I've always seen that and assumed it was some kind of comfy gel mat or something. lol I should have asked. Very cool!
Someone needs to invent shoes for bass players with some mini subs built into soles. Something in the same vein as the Backbeat.

As AI generated as that image looks, the idea is intriguing as I've used transducers on stage for over 20 years & have been using a Backbeat G2 for the better part of a year. So of course I Googled 'Haptic Feedback Shoes'... lo and behold it looks like there is actually more than one company making them for gamers. The one I saw most frequently referenced is by a company called DropLabs:
DropLabs’ EP-01 speaker shoes make for an excellent VR accessory
That is, if you can overlook their cumbersome setup process

They're about $300 on Amazon:
We definitely live in some very interesting times.

You and Apollo talking about the Bassrig really makes my hankering for one not lessen muchThe Gladio into the Bassrig Super Vintage really does sound exceptional & helped sell me on the Bassrig.
This is sounding great right now as well though.... We'll see if the DCX sticks, I opt for the Gladio, or stick the Octron 3 there. Decisions, decisions.

I think my Stingray through one would really give that classic combo sound. I'm not sure as many pedals nail the SVT sound? Hoping Sushi will do something eventually, maybe the Grand Slampegg...
This video here is just running a Origin CB into the Bassrig.
Going ampless on a silent stage has been a journey for me over a decade. Something about playing with a backline with a bass amp... next to an uncaged drummer... you feel the music, and it makes playing music fun. As much as I loved playing with a backline, I don't miss the ringing ears after playing a gig. When I went to IEM's, it wasn't something I enjoyed, but I was committed to it. It has evolved to what it is today... and I'm still evolving my silent stage setup. The isolation of IEM's is great, and I can hear all the instruments clearly... but I was just missing the feel on a stage. The bassboard adds back what I was missing, though not the same... it is immersive and makes playing music fun.
Next change I'm in the process of doing... Since Behringer dropped their prices on most of their gear to 50% off, I ordered an X32 Rack mixer to add to my wireless rack. I've seen a few video's on how to use the X32 Rack as on stage monitor mixer from a X32 console... which is what my home church uses. I'm hoping to pan channels into a stereo mix through X32 Rack... so I have a stereo mix in my IEM's. The mega church I get scheduled at one in a while have personal stereo mixes to all worship team members. My bass sounds great in my mix because of the separation. It's like listening to a professional recording... but it's us playing live. My home church doesn't have enough outputs for a stereo mix... but I didn't by the X32 rack for only a church. I plan to use it as an interface at home... do some recordings, and playing with friends. Since multitracks playback is supported on the X32, I can PEQ tracks and pan on the X32... which will make silent practice fun in stereo.
Wow! I own and use Backbeat....and Eich bassboard.....and Eich drumchair.....and I will need to get these as well, I am afraid...
I have a BackBeat... I used it for drums, and the bassboard for my bass. I got lazy, and just output drums and bass to the bassboard now... but the separation with the backbeat and bassboard felt better. Just a hassle to charge another device, and another thing to setup at church. I have an extra unused buttkicker transducer that I was thinking of mounting under the rolling drum cage... but I would rather sell it than donate it... haha... Transducers are a game changer in music, gaming, and movie watching. I have 4 aurasounds sitting my office for another future project.
I get that. The way our sound system hangs off the ceiling in our sanctuaries I can feel the bass/kick drum quite a bit. If I didn't have even that it would feel really odd I imagine.
Some of the guys were suggesting upgrading to custom molded in ears by Alclair. My issue is so many companies making $500 and up in ears that don't get the best of reviews lol. I'd rather buy more pedals if the in ears aren't going to blow me away.
I'm not opposed to upgrading over the KZs I'm using. My only real gripe with the KZs is I think a driver is starting to go bad. They fart out a bit when they didn't use to. But for $40 bucks eh. I'd like something better more for playing at home but I've considered just getting some nice cans for that.
It's hard for me to recommend Customs. Telling someone to invest in CIEM's, when there is a chance they won't like them... is an expensive recommendation. I went to NAMM with our WL long ago, and we tried IEM's by reputable companies (1964 Ears, Westone... etc), and we really liked them. We recommended it to our church leaders, and they budgeted CIEM's for the core musicians. At the time, we got them made by Alclair for the WT. I got the Tours model... and that's when I realized that CIEM's are what works for me over universals.
Knowing what I know now, and back then... I would have no issues spending the $500... which is why upgrading to 64 Audio A12t's felt justified... and have no regrets buying the model I got. I still can't recommend CIEM's because it works great for me, but I can recommend brands like Alclairs or 64's. I prefer the 64's... not because they cost more, but the APEX module and the large port mesh design are game changers for me. The APEX module is like an open back headphone... it relieves pressure build up, and I have some ambience.. Also the mesh port design is so much easier to clean and maintain. I use my 64's more, but I still have my Alclair tours as backup, and they still sound great on stage. Not much of a difference between the 2 on stage. Where the 12t's shine is music/movie listening and gaming at home. You don't have to spend a lot to get into customs for stage use. 3 driver minimum (high, mids, lows/subs) is all a musician/singer needs on stage.
Thanks for that in depth run down. I was looking at the Alclair Tours, as well as the 64 Audio A3E's. Considering I'm just a volunteer rotating bi weekly that's pretty much the high end of what I'd want to put into them at this time. I have an audiologist friend so I think I wouldn't have to dump a ton for the fitting.It's hard for me to recommend Customs.

Getting custom molds was the best decision I ever made. I love my 64 audio N8's!
Totally different experience compared to using the KZ zs10 pro's… but I still recommend them and I own 3 pairs so I still like them.
