Wireless, DI, can't hear myself

Oops, I didn't read right, forget everything I said about IEM s, I thought that was what they were using.

Get a small 10" kick back/wedge shaped amp, even a powered monitor will be fine. All you need are mids to hear your self.

And crank up your mids on your bass, you will cut right thru . Try boosting around 200-250 , 500 and 700-800, those frequency s cut through/add punch. If you don't have eq, just crank the mid knob if you have active, or turn passive tone wide open, don't worry about sounding harsh, out front it will be processed .

+1, in fact, put that kickback bass combo in front of you; "what, this? it's my monitor, why?"
