Laziness has inspired innovation since the dawn of time. I'm a big fan.

I use the xlr on the RBI to FOH

I have a swr 750x i use just as a power amp and a ampeg 410 HE which is basically my "monitoring rig".

Couple other gizmos of course. Line 6 wireless, pod hd in the effects loop just for effects(doubles as a headphone amp for all night practicing) bbe sonic stomp infront of the sans amp for a little EQing. But I could get by with my conklin and the RBI if I could hear myself decently
